Thanks Guys and pleased the article was well recieved. it was always a risk writing a 3 part Chubbing article and having something fresh to say on the topic. Part 3 may be titled 'using Chapel baits to land Suffolk Chub!' Merry Christmas to all! - And Eddie and Neil, I might have to get in contact and see about doing something about my Barbel PB which stands at a very modest 6lb4oz!!!!
