30lb Common For Rob Shanks

After taking some time off to spend with the kids over half term my wife was kind enough to give me the green light for a few days on the bank. After pre-baiting with a mixture of Sticky baits Vortex Boilies and pellets I was rewarded only a few hours into my trip with an ancient common of 30.04lb. Over the next 24 hours I managed another two commons, of 14.04lb & 16.06lb. All fish where taken on hinge stiff rigs constructed with a variety of products from Fox Internationals range of “edges” terminal tackle.
