B5 now nails the Big Dink!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th March 2008Now here’s a nice story…Jason Woods from Dorking, Surrey has been fishing the Cemex Longfield Road lake with his cousin Dan Chart, who recently banked the venues other forty, ‘Clover’ at a weight of 41lb 8oz (pictured above). Since the capture of Clover Dan has continued his quest for the Big Dink and has had a number of other fish from the difficult venue since switching over to the B5.
Now Jason, not wanting to miss a trick, asked Cousin Dan if he could try some of this B5 stuff that seems to be producing all the goods. Dan kindly obliges by giving Jason a kilo of the B5 – and we all know what’s going to happen next!! Yep, out go twenty-five B5 freebies to a silt spot at 15-yards close to two small islands and bingo!! Within a short space of time Jason is smiling at the camera with the Big Dink at a weight of 41lb 10oz! Top B5 bombing yet again.
Cork ball advantages
Although we provide cork dust pop-ups, we also appreciate that some customers prefer cork ball pop-ups and I think that it's generally accepted that cork ball pop-ups are the best method for long term buoyancy. This can be particularly advantageous for many modern day rigs such as chod rigs and Hinged Stiff-rigs. These clever little packs allow anglers to create their own cork ball pop-ups with little effort. You can also regulate the amount of paste you use to make them more buoyant or turn them into slow sinkers.
Top tip
If you are having problems with diving birds or nuisance fish, you can combat this by 'meshing up'. The best method we have seen to do this is to cut a small section of tights (we recommend you get your missus's permission first!). Wrap the pop-up in the fine mesh, pull tight, tie off with floss, 'blob' the excess with a lighter and away you go.
