Great tips. Clearly I’m plumbing too much & my float needs scaling down. Easy when you know huh ?😂😂

[@kevinboswell241]

Jamie I find dobbing with sweetcorn skin just squeeze centre out of sweetcorn then put in top of corn goes through water very slowly

[@peterthornton8520]

As per Kevin's comment. Skin only Corn gives you that added option to go with Bread or Maggots. Great tips Jamie. Cheers.

Thank you so much for putting the LB line conversion at the bottom 👍

My favourite fishery pipehill farm fishery doesn't allow bread and maggots you just get plenty of good silvers but if I want carp or f1s dobbing sweetcorn skin is always a great option all it takes it to gently squeeze the corn until the insides pop out the bottom then your good to go 👍

[@FISHINGMINTY]

I’ll give that a try next time I’m there. Last time I went the carp pushed the skimmers out in the last hour and a half and it was all carp until sunset but if I can get the carp started earlier I’ll try corn skin. 👍

@FRSHNMNTY definitely worth a go especially on willow pool tight to the island

Do you only fit a shot above the float when it’s windy.using a pole.

[@kriswheeler5686]

When and why did everyone change to line diameter from breaking strain?

[@richardtuxford1812]

Diameter has a much bigger effect on bites gained than any notional breaking strain. Pole fishing lines tend to be prestressed therefore thinner at a designated breaking strain, so easier to talk about diameter to save confusion

[@kriswheeler5686]

@@richardtuxford1812 I get that, to a point but surely every manufacturer is slightly different on diameters, personally I don’t see how saying 0.22 is easier, faster or more accurate than saying 4lb or whatever the equivalent especially as not they are putting the breaking strain up on screen Feels to me like it’s added another layer of complication that isn’t needed. We all know 4lb is gonna be thicker than 2lb

[@richardtuxford1812]

@@kriswheeler5686 it is more accurate as you are stating the diameter of the line which, hopefully,most brands will be within a small tolerance of its diameter. 4lb accupower is 0.14, where as 4lb maxima is 0.18 (and in all honesty, probably more). Line stiffness (and therefore subtlety or lack thereof) goes up in proportion to the square of the diameter. So two people using "4lb" line to the hook, will have vastly different rigs, and in winter in particular, one may be getting delicate bites, and one won't. Like many match anglers, I've stepped down a hooklength diameter in a match and gone from 0 bites to suddenly getting a few.

What about 2mm expander
