Jon Davies was back in action on the Motorway Pond near Hull this week. A three fish hit topped by this stunner known as Single Scale at 35lb. Jon said all three fish “fought like mad” and the ever reliable size 5 ESP Stiff Riggers and  Leadcore did the business as usual. ESP Leadcore is immensely strong with a breaking strain of around 45lbs. Its high abrasion resistance makes it ideal for […]
