Barbel on big wagglers????

[rickybiggs99]

Just been looking at this site

Premier Floats and Tackle : Woody's Floats 5

and I reckon it is the speci wagglers they're using.
Gonna have to get me some of those.

Goodluck!

It does have a lot of potential mate. There are many swims on the Trent where a sizable waggler trotted down a few rod lengths out will beat the stick hands down. My old mate Jim Baxter pointed out this to me.

A straight waggler that will hold some shot will work well. Dont use shot to lock the waggler, rather use a couple of leger stops. Reel line minimum 8lbs with 6lbs Incognito hook length should see you OK on most swims.

Take plenty of maggies!

Outfished all the barbel experts with there lovely shiny barbel rods, shimanos, grubber elips and centre pins...

The float is "simply the best" when it comes to fishing for Barbel-- so many seem to fight the flow sooner than use it.

I use speci wagglers on the Trent, using a bagging waggler connector, and fish it like a topper float. Brilliant when the wind is all wrong.
