Carp
A lost-lead rig with 0.25 mm line.
Fishing
Chosen by grams and metres, not by the photo.
The casting weight written as a range, the action on a scale, and how many rigs come out of one spool of line.
Which fish, and which water
The recommendations are ours, from what we have fished, not from a catalogue.
Pike
Lures on a titanium trace, braided line.
Chub and rudd
Float fishing with thin 0.16 mm line.
Tell us which water you are fishing and we will say what from this range suits it.
Rods, reels and line
Lines and how many rigs they make
The strength is the one measured at the knot, not on straight line.
| Diameter | Breaking strength | Spool | Rigs / spool |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0,16 mm | 2,8 kg | 150 m | |
| 0,20 mm | 4,2 kg | 150 m | |
| 0,25 mm | 6,5 kg | 300 m | |
| 0,30 mm | 9,1 kg | 300 m |
The number of rigs is worked out from the length above; fishing with lost leads uses it up faster.
A full spec sheet
Casting weight, action, sections.
Rigs worked out

Before you set off
The licence and the closed season
A recreational fishing licence is obtained from the competent authority, not from a shop. The table below is what we have noted; the periods change from year to year and differ by water body.
Check the regulations in force and the rules of the water before every trip; what is written here is a guide.
| Species | Closed season | Minimum size |
|---|---|---|
| Carp | ||
| Pike | ||
| Zander |
