Chappy Challenge - 50 Fish on the Link Ledger

[@andrewharper2786]

Brilliant to see proper river angling. Nice change from commercial fishing 👍

[@foxley66]

Great video from Alan and Chappy well done Cadence top viewing. Tight Lines Steve Amison

[@smiff4748]

This has to be the most interesting video ever Alan. Link ledger fishing is something I've never done before but I will be giving it a good try asap. Thank you for sharing Alan, tight lines my friend.

Grew up match fishing the warks Avon as a junior with Redditch . Always always set up a link rod to fish down the edge on the stick line . It was always good for a bonus perch or dog roach ... great way of fishing and defo helped me become a better chub angler on the tip these days 👍🏻😊😊

[@neilmason158]

Cracking Video. Alan always explains his style at the right level so every one can the information on board,

[@richardrouse1873]

Yet again another excellent video from cadence please keep them coming

[@cadencefishinguk]

We'll try to Richard, weather permitting 😛

[@russellmurray8102]

There used to be some bream on that length years ago. It was before LFB Angling club had the lease it was known as the Doctor's, don't know why. Above the woods the Northern Anglers had the fishing up to Halfpenny bridge.

[@cadencefishinguk]

Too true Mark! I think it's a worthwhile approach Alan demonstrates.

[@markrichmond1468]

Cadence Fishing UK Yes I agree great method 👍🏻

[@dianeirvine7624]

😂😂😂 love the humour from you two 😎

[@adamchumbleyfishinimpossible]

Great video chaps

[@robshaw3655]

will have to dig the old sigma wand out... the shot pull off easy if snagged. I dont tend to use a swivel but just push a small shot up the link of line to create a small loop..main line might not run as free as using a swivel so will give that a go next time

[@chrisfoster5098]

Top video. Wish I don’t sell my sigma when having a rest from fishing 🤯

[@cadencefishinguk]

Of course Cadence can help😁👍

[@chrisfoster5098]

I’m waiting to be notified when back in stock cheers

[@grahamjones3906]

is that the ribble upstream of the shaw arms

[@cadencefishinguk]

yep

[@paulm3040]

What size tip ?

[@bazchapman2725]

I fished the sand bank opposite on the day of the video. I'm pretty new to fishing and I'm a bit baffled with your set up. I always thought that your hook length was supposed to be less than your mainline ? I noticed that on the day you fished you also fished the float and it seemed to produce a few better fish for you, is this in your next video. Thanks in advance

[@cadencefishinguk]

Not quite sure what's baffling you Baz🤔 Alan uses lighter hooklength line which is standard practice. We also filmed material for another video on the day. Cheers, Chappy 👍

[@bazchapman2725]

Cheers Chappy, now I'm really baffled. Alan clearly states in the video that he has a mainline of 2.6lb and a hook length of 3lb. Although they are both different diameters they are still obviously 2 different breaking strains. It would appear that your mainline could break before your hook length which doesn't seem to be correct. I tend to do a lot more sea fishing than coarse at present and it would seem logical to have the breaking strains the other way around. I await your reply hopefully quicker than waiting for a cod bite. Cheers Chappy

[@cadencefishinguk]

@@bazchapman2725 he is bobbin' on a bit😄so I'll get him to confirm 👍😁 might just be a genuine error.

[@alanbarnes8766]

Hi Baz, It dioes seem Irish but Bayer 2.6lb has a diameter of .15 mm or theteabouts while Silstar Match Team.10 mm actually comes up on the micrometer at just under .12mm. Think diameters rather than breaking strains.

[@bazchapman2725]

Cheers for the swift reply Alan. I was baffled earlier and now I'm in a bit of a birds nest with your answers. Looking at it a different way, say you were fishing for barbel surely you wouldn't use a mainline REGARDLESS of diameter that was of a lesser breaking strain than your hook length? If I'm in the wrong I think I must be on a steeper learning curve than the steps you and Chappy climbed up at the end of the day after making the video.
