Patrick Billman paid attention to the elements to bag himself this 25lb beauty from an undisclosed Norfolk venue. Nice one!
Here’s Patrick’s report in full:
“I got to my syndicate lake after work on Friday and after a couple laps of the lake I didn’t really see a lot to go on. One thing I did notice as I was walking round was that the wind had turned to a Southerly (having been been Northerly for a while) so I thought I would have ago on the end of it as it was a fresh wind.
I went and got my gear out of the car and made up 3 chods from 25lb ESP Bristle Filament and Size 5 Stiff Rigger hooks, and connected these to my ESP original camo Leadcore Leaders. All 3 went out just on the edge of a weed bed along with a good scattering of CarpBaitUK’s Form over the area. The next morning I had a screaming take on my right hand rod and after a good scrap I had this lovely 25lb common in my net – happy days!”
ESP Stiff Rig Bristle Filament has super high knot strength, excellent abrasion resistance and comes in spools of 20m. For more information click here.
