Never had a problem with line lay on my Shimano Baitrunners and have had many. I won’t say any more about the Double Strength mate because I said it all on text but that decision has cost you a fish, not the reel, because correctly tied flouro or braid in 12lb will not snap even if you hook and hold a 20lb fish. At least you won’t make that mistake again!

Yes, you're correct, my fault. I did have the clutch too tight though.

On one rod I have put 15lb coated braid stripped back 3". On the other rod I've gone with my tried and trusted flouro. Problem i have though is weed on the line even though i have my rods on the tripod at 11 o'clock.

3-12am and I'm wide awake after grabbing an hour an half shut eye in the storm. Time for a brew i think.

*Edit.

2 minutes after writing this my bottom rod went. 5 minutes later another 7lb barbel(weighed) in the net. A quick glug of my source boilie in fermented shrimp(fuckin' stinks) and another PVA bag on and I'm cast in again.

I might even get chance to put the kettle on now: )

I've since had an 8lb 2oz barbel and another at 9lb 3oz. Three fish on the same rod and same boile. Get in! : )

I'm on 9 barbel so far, cracking sport with 2 9lb+ fish. But the fish that pleased me the most was a humble 6 pounder. It fought the hardest and i also caught it at 07:30. All the others came throughout the night and early morning.

Wow, superb mate. A big one will come. Could be a really big one. What a session.

 

[snorky]

Beamer, you are still a fuckin noddy! :)

13 barbel so far, 4 in daylight this morning. Three over 9lb, biggest 9-7. Hoping for a double and possibly beat my 12-3 PB. Heres hoping.

Was just about to take a 12 mile round trip to the tackle shop and a cockney geezer kindly offered to go for me: )

BMR won’t have given him cash, not sure he knows what it is.

Not got it yet pal. After quite a bit of research I'm going for a Sonik AQS(camo)

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Slow going throughout the day but i expected that. Had a much needed kip for a couple of hours and was rudely awoken at 14:30 by a nice 8lb barbel that went well.

Just having a tidy up and making a few hook-lengths. Debating whether to mix up a bowl of groundbait for my top rod. Thing is it will encourage single bleep bream and i don't really want that.

Just caught up on the posts for the first time in weeks, as work has been manic. Some great stuff lads, keep it up. Haven't been fishing for months and really need to get out.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Finally caught a double about 11:30pm! A fiesty 10lb 2oz beauty. 18 barbel so far. Time to try and grab a bit of sleep.

One of my mates landed this yesterday, Dave knows him, looks like tuna for lunch :-)

Is that Chris?

Yeah he got a 600lb marlin as well.

Really! Good lad Chris. He'd been chasing marlin around the world for years without success when we went fishing together. I remember he got his first one a few years ago because he texted me. Pass on my regards. Last time I saw him he had to leave the river because he had a size 8 hook embedded past the barb in his thumb.

Will do, he should be back for Burnley.

Why ? On Rossmere the other week poor old Pat did the same, well in, asked him he could push it through, did exactly that, I popped for some side-cutters, hey presto, barb off, back through the old thumb, on with the fishing, no time to waste. Muscles in his spit.
