spoke to soon yet again , went out last Wednesday fished 2 rods on ledger , one on the dyson live roach , and one on a big bunch of worms 6 worms to be exact ,
both rods went off at the same time ,which never happens , my mate jumped on the other rod .
now what ever took my live roach , went off like a train , but i got it under control ,dont think it was a perch unless it was a record breaker who knows ....anyway it spat the bait 10 yards out ,and i never seen the fish , my mate passed the other rod to me and it felt like a good fish , this weeded up solid ,left it for 10 minutes but still not giving , had to pull for a break in the end ......so never seen either of the fish ....and there are no pike in this venue so god knows what was on the end .....the target was perch and eels.....

2 rods out for the perch and eels , roach to each rod , dyson set up and simple running ledger set up on the other ......

within 5 mins the running ledger rods off ......as i lost a good fish to the weed the other day , so i bullied it-away from the weed.... lost it ....good start

I remember a day out with Kev where an eel of about a pound took a six inch live roach whilst I was looking for my first zander

makes you realise how aggressive a eel takes the bait thought it was a pike at first didn't half put a bend in my rod .....,swapped a few rods over to 2 and half lb tests.... just so i can bully them away from the weed beds .

I wouldn't use anything under 2.5lb for eels.

me too now , its cost me a few fish , you need that extra leverage when weedy ......
had better bites to the running ledger rods in comparison to the dyson rig set up ......for now

[stubbojo]

going to make some short wire hooklinks for the eels as the pike have taken a shine to my rudd heads....... wasnt the case a month back .....or maybe stick to worm baits
