Cracking article Roy, describing exactly what happens when barbel are in the swim.
But I'm not sure if setting your gear up to actually attract these line bites is a good thing or not. I have always tried to avoid letting the barbel run into the line by pinning my line to the bottom with lead core or back leads.
Now you've made me think about this some more and I'm wondering if pinning the line down is necessary. If you don't then 'The Knock' definitely gives you the signs you need to know there are barbel in the swim so you can move if you don't get the knock.
Some good food for thought there. What do others think?
