Thank you Mark! Much respect to you!!!

[@AddictedtoanglingwithNikUpton]

I love the excitement in your voice as you’re explaining and can’t wait to cast in

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks Nik! There’s no better place to be than by a wild waterway!

good to see another video, i must give this a try myself, i've no patience for watching a rod in a rodrest! this method seems more proactive. nice simple rigs too, well explained. good luck Ian!😊👍

[@PikerBiker]

Cheers Matey! Aye! Definitely more fun holding a rod in hand, you feel everything! Rarely miss a bite. You can get an idea what’s happening down there. I was fooled by that chub! It sprang off on a run, I think it thought it was a barbel. As soon as I turned it away from the snag then I knew it was coming in too easily. I returned and had numerous barbel a few days later. I couldn’t catch a chub if I tried! I will post that one next

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

​@PikerBiker ha ha! Fools barbel! Chub have mugged me many times over the years, for a moment they've been salmon, sea trout, big brownies, pike and many times barbel! Same with bream when targetting tench! The 1st strong run has you duped!

[@PikerBiker]

They get me every time on that swim as they know the snags and motor straight for them

[@paulholmes9552]

Oh Ian, , love the video as always but !!!!!!! Please please always put your bloopers on at the end, I nearly wet myself 😂😂😂😂😂

[@PikerBiker]

I will try my best Paul 😂

[@neilgraves5069]

Superb Ian , simple tactics great results 🎣🎣 Can you share a link to purchase the feeders you use pleasr Ian . Thank you

[@PikerBiker]

I believe I was using a camo cage feeder with a run ring to eliminate resistance to feel the bites. Drennan make them, as do Korum and the Nisa feeders are also very good.

Really enjoyed your video ❤

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks Mun

[@mickbrooks8114]

Where on ribble was you?

[@PikerBiker]

Lower ribble

[@mickbrooks8114]

@PikerBiker I been fishing from tickle trout in to woods no barbel yet

[@ProAnglingNW]

About time you popped up again on the ribble I'm yet to catch a barbel from the stretch you fish on. You've given me loads of great hints and tips from your previous videos that's helped me in my preparation ready for a session on the ribble

[@PikerBiker]

@@mickbrooks8114 you will definitely get a few in that location. My mate had loads up to 12lb! Keep me informed how you get on

[@PikerBiker]

@@ProAnglingNW thanks Aaron! I am sure you will hit into a barbel soon. They seem to be coming out regularly at the moment as my friend reported a red letter day! He had over 10 fish to 12lb. Keep at it and your day will come!

not really touch ledgering with all that weight on.

[@PikerBiker]

I get ye but touch ledgering has no parameters, which is why I love it so much! The weight has to hold in the current with it being a fast glide, anything lighter and it wouldn’t hold. It still is touch ledgering regardless of the weight
