The mullet should be handy enough ,I'll maybe try 20lb braid on my 3 1/2 lb pike rod baited up with a size 1/0 hook and belfast bap to see just how the fight compares to other fish :lol:

Its been a while but I have a Drennan Tench float rod with a stradic 4000 loaded with 4lb flouro, what I can't seem to get my hands on is the weighted floats you used to get, can't recall their names but they were clear, red tipped and torpedo shaped (well sort of).

Controller floats? Try "Trap and Tackle" in Bangor (02891 458515) as I have seen them there.
