Superb slab falls to snails

BEN Hayes used hemp and snails on his latest bream session to bank this 15lb 2oz specimen.

The 21-year-old baited a silty gully on his local gravel pit with the combo, along with pellets, to try and draw in a few fish.

Over the feed he presented two pieces of fake corn and shortly after midnight the rod ripped off – resulting in Ben’s new personal best for the species.
