Catching Barbel on the Float and Centrpin

We are back after the barbel, this time on a new method to me... on the float! Trotting meat on a small river brought a nice fish in the first swim after some loose feeding. It was great on the Centrpin reel feeling all the power of the fish. A few swim hops later and we connect to another! Thanks for watching, be sure to follow me on Instagram:

Cracking video, fish on the centerpin is brilliant, loved it, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

Well done mate, best way to catch Barbel is trotting on the pin. The benefit of the pin is obvious once you start yo use a pin, no line twisting and it’s so tactile you feel connected unlike a fixed spool reel. New sub from and old Coot, looking forward to more Pin magic.

Enjoyed that very much, thank you.

Looked great fun. Well done.

Well done on your first float fish caught barbel, especially the one out of the snag riddle hell hole that is the second swim. The same one I caught my barbel on opening day. Was very lucky to get that one out on a 3lb hook length.

Awesome video and awesome fish! Barbel seem like such cool creatures. I pin for steelhead in the great lakes and it’s just about the most fun thing ever. Always feel like you’re 1on1 with the fish, and I’ve even had some fish run so hard they bloody my knuckles!

I love trotting a float with a pin reel but it's something i just dont do enough of unfortunately.

[@iankenison9962]

I enjoy your vids and I’ve fished that venue with a centrepin without a float however I took a chance with 8lb line straight through. Some of the swims require12lb line the snags are rife and a rope to carefully get into position on the bank

[@stevesnailfish]

That new rod and reel worked well dude....Nice one.

[@andyperry6136]

Brill fishing on the pin well done.

[@myke.h2913]

What breaking strain line? how many yards of line? On the reel .

[@darrentones5468]

I'd guess this is near to cowthorpe on river nidd

[@guitarste]

Which bait? Just skipped from intro to hooking the fish

[@robhill645]

Had a 9lb fish on the float from the Wye last autumn… unbelievable battle compared to when you get them on the feeder

[@tomhill9934]

[@darrentones5468]

River Nidd?
