The idea of at least having a fake caster on the hook if the real ones were getting hammered was my way of thinking. I've had some great pointers here, thanks guys.

What size hook? Was thinking 14/16, sound right?

Was thinking of trying something a bit different and trying a hemp and caster approach. My thoughts are on bait presentation. Would I be better to: A) Mount Caster directly on the hook? B) Put a fake caster on a hair and superglue the real ones to it? Or C) use a fine wire hook on a hair...

Maxima Chameleon does sink like a stone. Certainly best feeder line I have used. Landed double figure barbel on 6lb BS (not suggesting everyone does that) but very abrasion resistant too. Yes I have tried the others and Daiwa Sensor is tough as old boots too and good value to come a close...

Can't speak about the Gardner but the Drennan Twistlocks are hard as nails and being long and extendable great when you're on a high bank.

Thanks for the advice. I've used all 3 and can't see if one scores over the other. Years ago it was 6lb Maxima straight through to a size 14 with 3 maggots on the hook and this worked a treat for the middle Severn for fish in the 4-6lb class but average sizes are up.

I'm sure I'm not the first person on here to ask this. I hear and read so many conflicting statements. What works best? Braid, Flourocarbon or Plain Mono?
