As I sit on the big water...

When time comes, fish comes.
As I sit on the big water, I have had a few days to think about what happened to me a week ago. We all know what it's like and nobody wants to experience it. When fish take their chance , that's what fishing is all about, otherwise it would be boring. When you know that you yourself caused the fish to be lost, it's even more bitter.

Somewhat comforting is the knowledge that the location, bait, tactics and also the rig managed to get a really big one on the line on the fourth day. These XXL fish have nothing in common with the youngsters or medium-sized fish, not even with the 20 kg fish. And yes, it was once again the liquid powder paste paired with Elite Strawberry Boilies that didn't leave the big one alone.

Fish on the spot mean there is still light on the hook for a long time and that is one of the most common problems these days. On the third day we started using the paste and the trap snapped twice. I am only reporting on one of these cases here today.

In the meantime, I have learned that some people have had problems with fluorocarbon, but others have never had any. We will now investigate this in more detail and carry out tests and a report, because a repeat of this would be extremely unpleasant.

If you have paste , you have fish. And in no time the big XXL fish was on the line

My knot was the problem here, that much is certain, because that's exactly where it broke with the action of the constantly very bent rod. The setup consisted of a 30 Snaggy Water, 14,000 Ultegra on the Temptation MK4 and a 60 Shock'it with a 0.55 Fluocarbon.

Further pictures show the rest. The hair on the over 40 cm long leader is intentionally long.

Snaggy Water, whether yellow or grey is a matter of taste. In overfished waters, despite the shock leader, you can consider fishing as inconspicuously as possible, even if it means you can't see the line as well.

0.30 (visible or invisible touch) fits 490m on the 14000 Ultegra.
