14-fish B5 haul!
Posted in Catch Reports on 07th July 2013Richard Kelly has recently had a fantastic result on his syndicate water with a 14-fish haul topped by this cracking 40lb 12oz common. After catching that many fish during a single session, most would be forgiven for thinking that it's an easy water, but this couldn't be further from the truth, and if you caught that many during the whole season it would be considered as being a successful one!!
Richard and his fishing partner Andy Waller have had phenomenal success from the venue since they started using the B5 and have had repeat captures of most of the big fish on several occasions.
Top B5 Bombing once again!
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!
