Richard O’Connor’s Gloucester Canal Bream

England international Richard O’Connor got amongst the bream on a recent visit to the Gloucester Canal.  The Drennan-backed former Six Nations Champion fished eight inches overdepth with multiple bloodworm hookbaits on a size 16 Polemaster Competition hook to a 0.10mm (1lb 14oz) Double Strength hooklength and a no6 to 8 Hollow Core Bungee elastic.  Richard fished his Drennan Zircon pole at 13metres with a 2grm float held hard back in the flow and had fish to 5lb. The Polemaster Competition hook was the no1 choice of hook for anglers like Stu Conroy & Alan Scotthorne for skimmers and Bream at last years World Champs in Italy.  This brilliant photo comes courtesy of Stu Conroy!
