Can I catch a tench on a hair-rigged twig?

Recommended Posts

Love the replies so far!

 

The tench are feeding and one spot is out fishing the others, so that's the rod I'll try it on. I'll wait for tomorrow though, as mad as it sounds I daren't try it overnight in case a bream turns up, so I'll stick to the unflavoured bits of plastic to be on the safe side til morning!

Dr Kappa you nead to leaf it out as I think you are going out on a bit of a limb by barking up that tree! Trying to jump on Anderoo's great idea instead of boughing down to his greater thirst for knowledge! leaf him alone as after all its from little acorns that mighty oak tree's grow so you shouldnt try to nip this in the bud............... :rolleyes:

 

:D :D :D

Androo,

 

This question is a no-brainer for me. Contrary to the British traditional approach, the moment you lose that willingness to learn new things, you’re in trouble and might as well give up. The biggest thing is just having more confidence in your baits (I'm sure we can all help you). Technological innovations have long been an integral part of the sport of fishing. You've got to be ready to suffer humiliation (sp) if you are ever to elevate your game and become a major impact on the sport.

 

Androo, can I ask a few basic questions about your hair rigged “twig”?. Will you be using a fresh green twig or an old dry dead twig? At this point can you reveal the species of twig? What harmonic size twig do you propose? Will you first be using a echo locator on the quarry (tench?)?

 

I think the question is far to complex for a simple yes or no answer. How much time do we have to respond?

This whole thread has got my head in a spin! :yeah:

 

I think it is the stereo type thread on the internet where everyone never knows what's really going on...Which side are you on?...Don't ask me i aint got a ruddy clue?...Atleast you knew touch ledgering with 3 rods was ****** mind you took your time over it well some did.

 

I like this thread or maybe not...i dunno why are you asking me :blink:

The twigs are now cast, and the waiting begun. Still no offers of sponsorship from Pallatrax...

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

If your casting is accurate (and I'm sure it is!), I don't see why not. Carp would be easier, as they shift more volume through their mouths, but a tench is definitely on the cards, I reckon :)

I just had a tench from one of the less productive spots (fake casters), and the doubt is beginning to set in...! I'll 'stick' with it though :)

I needn't have worried - I just caught a tench of about 6lb on my twigs, two hours after casting them out :) I think my initial suspicion was correct - what you have on the hair is immaterial, if location and baiting are right.

 

Maybe I should do an article for one of the mags on this new wonderbait, or maybe I should wait until expensive plastic 'twigz' are available in the shops and do it then... :D
