hi there, i was wandering if any one had any thoughts on this subject, i was fishin last night with pal he was on 4lb mono and had a 9lber then lost 1 so went to 8lb mono, he caught 3 good size fish an lost 1 and had 2 pull out so u could say he saw plenty of interrest, while say 30 yards upstream i was on coated braid and didn,t get 1 bite. i sort of wanted to stand by the braid feelin that the problem was me being 30yards upstream thus the fish coming upstream were findin his bait and feeder 1st, so i moved down stream 100yards an still no bite, i left very unhappy an confused. we fished same method 3glued 10mm pellets with groundbait in feeder,only diference was hooklength, he is convinced that the braid was simply to detectable/noticeable hence no bites, and i feel this is probably right, but if it is right how com so many people use braid hooklink and get plenty, any comments greatly .appriciated.1 more thing ,, i did peel the coatin back maybe1 inch above hook, so i could basicly tie the knotless knot. we fished severn near shrewsbury,water was slightly coloured and falling but had a acouple foot on from nsl.thanks in advance.warren
