    i was pike fishing the last two sundays and caught nothing on each occassion but i hooked and lost a fish of about 8-9lb in weight. conditions didnt suit as the river was rising rapidly and was turning the flood colour but as soon as it starts to go down again,ill be wetting a line!!

    Lost a monster after a 25min battle 2 weeks ago on Lough Cutra in Gort. Never seen her, she was completely in control.
    Investing in some braid on Saturday, I am fishing Cullaun lake (East Clare) on Sunday and do not want it to happen again.

    Well I got the braid (Spiderwire) and oh what a difference. Lost 1 small pidedler but landed a fish of 4lb 8oz and i never felt anything like it. I felt every move the fish made - I can't wait untill I hit a "double" with it.

    I have to say that the braid was a fine investment. I could actually feel when the bait was not doing it's thing under the water after touched a weed or something.
