Hey James! Give me a basic rule of thumb ie; so if u have a 3gram float & a 2.5 Olivet how many no 8’s can use to counter balance the float! I’m confused when professional anglers use no’8 or no’ 6’s or no’4 ‘s to present the float ! Ie so how many no’6s or 4’s or whatever is the rule of thumb for a 5 gram or 3 gram float or whatever gram float?
Hi, 1 x #8 shot = 0.06g So about 8 x #8 would be about right. I often use 2 #8 above and below the Olivete to hold it in place. Then that leaves 4 #8 to use as a bulk dropper or spread out. Hope that helps? Cheers James
Bought my Barbel rod from Cadence, best rod ive ever used.
Hi James, do you think you could do a session fishing the crow quill?
Hi! Yes would be great, try and shoot one soon. Cheers James
You have to do light wag featuring Drake as this is the ultimate in finesse during good conditions.
Thanks for the infos!
That's a proper crowquill Avon! Do you know where I can get some?
Great vid!
Your explanation was great but seems the same as you said for the bolo, is there a distinction where you would use these Vs a bolo?
