Hi Jake just enjoyed reading about your fishing on the sierra brava , brilliant reading as usual as with all your adventures I feel like I am there on the bank too !!! Your enthusiasm and dedication is fantastic and thanks for the tips on using a marker float this is a tactic which is relatively new to me and one simple mistake I have discovered since reading your advice is to wind down to the lead before clipping up so which I think would cause my lines to run through my baited areas instead of in front so thanks for giving me something to work on !! Thanks again Leigh Herbert

Okay, calculated on the big baitrunner’s capacity of 12lbs – 660yds (606 m) at Daiwa Catana’s diameter of 0.33, then the 25lbs braid must also be 0.33

They don’t actually provide that info on the packaging, brochures, or website. All I can provide info wise is this: I managed to get about 600m of the 25lb Cherokee braid on a big baitrunner spool.

Cheers

I think the only way to ‘get noticed’ these days, with the thousands of carp anglers who participate, in the UK alone, is you have to be something pretty special, taking waters apart season after season, catching the big fish, and backing it all up with good photography, and some captivating words if you can write. To be really blunt, it is a very hard place to get to, as there are so many anglers who want recognition these days, some deserving, some not!
I suppose in a nutshell, if you deserve it, you will get it in the long run; but as always I will say, just enjoy your fishing as that is far more important, and what will be, will be, my friend! Some people work in the industry, magazines, shops, for manufacturers, and that can be a good compromise for some, as it is always a good platform into other opportunities. All the best.

Hello Jake,
