I agree Nigel, casters have been a top quality bait for years however... In the modern match scene there is no denying the increased impact in recent years. As for quantity, you will catch fish on just 1 pint of Casters however, most big matches these days require huge weights and lots of fish... to achieve this you do need to take more Casters. Regards, Steve.
I use Matrix super soft bands, you can get these pretied on 4" hooklinks 👉 www.anglingdirect.co.uk/matrix-mxc-3-eyed-barbless-bait-band-rigs-10cm?queryID=0d31d5296d8c634ed12c457f700ec381&objectID=95226&indexName=live_ad_uk_products. Regards, Steve.
I fished there before about 15 years ago, Reepham fishery, so finickity with their rules, so OTT, I've only been there once, never again. Went with 2 friends, we are all experienced anglers, half the tackle we took we weren't allowed to use even though it was safe and clean and the bailiff kept checking up on us as if he didn't trust us :(
The fishery has changed hands since then, the rules are sensible and the owners 'Rick and Kelly' are great. Well worth having another visit, don't let the previous trip spoil your views on the fishery. Regards, Steve.
Hi , I fish Float Fish Farm in comps 95% carp is what you are needing to catch 2-12 lbs average 4 lbs but there are silvers mainly roach how can you get past them !!
If you are feeding casters, I would use a red pellet as hookbait. If you the Roach are too much for casters, I would switch to a pellet approach. Regards, Steve.
It's all about rotating your pole over, this slaps the rig on the surface as shown in the video. Takes a-bit of practise to get things nice and smooth. Regards, Steve.
