My topwater choices tend towards the small side with junior-sizes of Spooks or Skitter Walks
The right line and leader will ensure a clean drift and make your set up less visible to the fish as they have become very wary over time with the amount to fishing now done in the canals Bites from fish arent always big, sometimes they can be really subtle, so time on the water is the best way to learn Dont rush to scoop the fish into your net
A Carolina rig separates the hook and weight with a leader section that is tied to a swivel, and the weight, which is typically bullet- or egg-shaped, slides on the main line in front of the swivel (and usually a bead, to protect the knot)
I was intrigued: finally, a compact baitcasting reel from Shimano with a digital line counter in metres
Its super-soft floating design enhances underwater action, while the hand-tied 12lb Stern leader and rust-resistant mustard hooks give you strength and reliability on every cast
