B5 blitz in Norfolk!
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 2011We've had another impressive report from a group of lads in Norfolk that have been catching very consistently on the B5. The latest report was sent in by Dave Yarham and includes a tally of fish up to 36lb 4oz.
This group started off with a bang back in February when Ian Dowe banked the first fity of the year just hours after first using the B5!! Since then the B5 has totally dominated the lakes they have been fishing. We would like to thank Dave and Caroline for supplying the pictures and off course the guys on the bank for doing what they do best by using the best!!

Balanced Dumbells
There are definitely times when standard round hook baits can lose their effectiveness and a switch to a different shape can often produce the goods. These pellet shaped hook baits offer a viable alternative to standard round hook baits and when mounted on a slightly longer hair and fished over a bed of pellets, they can often make the difference between success and failure!
Their shape not only makes them very difficult for the fish to eject, but coupled with their added buoyancy due to the inclusion of cork dust, they are also superb for fishing over the top of silt or weed. They are also very durable and will last for many hours without being nibbled away by nuisance fish, Crayfish or diving birds. Definitely worth considering when the going gets tough!
Top tip
Try mounting the dumbell on the hair long-ways. This will enter the carp's mouth easier, but will spin around on ejection thus making it more difficult for the carp to eject the hook.
