Thank you to Mario Edoardo Tomatis from Italy for this great photo of an Italian Barbel!

Mario fished the River Po near the city of Cremona and used a Matchpro Ultralight 15ft rod and FD 4000 reel to fish a 2½ Swan Bobber float with maggots as hookbait.

“The reel was the Drennan FD4000 – a fantastic reel !!!!” Mario commented.
