hello mate, i dont know what you know about the place but jimmy has two sets of rules, one for summer, one for winter. this time of year a straight lead can be used (no feeders) and you can use pole cups (banned in winter). you can use meat on the hook but not feed it. only other baits you can use are maggot, caster, worm and corn. i fished the smaller pool several times last year and they were the rules the last time i went in august. theres a massive rules board when you go in on the right. i nearly forgot to say that he bans hair rigs. the pools are good and a good weight is needed even in the coldest weather.
