JASON Smith’s decision to prebait a small slack for a week paid off with the capture of this 18lb 6oz Thames barbel.
After making regular casts along the crease line separating the slack from the main flow, the 53-year-old’s Baitrunner reel finally screamed into life nearly five hours into his evening session.
Jason’s new barbel best fell to a 20mm Red Fish Pro boilie wrapped in a matching paste.
