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

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

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. Quote

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
bluelabel Posted September 14, 2021 Report 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 dayvid and elmoputney 2 Quote

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
