Famous Linear fish captured on film. Danny Macdivitt has this week landed the famous Jordan from Linear Fisheries Hardwick Lake- and captured the whole thing on film!Dan Pre-baited a margin spot with Hinders Little Gemz Pellets & Pellet Combo, both soaked in Salmon Pro Liquid, mixed with a few chopped Mainline Cell Boilies which he fed by hand. He fished a small solid PVA bag filled with the same Free offerings, with a single Cell boilie on the hair. The fish set a new PB for Dan, weighing in at 32lb 3oz.

The addition of a coloured topper to a hook bait is undoubtedly effective and these stops from Avid combine that with the hair stop. I only started using them when Avid produced the buoyant version. If I have a ‘sighter’ on the bait then I want it sat proud so that the carp can actually see it!The large versions are ideal for tipping a trimmed, barrel-shaped hook bait; something that I use a lot inside bags. So far they’ve worked, particularly the yellow ones, and I like the fact that they sit nice and flush with the baits once the small ‘hook’ is drawn inside.

Designed to be true all-rounders, I can confirm that they are exactly this, and brilliant at it too. I’ve been using the 2. 75lb versions and, excluding fishing at 100 yards plus, I can’t think of any reason why I would not continue to do so. The progressive, through action is right up my street and it makes for an exhilarating fight every time a carp is hooked.
