It fascinates me as to what B+J on the cut means to different people in different areas of the country.
Our lot dump plenty of bait on one or two lines (6m and 13m), with a keepnet line and a chub line (16m) as back up. Getting the intial feed right is crucial and many good anglers are guessing, whereas the big boys have their mixes absolutely spot. They also seem to know what to top up with.
I think the most joker lines I've ever fed is 4 on the chesterfield canal but can remember an article on the Bridgy, where Colin Mayor fed so many lines it would have confused the hell out of me. I think Scotthorne fished the Sheffield canal in a similar way.
I quite enjoy going down to Thorne and watching as to how the proper anglers do it. Roll on the cold weather!
