nickcarpy wrote:you can fish a slack line to a float,you can just watch you line for detection an you can get extra heavy leadcore,iam happy fishing my way,its never harmed any fish an will keep doing so,anyone who can proof differant are welcome to!i gave my views on leadcore an stick by themso if anyone wants to do ditterant to them ,let them.

what is it though?

iam on about slack lines to a float or to a lead fished on leadcore mate,the leadcore i use; if an when it is carp r us,will check..whot you saying is you have to have a tight line alltime to a float or to a ledger ?dont we allways let the fish take a bit of line then strike on the run?

yes always fish atight line for pike its how drop offs work and the basis of the free runing principle

and no i dont let the pike take a bit of line then strike on the run when i get an indication of a run i hit it as soon as i possibly can

mate im going to save you a fortune the extra heavy carp are us stuff can be bought here under a different name

ok its not the plain grey you will have to order that from the states on 100m spools for about 20 dollars plus postage but a black marker will sort the colour out

cheers rob,

noodle thanks for the link,cross wires i think,like i say i allways watch my rod tips when fishing,an if i see a bump,movement iam there.then as soon as the line moves[not even a foot] i strike pal.never done me wrong,no deep hooked pike like i say fish it like the old swing tip method.carp guys think the swingers are new but all it is is a type of swingtip differant way round now fished in the middle of the rod

pet hate bobbins up front for pike

i wasnt aware thats how you were fishing it i assume that you were on drop offs which with waht you were describing would be rather dodgy to pike

i do get the slack line stuff having used it in carp fishing

i gett muddy colour and silt leadcore for the waters i fish,can alter colours with a marker pen ect,do you allways fish a tight line to a float or float patornoster?i use delkims as a extrea but a times you get false bleeps?

i fish tight to floats for pike yes be they pats bottom only or cd styles

in all hnesty with the lead core i think all your doing is adding a none essential bit of gear and knot into the set up

if your on a float the leadcore will get lifted you are better indication wise fishing straight to the weight your using

and dont get me started on lead core with free running set ups as it really doesnt work all that well

which i did find odd when we played with all this stuff

leadcore .....pike........leadcore..............pike.................whats all this about you will be glugging your sardins in scopex next ........

jokeing apart pikeing should be kept simple best not to over complicate things in my opinion pike are not tackle shy ..... i.e trace wire ...trebles... dont forget paternosterd rigs with the weight on the bottom sometimes upto 3oz in my eyes just like a bolt rig i even use these in winter ..... with results so much for resistance rigs

agree stubbo

good reading. this statement says it all ..[b][u]if the fish cant move the lead at all the only movement will be the line thru the run ring pulling the line out of the drop off clip

we have all spoke about it on here. if anyone that lives nearbuy to me and wants to try 3-6oz leads i'll give you some to try. it will change your views

nick ive still got a hutchy catalogue from 1987. went to his shop in legbourne, and i think i spent about £2

noodle you hit the nail on the head,thats why i wont use any less than 3 oz,smsller leads can be moved easier with no indicatoin
