Like it bro .. but no silicone tube on that snap link no ?? Nothing to lock that latch down ??
@fishingmadmidlandslad85368 ай бұрын
They're pretty much self-locking, doesnt really need any silicone on but you can do so for piece of mind.

Inspirational video and a fantastic fish to go with it - well done on your PB. I'm going to follow your guidance on my very first target for Zander next week.

That was interesting, really enjoyed that and very informative. Like the idea of the trace, might be an idea to use a titanium lure trace for the uptrace then, i’ll look into that.Tight lines

Zander and bleak go together like peas and carrots. Nice video mate, I'll be using some of those tips as Zander are somewhat of an enigma to me.

Cracking fish matey. I’ve never had a go at fishing for zander, but I’ve just kitted myself out and I’m putting in some sessions in the coming weeks. You’ve inspired me, great video and some great tips. Keep them coming 🎣

Nice video mate.. i fish that area for zed.. started using single circle hooks for zed a few seasons ago.. definitely improved hookup rate.. use them for pike now.. 100% better and kinder to fish.. nets and hands.. tight lines.. 👌
@karlmclean20239 ай бұрын
As you’ve extended the trace with braid won’t it take longer to get a notification on your rod as the fish can swim nearly 2-3 foot in each direction before coming into contact with the lead. With a Small roach and a pike could get deep hooked, have you had many ?
@fishingmadmidlandslad85369 ай бұрын
This doesnt happen as the rig is running and not fixed, i dont get any deep hooked fish as i always hit bites straight away as soon as i see indication on the tip.

That was a brilliant vid I’ve fished dead’s for zeds for a good couple of decades and you’ve given some good tips there I normally fish canals for them midlands had them into double and on lures my fave fish Shame about electro fishing Thank for sharing 👍🏼🍺tight lines 🎣

That's a cracking idea with the way you tie your traces mate. Like you point out, I am forever wasting 12-18 inches of wire after landing fish or trolleys.
