Still Water Waggler

Still Water Waggler

Bob Roberts’ roots lie in match fishing, where he gained a reputation as a hard man to beat on any method or venue.

Like many before him Bob was drawn into team fishing and in just three glittering seasons he collected two National Championship gold medals, a Regional silver, and both gold and bronze in the prestigious Stainforth Canal Team Championships.

In this superbly entertaining film Bob employs the basic skills of close range wagglier fishing to catch small fish on maggots.

He then changes venue and employs ground bait tactics to catch bream and tench at long range before turning his attention to carp.

In the final two sequences Bob shows how the techniques learnt earlier can be fine-tuned to catch small carp, and then by stepping up the tackle used to catch carp into double figures.

In order to help other anglers better relate to the techniques shown, Bob insisted that this video was filmed on day ticket waters, available to any angler wishing to fish there.
