Catching roach on punched bread and feeder tactics (river Trent)
CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW THE FACEBOOK PAGE! Tackle Rod Leeda carp match 12ft feeder rod with a 1oz tip. An old rod but excellent for the job. It has a lovely soft action and ideal for casting small feeders when the river is low and not got a lot of pace in it. Reel Garbolino challenger feeder reel. The distance aspect wouldn't be needed for today's session but a lovely big reel with plenty of cranking power making it very easy to fish with and gives me the opportunity to fish longer if needed. Line 6lb Maxima. This might seem a bit over gunned to some but with constant casting I always prefer to go a bit heavier due to the durability of a thicker diameter line. Hooklengh 4lb flurocarbon Again this may seem on the heavy side but again it's more durable than lighter flurocarbons that can be prone to line twist with repeated casting. I used a hooklengh of around 2ft on this session I would usually use 3 foot but with the river having very little flow on it I wanted to keep my hook...
