Heavy braids are used in lure fishing for pike, NOT because pike anglers are afraid of losing a 30 lb pike, but so that they can recover their (VERY expensive) lures from snags.

 

If the lure gets snagged, then a pull on a strong braid line (I use 80 lb Power Pro in such circumstances) will either snap off the snag, or if it of tree-trunk size, straighten out the hook, so at least you get the lure back. With some lures costing £15 or more each, losing several is something to be avoided.

 

(Edit - Just seen noodle996 has said much the same thing)

 

One place to AVOID using braid is when after big fish in rocky rivers. Even the best braids abrade far too easily when confronted with igneous or metamorphic rock. Thickish mono will stand a fish getting the line across a rock, usually long enough for the angler to get the fish. The resultant frayed mono will of course need replacing, but at least you have the fish - with braid there would be no chance

 

That's the exact reason why I am going to start using it on my lure rod....loosing lures which cost £12 a piece can be a very painful experience!

What about trying jelly worms, ten for a pound or shads, pound each?

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
