for roach fishing or gudgeon. ie small fish.........20 22

thanks alot larry

If you go in the tackle shop they will sell you a canal rig ready made.
See how its made up and then you can start making your own as Larry said size 20/22 hooks ideal.
All I would put to the baits list is an hadfull of mixed maggots.




Its easier this way mate you should get a few answers

Larry Teepot

pop into your local shop as ridgecare said above, find out what your liable to catch and in what areas. You dont wanna go set up for small fish if your gonna hook lumps and vice versa.
