Pictured here is the mighty Two Scale Split Fin, which is one of the original A team from Lake Juvanzé, France. At 52lb 14oz, this monster was taken on a blow-back rig, size 6 barbless, with a critically balanced Entity barrelthat was shaved down. This was fished over hemp, tigers and a large spread of Entity boilies, which was topped up daily. This trip was my first in France and I finished the session with three lost fish and three landed, that consisted of a 27lb 7oz common, 33lb 8oz mirror and the big one.
