Aqua Andy banks the 'Woodcarving'
Posted in Catch Reports on 08th November 2011Aqua Products manager Andy Cadwallader has been doing a limited amount of time on the famous Horton complex where the carp obviously recognise a good food bait when they see one! Using the reliable B5 his efforts were rewarded recently when he banked one of the country's finest looking carp - the one and only 'Woodcarving' at a weight of 35lbs. They don't get much better than that one - congratulations Andy - now go back to work and continue making the best range of bivvies and luggage ever produced...
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!
