size 18 hook, 2.2lb breaking strain trace. light shotting pattern, self cocking waggler, plumb the depth before but ive fished here before i know its about 5ft. hand full of hemp, a ball of ground bait laced with more casters. gentle under arm cast, its not far and those trees are close. wait, anticipation, is that a tench, those bubbles look familiar. hang on the floats knocked, somethings interested, pick up the rod, gently slowly wait for the next knock, strike! its small and easy to wind in, gudgeon.... not the tench. Lets try again.
