The lead / rig will swing back towards you on a tight line as you feel it down. The deeper the water the further it will swing back towards you . 1ft back in every 3ft of water won't see you far away 😉 Well damn I thought I was doing it wrong! Lake im fishing is only 3-4ft deep in the spots im using at the moment. Cheers for the advice 👍 chillfactor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been dreaming on a powered barrow for a while, only real exercise I get is pushing my gear the mile I need to walk to my swims and im using a 3 wheel barrow so not even that bad haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or place my rigs by hand😉 Walking my lines out I found keeps out line twist, which I did get from distance sticks. Not sure of the physics of that but distance sticks definitely increased it.

Have been there before, was shocked by the difference when I pumped the tyres up got some good exercise for a little while but definitely happier when it's easier haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Putting carbon on the back burner and fishing with vintage gear... best thing by far in all my fishing... I packed up match fishing and started fishing for myself once I stopped using carbon... now pretty much all my fishing is done with old gear... I doesn't catch me more... but I'm happier on my days out now the pressure is off elmoputney and dayvid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I blanked I used to beat meself up mentally every time.. "why didn't I catch ? What could I have done differently ? Was I in the wrong spot ? Now if I blank... so what...? Since I took the pressure off I have caught more and enjoyed my sport from an aesthetic point of view taking more notice of nature and surroundings... enjoy the journey as well as the destination...👍 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely fantastic way to spend a day, when I float fish I find myself looking at the scenery and wildlife and missing bites though haha bluelabel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
