i recenly fished makins specimen lake on phase one and had a little wager with a pal who would bag up so i planned to fish particle baits on the method while my other rod was set up for carp on a alarm although this rod produced the only 2 fish of the day i was dissoipointed that i only had 5/6 bites all day on my feeder rod and under pressure i tied up 3 yes 3 6 inch hook lengths do you think this is why it produced no fish
