The rule that a hooklength of 1lb less than the main line for all methods of fishing, be it float, feeder or pole, was introduced with the 2022 reprinting of the rule book, which all members received as part of this year’s membership pack. However, bailiffs continue to observe members disregarding this rule.
Until now, bailiffs have been educating members rather than taking a ‘heavy-handed’ approach, but this practice can no longer be accepted and, as such, will be dealt with in the same manner as any other breach of TDAS rules.
TDAS rules apply to members and guests for which members are responsible. If you have lost your copy of the rule book a .pdf version is available for download from the website.
