Great pegg this is I just use a lead approach easier I think to get tigt to willows and catapult pellets over top. Each to thier own. Nice barbel pal. And pb perch
Fishing for chub last week, and smashed up by barbel. Went to a 1.5 lb rod and 8lb line and managed to land barbel to 6 lb, but may as well tried to stop cars as land the big ones. Next trip upped to 15 lb line straight through, and managed to bank a biggie from a snag filled swim in a small river. Not pretty, just hit and hold tactics but better unhooked and weighed than trailing gear.
