The embarrassingly long blank is broken. Felt very good to get a bend in the rod after so long although did struggle to keep much spam on the hair, then hook. I've got those spam bait stops but don't rate them too much. If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears.
I did resort to this in the end, always nice when you can use something for free rather than buy something 'specialist' from the tackle shop. Not sure if my swim was full of smaller fish who kept pecking at my bait.
