Look at the gob on that Chub! This excellent photo by Paul Elt of one of his recent Ivel Chub in the Snow illustrates the remarkable capacity of a big Chub’s mouth – in this case a fish of just over 5lb.
Paul caught the Chub whilst trotting with a Matchpro Float 14ft rod, teamed with FD 3000 reel and 4.2lb Floatfish line. At the business end he used a Crystal Avon float to suspend a Red Maggot hook baited with grubs heavily flavoured with Dynamite Baits Redfish.
