Lee Collings caught this lovely dark 24.10 mirror along with another upper double from Linear St John’s last week.
Lee used a size 10 ESP Big-T tied to and 8lb Drennan Double Strength hook link with a trimmed down pop up as the hook bait.
With the weather set to stay hot for a while yet the floater gear is an absolute essential. The perfect rod for the job is the ESP Mk-2 Floater rod – lightweight and beautifully balanced, this rod is perfect for stalking surface feeeding carp.
Its soft tip and through action makes an excellent shock absorber allowing light hook links to be used and the powerful lunges of hard fighting fish to be absorbed. For more information click here.
