this is a carp fishing thread!
my fishing in Bangkok is on a large river with a Shakespear float rod, centrepin with 6lb mono. catfish on that are awesome and you certainly feel the stretch
in the UK i carp fish with hand made 2.75 lb Vic Gibson Harrisons with 12 or 15 lb Technium. if you cannot feel how your line is then i would suggest that you pay more attention it is important to know exactly how your gear feels and then to fish accordingly
Had a decent barbel yesterday whilst trotting with a centrepin and a daiwa rod, 6lb sensor which does have a decent stretch.
Barbel do pull back a bit and even though I took my time playing the fish it still put a good bend in the rod and there was no hint of line stretch.....by the way, I do pay attention .
