Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net.

 

Sorry I can't help but never saw a quiver tip rod and no tench where I live.

Inder,

 

Tis the season to talk about the fine fishing we will have in the spring. There won't be many pond fish that are easily caught at 1C.

 

Newt and I are both in the U.S. (that's why we can post this time of day) We don't have rods called quivertips but we have rods similar to quivertips. I guess my question is: if you could use your alarm how to you propose to do that? Most fish in the winter are at best litebiting. How do you think your alarm could help you with the fish that are available this time of year? Do you have predators like perch, pike, salmon or trout that you want to try to catch on a quivertip? Seems to me, that would be a tough act.

Welcome to AN :)

Why would you want to do that? Doesnt it defeat the purpose of using a quivertip?

 

There is no reason why not other than it being pretty pointless as you could just use a normal ledger rod rather than a quiver tip if you are not planning on watching the tip. One thing to note is that when a quiver tip gets pulled round it can introduce a good amount of tension and friction on the line meaning if the fish pulls at the right angle it may still pull your rod off the rests. I would reconsider my options personally.

I would use a bulk shotted waggler dotted right down and watch for a lift bite but wouldnt hold your breath as tench will not feed hard in these conditions if at all.

Hi,

 

I think Tench are ni-on impossible to catch at this time of year, although if you get a sunny day in march, in shallow water, you will have a better chance.

 

Good luck and keep trying, never say never... I have seen Tench captured on canals in cold weather, nearly always on bread, maybe a 10mm bread punch, but as someone said, very finiky bites.

 

As for quiver tip with a bite alarm, the one rule about fishing IS there are no rules, so if it suits you, then do it matey...

PS, you might wanna read my thread on winter bream...

Friday evening forum starting mid March 2012. Come in for a coffee, and a chat, or advice. We'll be talking rigs, tactics, venues, and anything else fishing related. Heiniken say's, probably one of the best stocked shops in east anglia... Match, sea, fly, carp, specimum. If we ain't got it, we'll get it. Look for the new Frank Warrich gel baits coming soon...

I would rather be a geek than a rudd angler :yucky::D

I am a geeky Rudd :lol:

 

I use a bite alarm in conjuction with a quiver tip on one water where bites are few and far between,

I also use a baitrunner in freespool at the same time.

I am usually watching the water or wildlife with a pair of binos and as I use the method at this water which holds big Carp Tench and Bream that could have the rod in the water in seconds I find using the alarm and freespool a must.

All in jest :D

 

Rudd/Steve

 

Of course there are no hard and fast rules and if you are in a situation such as Rudds then it may be of some use although why use a quiver tip if you are not going to watch it. I am unsure of the logic as the bendiness of the tip introduces its own friction on the line as the bit develops and it wraps around.
