GOLF ball-sized PVA bags of micro pellets and regular casting was the winning combination to bag this 19lb barbel for Mark Roberts.
The Stockport-based species enthusiast arrived at the River Trent to find it running unfavourably clear, but by using refined feeding tactics and single boilie hookbaits, he managed to tempt his new personal best alongside another superb specimen weighing 15lb 13oz.
