Sean raises another very interesting question: Are big baits or small baits best for barbel?
Sean swears by small baits (which are my own preference) but how many articles and news reports have we read when big barbel (and plenty of small ones) have been caught on ridiculously large baits like half a tin of luncheon meat and two 18mm boilies?
Is it again another case of you catch on whatever you've got confidence in and the barbel, in reality, couldn't give a monkey's?
Or is it a case of offering a bait to suit the swim and the conditions at the time?
