I've just finished watching on YouTube Mark Pollards recent offering fishing Old Nene at March comparing 30 minutes on the whip versus 30 minutes short lining on the pole, there are some irrelevances ie if the fish feed better in the first thirty, or second, or a predator arrives etc, but anyway, I was quite shocked when Mark talked on his tackle and made the statement that he was fishing a size 16 hook for roach whilst fishing double fluoro pinkie, this seemed quite big for roach up to 8ozs, whilst fishing 0.10mm hooklength, when we used to fish double squat or single pinkie we used to use size 26 gamakatsu fine wire hooks that were proper 26's, unlike today's larger offerings, all the talk of fishing fine these days for silvers seems a bit of tongue in cheek on that showing...
