Thank you to Danny Caen from Crewe, in Cheshire for sending us this photo of a recent 10lb 2oz River Dane Barbel.

The Barbel took a Bait-tech Hybrid Barbel hook bait, fished over a handful of hemp and 4mm Richworth Xtracta pellets. Danny presented his bait on a size 8 Specimen hook to a Drennan Gravel Braid hooklength, to 10lb ESP Crystal mainline.
