Solar team member Dale Turner’s landed one of his two target fish, a mid 30lb common known as Split Tale, as part of a 4-fish haul from his Essex syndicate water. Using a small piece of black foam presented with a size 8 Solar Wide Gape hook, Dale enjoyed some of the best fishing he’s had for years, as the East Sussex-based angler explains:
“I got to the lake at around 5. 30pm straight from work at the Solar Tackle factory. I’d fished an overnighter on the water the week previous and lost a good fish at the net, so I knew the area that I wanted to be in.
DAY THREE: Win 10 metres of Submerge Leadless Leader in green and brown worth £22If you’re looking to keep your end tackle pinned firmly to the lake bed, and want to keep it all out of the carp’s sight then this 10 metres of Submerge Leadless Leader is going to be right up your street. . . .
