More big carp for Richard
Posted in Catch Reports on 31st May 2014One man you can't keep out of the limelight when it comes to catching big carp on a regular basis is Richard Kelly. Rich has been at it again recently and once again, he has been using our awesome Shellfish B5 boilies to very good effect by landing a couple of cracking fish. The first being a fantastic common weighing 35lbs and the second being a stunning 44lb 8oz mirror!
Meanwhile, his fishing partner Andy Waller has been catching a few good fish on the same bait from the same venue, including a couple of mid thirties. Report to follow in due course. They certainly seem to love the B5 on there, but show us a carp that doesn't!!
Backlead use
Back leads can be very advantageous in certain circumstances, particularly on venues that receive lots of pressure from anglers and you need to pin your line down to the lake bed. On such venues, any fish that bump into your lines, can often mean the kiss of death. To avoid this, it's best to pin your lines down. Yes, this can be acheived by using slack lines, but the big disadvantage there is that you will also lose vital bite indication. By dropping on a back lead, you can pin your lines down, yet still keep them semi-tight to register bites. They also minimise the chances of you catching your other lines whilst playing fish back to the bank.
The problem with most back leads however is that in the event of hooking a fish, they don't slide down the line very well, but we can assure you there's no chance of that happening with these!
