SAFE RIG
My safe, camouflaged running rig for big-river barbel minimises tangles when casting, as the buffer bead and anti-tangle sleeve kick the hooklength slightly away from the feeder and mainline. A quick-change swivel lets me switch hooklengths very easily by sliding off the Anti-Tangle Sleeve. That way I can experiment with different lengths of hooklength, hookbaits and size of hook. Prepare several hooklengths beforehand to maximise fishing time.
