Fishing Tackle Talk: Winter Silverfish & F1 Tackle

A closer look at Jon Arthur's tackle ahead of a winter festival at White Acres Holiday Park. The Matrix-backed match angler is fishing a three-day event at the popular Cornish venue where only silverfish and F1s count. #matchfishing #livematchfishing #matchfishingfilms

Great video on your prep for the festival Jon, you had three good sessions by the looks of it and I hope they got you into the top 3 on each day

[@MarkBarrell.Fishing]

When you get a chance, can you do a summer tackle vid for white acres? I'm going in July haven't been for years. Cheers!

You mentioned power micron seems very similar to an old line you used to use .....it wasn’t pro micron was it?

Hi jon. What drop shot would you use on your silverfish rigs.

[@JonArthur]

I prefer No11s mostly, but No10s on more positive rigs and No9s or even No8s on heavy rigs when I want lift bites from skimmers etc. Lightest canal-style rigs I like No12s.

@@JonArthur thanks john.

Those mojo floats look very similar to old Drennan perch floats 🤔🤔🤔great floats

[@mickrumford2164]

jon how highly do you rate malman floats.. i know a lot of top anglers use them, rob wooton etc

[@JonArthur]

I wouldn't use them if I didn't rate them. Both Gaz Malham and Mick Wilkinson have been making handmade floats longer than most and are hard to beat!

[@sillybait1329]

Hi Jon, I notice that you are now a Matrix man,, I want some elastic similar strength to white hydro with similar actions as the last few white Hydrolastics I have bought seem very harsh compared to older stuff is there a new matrix elastic I could use as a replacement?

[@mickrumford2164]

white hydro is definately not what it used to be. although its a higher rating ive found the old preston hollo 11 much more forgiving when catching carp long in the colder weather.

[@JonArthur]

Matrix 10-12 Core might be what you're after as an equivalent, but I'd definitely give 10-12 Slik a go as you might find it performs even better, despite being solid.

[@sillybait1329]

@@JonArthur I used to love white hydro, it seemed to stretch forever, so I will look into both options, thanks Jon. 👍👍
