Catch Reports
Kingsmead B5 Blitz!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013Long term Essential Bait user David Acreman always seems to catch a consistent amount of big carp and few people deserve it more when you consider it's a 300+ mile round trip to his chosen venue at Kingsmead, let alone his limited fishing time.
However, David has been rewarded handsomely this spring with a number of very good fish that have all fallen victim to the B5. Some of Dave's captures have been absolute stunners, including this beautiful 30+ mirror and this classic shaped common of 40lb 6oz - what a fish! Top B5 Bombing again dave - keep 'em coming!
Backlead use
Back leads can be very advantageous in certain circumstances, particularly on venues that receive lots of pressure from anglers and you need to pin your line down to the lake bed. On such venues, any fish that bump into your lines, can often mean the kiss of death. To avoid this, it's best to pin your lines down. Yes, this can be acheived by using slack lines, but the big disadvantage there is that you will also lose vital bite indication. By dropping on a back lead, you can pin your lines down, yet still keep them semi-tight to register bites. They also minimise the chances of you catching your other lines whilst playing fish back to the bank.
The problem with most back leads however is that in the event of hooking a fish, they don't slide down the line very well, but we can assure you there's no chance of that happening with these!
