Here in our part of the US, commons are....common.
So a thirty mirror is much desired. I've had 10 x common 30s and 1 mirror so far here in NC ....

There's easy waters and hard waters, my water is tricky but when you catch it won't be under low twenty and more than likely a thirty.
The trick is catching the forties, theres only about a dozen of them, there's a 100 ish thirties. The real target though is the handful of fifties.
You can only catch what's in there, one mans thirty is another's twenty.

Prefer dark old scaley mirrors over commons, but all depends what fish i've set my mind on.
Targetted a 60+ common 10 years ago and it took me 3 years to catch it.
Now i'm after a mid 50 mirror for nearly 2 years already.
Living in Belgium there's big fish all over the country.
Again, i prefer mirrors, but i won't shake a stunning looking or big common off the hook either.

Sounds like quite the water that. Don't know what it's got to do with the commons/mirrors debate though.
I'd personally have a mirror every single day of the week. Mainly due to their individuality in comparison to commons. A common has to really stand out to be special for me.

Sounds like a nice ticket that fella
Edit: I agree Tom, mirror all day for me.

Either would be great, but pushed I would say mirror. 40lb common now that might change a few things 🤔
Both, Common first then the Mirror moments later.
I'd rather catch chlamydia than some of the **** pigs I've seen in the 30-50lb bracket. Got packs of shrink tube older than some of them.

You must of had both as I thought you had a club ticket near me.

I have no preference they are all good.

Whichever takes my bait.
Sure I would love to catch a 30lb common, never had one although I have had a few mirrors over 30lb, but I'm happy with whatever comes.

I guess it's a bit special Ian but sometimes you forget how lucky you are.
I guess that's because everywhere you look these days you'd think it was the norm based on social media etc, is it? I don't know these days.
Big dark Mirrors and Chestnut Commons when I catch but its as much about the surroundings, the atmosphere and the members than just the fish, lost on quite a few on here.
Hyperloop, I'd of thought by now you'd know how a forum works, it's a conversation within a thread between me a and Century, now repeat that back to me so I know you understand 😂

Yeah it is about being out there, my first 30 was a
common and it was great. I've since had a 30lb Linear and Mirrors all nice so no preference.
