Yeah I intend to do the same as I do when fishing for bass and use a length of fluro leader

Can't get out to a local tackle shop to pick brains but was wondering...

I've been doing a fair bit of lure fishing for bass recently and wanted to do a bit of lure fishing for freshwater species.

Ideally targeting perch but understand that it's very likely I'll hook into pike at some point what sort of gear do you recommend? My bass setup is a 8'6 7-24g rod with a 3000 sized reel and 20lb braid, sounds overkill for perch but maybe not so much for pike?

What's the best way to deal with this as most of the waters locally contain both perch and pike and I don't really want to ruin the sport of fishing for the perch with heavy tackle and wire traces etc.

I have previously used the forum to sell various bits and bobs but can't access it anymore. What do I need to do to be able to sell again?

Thanks

I recall seeing a few people using what's essentially a big tarp and a bankstick to create a cover over their bedchair for summer evenings without the need for a bivvy. What are they called? How do they work and where do I buy one?

Try Hull Angling.

I used to have a pair of Mk2s 2.75 TC and absolutely loved them

Don't you think the reels are a little bit overkill though?

I think it's a toss up between the XS and ADV1 at the moment.

How would the XS compare to the Hi-S ?

No but surely there in there. Doesn't it say on the signage around the res that it was stocked with fish?

Also does anyone have an opinion on Free Spirit ES's? Would these be a good match for the Tourney's?
