CATFISHING IN THE U.K. FOR MOST VENUES IN THE UNITED
KINGDOM, A STANDARD CARP REEL WITH A FREE SPOOL FACILITY AND A GOOD CLUTCH IS
IDEAL.. |
|
WHILE THE SOCIETY DOES NOT ENDORSE A
PARTICULAR MANUFACTURER OR MAKE OF REEL. THIS SECTION IS DESIGNED TO GIVE
ANGLERS ADVICE AS TO THE TYPES OF REELS REQUIRED FOR THE DIFFERET ASPECTS OF
CATFISHING. |
|
CONTINENTAL
CATFISHING FOR MOST LAKES IN EUROPE STANDARD
CARP REELS ARE ADEQUETE, FOR THE VENUES WITH LARGER FISH AND GREATER EXPANSES
OF WATER AS WELL AS PELLET FISHING ON THE RIVERS WE WOULD RECOMMEND THE USE
OF BIG PIT REELS. |
|
CONTINENTAL BOAT AND LIVEBAIT CATFISHING FOR THIS TYPE OF FISHING WE WOULD RECOMMEND THE USE OF SUITABLE MULTIPLIER REELS, WITH A GOOD DRAG
SYSTEM. |
|
MAINLINE/BRAID THE CHOICE OF MAINLINE/BRAID LIKE
CARP FISHING IS A PERSONAL CHOICE, HOWEVER WHEN FISHING IN FLOWING RIVERS
SUCH AS THE EBRO WE WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND BRAID OVER LINE DUE TO THE LACK OF
STRETCH IN BRAID COMPARED TO NORMAL LINE. TYPICALLY WE WOULD RECOMMEND 15LB
–25LB LINE FOR THE UK. FOR CONTINENTAL RIVERS WE WOULD RECOMMEND BRAID WITH A
BREAKING STRAIN OF AROUND 60KG. |
