Match VS Specialist Tactics - Part 2

In the second part of the video we head to the larger, harder lake and once again are greeted with not what you would call bream weather, however quite a few fish graced our nets this time.
Unfortunately Colin decided not to read the script, watch too many videos and get brain washed in how to catch big bream effectively and squeaky clean me became influenced by him!
Plenty of fish in this one and far too much banter. Hopefully you will all find the video fun and informative and as for Colin, he's not a mate!

Will do....

Love the banter between you two,

Its always light hearted when Colin's around

Very funny and very enjoyable. Perhaps another challenge should be on the cards and then a "Shit Angler" trophy could be awarded to the loser!

[@duncancharmanangling1136]

You up for the challenge then?

[@eynonr1]

@@duncancharmanangling1136 Certainly, although I already have that trophy in my cabinet. Could try a carp fishing Match vs Specialist at Lodge Pond?

Hi Duncan, what is the optimum hook length on the helicopter rig and how far above the feeder should the rig sit, also would there be any advantage to tie an eyed hook with a knotless knot rather than a spade end hook? Keep up the good work

[@duncancharmanangling1136]

Hi Steve, 5inches seems to be best for bream and place the stops holding the hook length above the feeder so that when you fold the hook length against the mainline the hook bait is positioned just above the feeder swivel. Spade end hooks, never used them always an eyed hook tied knots knot style.

[@ownerlaptop1169]

Great video. Won't the stop rubbers slip when playing the bream? Surely the pressure would be enough for the hooklength to slide down to the feeder? Not sure if that would be a problem, but Im very surprised if the stop rubbers have enough grip to hold position when playing a fish. Thanks

[@duncancharmanangling1136]

When using size 16 hooks I play the fish very gently and the rubbers almost always stay put. Obviously the rubbers need to move under more pressure just in case of a crack off/fish lost etc. I find with some customers they tend to strike/pick the rod up too aggressively and play fish far too hard which means the rubbers slip down. If this happens then it's a good idea to protect the feeder knot with something like a small piece of tubbing which I always use when targeting tench that fight that much harder.

[@GillmanStudio]

Great vid. Good landing nets seem hard to come by, handles especially. Can someone make a strong one please!

[@duncancharmanangling1136]

Great suggestion!
