Hi,you menion using blockends for pellets ,I use cage feeders and seal ends with groundbait as did not think pellets would come out of a blockend Up to what size pellets do you use in a block end? Also what size feeder do you normally use on Wye(not wieght pyiscal size? BOB

[@MickAndruz]

Dave used 4mm pellets mate

[@FScully100]

what rod do ye need for those heavy feeders?

[@anglingescapadeswithdavero2363]

Cadence CR10 12ft Specimen Rod in 1.50 TC and Avon top was used.

[@MickAndruz]

Today I used Dave's Cadence CR10 1.75 TC No issues at all

[@FScully100]

thanks guys looks like a great session

[@chrisguygeezer]

Fabulous pointers, but those landing nets are way to small for those barbel

[@anglingescapadeswithdavero2363]

Oh dear! What are you even saying! 😂😂

[@chrisguygeezer]

@@anglingescapadeswithdavero2363 larger fish need larger nets, particularly for them to rest and recover in, before release. You're experienced, so I'm surprised I need to explain.

[@anglingescapadeswithdavero2363]

I’d fit in that net!!!😂😂 How about a net so big you can’t manoeuvre it. It’s so big you can only use a 6 foot handle so useless on high banks, and have to play a fish so long and tired that only when it’s lay half dead on the surface you can slip it into your waiting trawler net! Get out and get some experience, because the stuff your reading has lead you to a foolish misguided comment!

@@anglingescapadeswithdavero2363 used to catch 2-300 per season on the BA back in it's heyday. I think I've learnt plenty over the years. 😉

[@anglingescapadeswithdavero2363]

@@chrisguygeezerWell I’m glad I’ve enlightened you as to why you’re having to rest your fish for so long! 👍

[@Jmastives]

Anyone who wants to catch barbel. I'd strongly advise a day out with Dave.
