Braid in commercial fisheries

[UK_Ozzie]

Hi there people

 

Initially I purchased braid for fishing the canal and some of the parks. I have been invited by a friend to fish a private lake with 4 others for Carp.

 

I am unsure if braid is permitted on the lake. If I top shotted the braid with 50 yards of Fluorocarbon would that be Ok?

 

I normally fish with 5 metres of fluorocarbon leader anyrate.

 

Is it just braid hair rigs they are concerned with which may damage or fray a fish?

 

Thanks in advance

The commercials I fish ban braided mainline but are happy for you to use braided hair rigs.

Play safe and contact the fishery first.

Cheers Ill ask them prior.

 

Using a braid hair rig does seem odd. If there was to be scale damage etc you would have thought the immediate end tackle was going to cause scarring?

 

I have a couple of spools so Ill spool one with fluorocarbon.

 

Considering lines like fireline are coated youd think the properties wouldn't be far off nylon or fluorocarbon.

 

Cheers for the advice, appreciated.
