Catch Reports
First Time on Bait Produces a Forty!
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th October 2007It’s always nice to receive catch reports from customers but they don’t get much better than this one! Mike Rigby decided to use the Cream-CSM for a forthcoming campaign at Yateley Sandhurst complex. He’d never used the bait before but was obviously aware of its awesome winter track record. He decided to purchase some freshly rolled CSM, together with some Base Mix/attractors to roll his own.
Well what can we say! On his very first trip using the CSM, Mike managed to bank this cracking 41lb 6oz mirror – his first ever forty, and what a way to start!! But if that wasn’t enough, just a few hours later he managed to nail another whacker, this time in the shape of a 33lb 8oz mirror! Well done Mike, top angling son.
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!
