Tiny bait just the trick for a big crucian

 A TINY dumbell wafter hookbait has accounted for one of the biggest reported crucians of the season. 

The fine fish weighed 4lb 2oz and fell to the rod of appropriately named Jason Rodd, who travelled 160 miles from his Staffordshire home to target Surrey’s prolific Johnson’s Lake.

He told us:

“I struck and connected with a decent fish which fought doggedly. It had such a huge frame – heaven knows what it would have weighed had it been full of spawn.”
