Oh I'd forgot that one! Doh! Also spend more time on looking and watching, swim preparation, and prebaiting than you do actually fishing. For example if I was doing a short 4 hour session then I'd feed the swim for 3 hours and only fish the last hour. Try to exercise self control and not just chuck in straight away. Its better to fish 10 minutes in a properly prepared swim then 10 hours in a bad one.

Use a slow tapering quivertip or upstream leger for them, especially on pressured waters. As both offer the hook bait at a fairly constant and low level of pressure.



Dare to be different.
