When it comes to barbel fishing, rivers and lakes are definitely the obligatory spots to keep an eye on. In the case of today's video, the protagonists try their hand at catching this fish in the waters of the Tevere River, then in the Italian capital.
A river with a strong character and torrential nature, with fast current and a not simple bottom, as it is rich in stones and branches with high possibilities of grounding.
The Colmic team, made up of great connoisseurs and champions, is ready to test the best equipment expecting great fights, such as barbel fishing usually reserve.
Despite the heavy artillery, however, the first fish to get caught is a chub that is released immediately, but that allows the team to heat up the engines for the catch.
One of the rods put into fishing for the day on Tevere river is a Next Adventure; a rod designed for this type of fishing because, despite being condescending in the fish bites, allows you to fight and retrieve it in the best way even with heavier weights.
Fights that are not to be expected. In fact, the second fish is just a barbel of about a kilogram, so not huge in size, but that excites the team.
The current of Tevere river pushes the protagonists to use feeders heavy enough and therefore suitable for the fishing situation, loaded with a good amount of maggots. The weight used is 100 grams, but will be increased if the current should increase.
Chubs and barbels of larger dimensions continue to eat on the winning baits proposed by the team as they have entered the fishing line created by the protagonists, giving food and continuous fighting.
The Ghepard and the Sniper, the other two rods put into fishing, make a unique show during the entire fishing day. Powerful and leaving no chance of escape for good-sized fish, they have been combined with reels, hooks and wires just as powerful and reliable.
And it is thanks to Ghepard that the team captures the best prey of the day. A perfectly coloured barbel weighing more than three kilograms is proudly displayed in front of the camera's eye and then carefully released into the river waters.
Fishing for barbels and chub also means using a certain type of groundbait. In this case Mito Mix, Sweet Fish Meal and Krill to be mixed taking into account the correct quantities and adapting especially to fishing spots.
A further ally for today's session is the Delta JF seatbox. A comfortable and stable position for a more than safe day's fishing. Being on impervious and unstable ground often happens for fans of fishing from the shore, so this seatbox, with fixed metal feet with an exceptional grip on each bottom, will allow you to fish in peace without taking risks.
The day ends with the latest catches of fairly large barbels that fishermen are keen to catch with landing nets equipped with rubber nets so as not to cause damage to the fish. Spectacular catches but also various, to test the equipment but also to spend a day in a different spot and multiple surprises.
