Catch Reports
Lee Nails Heather!
Posted in Catch Reports on 31st August 2006Leicestershire based big carp angler Lee Petty has caught an impressive amount of big carp from a variety of different waters up and down the country since using the B5. However, during the latter part of 2006 Lee decided to take on the mighty challenge of the famous Yateley Car Park Lake, with the impressive Heather the Leather high on his wish list.
Lee fully expected a long haul ahead of him, but armed with the B5 and the confidence of his own ability, it took Lee just one visit to bank one of the country’s most sought after resident’s – Heather the Leather at a massive 52lbs. Top B5 bombing!
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!
