salokcinnodrog 2,192 Report post Posted November 20, 2016 Thanks guys!! Warm welcome indeed!! Go on then, 10lb ghost common is my pb but I've also caught about 50+ 9lbers haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 10lb is a good fish And right now a 10lb carp would do me lovely. I sometimes think too many anglers go for too big a fish too quickly, without learning about what they are fishing for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyborx 1,850 Report post Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) As above, ruddy goldfish. to be honest old buddy Ghosties are just a variation of the Koi strain and they themselves are just like leneys, leathers, galician and royals a variation of the original prehistoric strain. oh and just a little enlightenment for those of you that thing that dave lane gave his name to the leney strain, they were actually bred by a fish farmer called Donald Leney in the 1920s so, sorry mr lane Edited November 20, 2016 by cyborx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cloud9 307 Report post Posted November 20, 2016 in my limited experience ghosties give you a great run for your money , they seem to give a much more spirited (no pun intended ) fight for their size dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
