Brilliant Steve really enjoyed that. I've starting match fishing on the middle Severn and I've had 7 out of 10 dnw . This is because I've been fishing for barbel and chub and they haven't been showing unless you're on the barbel flier pegs. This video makes me realise i need to change tactics. Many thanks

Thanks… insightful; Just learning the art of river pole , how do you decide what gram float to use mate cos depth etc ?

[@SteveMaher-ft5xx]

Usual the flow dictate what weight I will use, generally if the float body rides out with the bristle tilted 45 degrees the float is too light, I select heavier until the float bristle settles vertical against the flow, when the float is held still against the flow.

Hi I purchased a couple of torpedo flat float recently and in the package threaded on the stem is a piece of shaped celophane type material they are shown to be fitted on the top of the float between the top holding pin and the antenna what is the exact idea behind this addition I asked cralusso but got no answer. Great videos keep them coming Cheers Len Batten

@lenbatten the clear plastic leaf is to help the water push down keeping the float down in fast water, basically helps stop the float ridding out. Worthwhile hanging onto this plastic leaf in the big sixes they 100% work
