Pom with a 27lb Mirror off the surface on Ben’s Pool on his Candle Controller

Well, the proof is in the pudding: after going through the candle rig on my Live Feed I popped onto Ben’s Pool at Ashmansworthy Pools just as the light was fading.

Cast out my Jungle Paste coated cork ball and candle controller and out of the blue I had a massive take resulting in this lovely 27lb Mirror.

Exhilarating fun on my barbel rod, towed me all around the lake and, I have to confess, it was a tad nerve wrecking!
