Lucky Strike and Match Aerial nice combo. My wallet limited me to a Trudex!

A lovely looking Wey chub! It brings back happy memories of a period 50 odd years ago, when I belonged to a club that had a stretch of the Wey at Elstead. The club was delightfully named 'Knights of the river' and I caught many similar sized chub during some memorable outings at Elstead! :Ok:

Thanks gents.

This was from the north branch of the Wey, about half a mile upstream from Farnham, so a small, snag filled chalk stream.

My Trudex would have usually been matched to the LS, but the Aerial has slightly heavier line on it .
I've had that Trudex for 50 years now!
