It can be very tricky at this time of year but adapting and tweaking his rigs is keeping the bites coming for Rob Shanks, good angling mate!
“After a previous session where I spent a large proportion of the time up a tree watching the extremely cagey carp ejecting my rigs in the crystal clear water, I returned for an overnighter armed with a new presentation.
After finding a few fish visiting a shallow margin I managed to get the rig in and small handful of bait without causing too much disturbance. I was rewarded at first light with this cracking common which weighed in at 25lb exactly.
The successful products on this occasion ESP 18lb Ghost Soft and size 5 stiff riggers.”
ESP Soft Ghost is a softer, more versatile fluorocarbon which can be used on a variety of rigs and leaders. Being a pure fluorocarbon it has the same light refractive index as water making it virtually invisible. Click here for more information.
