Chernobyl ant [line twist]

[lnelson20]

Over the last couple of week's i have been fishing the Chernobyl ant's for loch broonie's with some success,but the line twist is a major pain in the backside,anyone any ideas how to solve this problem.Any suggestion's appreciated.

All the best

Cheer's Steve,that was my first thought,the change from 4lb to 6lb has made a little differance but not a lot,very frustrating.My thoughts are if i tuck and tye the foam down at each end it may improve this problem,and make little differance to the pattern itself,i will certainly give it a whirl this weekend and see how it goes.

All the best Steve.

You are on the right lines Chris. It is a combination of stiffer tippet (try fluorocarbon) and a less air resistant profile.

Why not add a long wing of anything you fancy? It will have a stabililising effect like the tail on an aeroplane does and will help the beast fly on a level plane.

Chernobyl ants are a bastard to cast anyway. Why not have a go with Turck's Tarantula? A far more user-friendly pattern

It's a funny thing Alex,i have been interested in this pattern since the first time you mentioned it here on the forum.The loch's i am fishing at the moment are not the most fertile and the fish are usually looking up for there next meal,the ant are moving them from nowhere,fun fishing at it's best I will take on board your suggestion's and add a wing and tye some of those taranchala's,thank's for your comment's.

All the best

Chris.
