Minimal gear, and hauling a big heavy chair around, LOL! I used to do the same, but now take a cheap folding foam sit mat, or for real luxury, a Decathlon folding stool ;-) Great vid guys!

A friend of mine has had fantastic results with your baits on the Thames this season with double figure Barbel. I tried to copy his methods on my local small river at the weekend, 6 hours without a touch but when I fined down and went back to traditional baits I started hitting fish. I guess it is horses for courses!

[@DynamiteBaitsTV]

thanks cliff. yes ever river/day is different. i guess its trying out different things to see what works during the session

[@james6495]

What weight backlead do you use and what kind of hooklink do you use?

[@chrisguygeezer]

Cook your own hemp, it'll cost you 75% less. And if you make your own boilies/paste, again, you'll save nearly 50%. A word of warning here. Wearing shorts in long undergrowth, be careful, there may be ticks lurking.

[@interoggationdynamics9639]

nice river but you really dont need to use carp bait to catch wild fish in a little stream like that

[@DynamiteBaitsTV]

hi Etete its a great barbel bait :)

[@interoggationdynamics9639]

@@DynamiteBaitsTV it costs aabout 10 times the price of sweetcorn or luncheon meat i cant afford ten quid on bait every day sorry

[@DynamiteBaitsTV]

@@interoggationdynamics9639 we understand Etete but a bag of boilies often lasts a barbel angler a few sessions so it doesnt work out that expensive over time and always worth it if you land a monster of course ;)

[@interoggationdynamics9639]

@@DynamiteBaitsTV fair enough if it lasts a few sessions i guess its not too bad
