Combi-Links

I decided to write this piece about one of the presentations I have been using to good effect this season.  I would recommend the use of this on firm bottoms such as and gravel, light silt and sparse , but not fished in thick or heavy silt as I feel the may sit up off the bottom awkwardly.

Just recently I have started using a lot more combi-link rigs again, and for the life of me I can’t remember why I stopped using them in the first place, perhaps the introduction of the coated braids maybe played a part in this. With a lot of anglers switching to combi-rigs made by simply stripping off the braid I think I may have been a little paranoid that the would suss it out and my results would suffer.

I used them almost all the time in the late nineties and I guess I must have either moved onto a venue that I found an alternative more productive, or as I said, become paranoid about their effectiveness with so many other anglers now using a similar type of presentation. Anyway I have been using them quite a lot again this year on a couple of venues and have tweaked them to suit my requirements really well. (more…)
