Great Video, glad to see you carrying on the great Brum tradition of Zander angling, remember working with Ray Armstrong many moons ago, great bloke and angler. 👌🎣🎣💚

That's a cracking idea with the way you tie your traces mate. Like you point out, I am forever wasting 12-18 inches of wire after landing fish or trolleys.

Nice video mate.. i fish that area for zed.. started using single circle hooks for zed a few seasons ago.. definitely improved hookup rate.. use them for pike now.. 100% better and kinder to fish.. nets and hands.. tight lines.. 👌

Nicely produced and very helpfull! 🙏

Just subscribed, very informative video. No Zander in my area but they are well worth travelling for. Thanks.

Cracking fish matey. I’ve never had a go at fishing for zander, but I’ve just kitted myself out and I’m putting in some sessions in the coming weeks. You’ve inspired me, great video and some great tips. Keep them coming 🎣

Zander and bleak go together like peas and carrots. Nice video mate, I'll be using some of those tips as Zander are somewhat of an enigma to me.

Great video and tips Keep them coming.

Inspirational video and a fantastic fish to go with it - well done on your PB. I'm going to follow your guidance on my very first target for Zander next week.

Thanks mate and good luck to you, hope you bag a few 🙌

Well done rob cracking zander that 👌

Zander is definitely THE hardest river fish to catch. Mostly because the realization demands, once it comes.

And you can't react on first nibbles, because it is a sure miss. Also, if you let it pull for too long once it starts going away, it's a miss.

Well done buddy. 👏 👏 👏 👏 paid off in the end.

Great video. Just how I fish the Trent for Zander here in Newark!!

That was interesting, really enjoyed that and very informative. Like the idea of the trace, might be an idea to use a titanium lure trace for the uptrace then, i’ll look into that.Tight lines

Great stuff mate. Worth the graft!!

Brilliant video brother.

Feeder lead is a good idea. I usually toss a parcels of filets into water, but this is probably better.

Finner hook observation is also spot on. Only one thing is off, for me. The treble is too much.

Circle hook is no good. Catastrophic.

How do you crimp that top hook the way you did mate great idea that

Mega mate!

Great fish and video, well done.

Mega fish

As you’ve extended the trace with braid won’t it take longer to get a notification on your rod as the fish can swim nearly 2-3 foot in each direction before coming into contact with the lead. With a Small roach and a pike could get deep hooked, have you had many ?

This doesnt happen as the rig is running and not fixed, i dont get any deep hooked fish as i always hit bites straight away as soon as i see indication on the tip.

Bonjour c est qu'elle mondel votre canne merci...

Like it bro .. but no silicone tube on that snap link no ?? Nothing to lock that latch down ??

They're pretty much self-locking, doesnt really need any silicone on but you can do so for piece of mind.

Sound tips.

Thanks for sharing. Great vid.
