Sneak of the week

[Tartar Horde]

If I used 8-10lb line for Perch, Roach etc my catch rate would fall quite sharply as the line is too heavy, even if I use 3lb hook length. the heavier line is simply too visable in clearer waters. 8-10lbs line would be used for larger species like Carp, Tench and Bream. I sometimes fish with 3lb mainline and a 1lb hook length size 20-22. Using such fine line enables me to catch a lot of "whitebait" sized fish.
