I went fishing for Barbel the other day and I am still pretty new to it all. The flow was gentle in most places, I cast in with a 1.5oz lead which seemed to hold the bottom, but my 1.75tc barbel rod didn't really take on a slight curve, could this be because I was using too heavy a lead?
Also now and again I was getting really fast small twitches that I couldn't strike into, where these just line bites?
