I have been a Match angler for years and just about give it up due to
my age 68. I have been doing some Chub fishing on the Gt.Ouse nr

problem I am having is I keep breaking off, I have had Chub to 4lb 6oz
on this line but I am not happy with the line. So what I need to know
is what make of line is best and what B/S should I use and should I
use a hook length (if so what B/S) or direct.

Is this on the strike?

Where are the breaks - at the hook or up the line?

....and are you sure these are chub break-offs and not jacks grabbing and
biting off larger baits/lures?

I generally use the cheapest bulk line in the shop and depending on
conditions at this time of year it's 4 - 6lb bs straight through.

Cheerio,
