How to practice Roubaix fishing?
If you are already familiar with the technique of blow fishing, it will be easier for you to quickly grasp the principle and excel in the art of Roubaix fishing. For this fishing technique, we generally use a long rigid rod inside which we place a shock absorber elastic. A solution that avoids breaking the line when the fish struggles after biting the hook. In short, this technique consists of a fine fishing with a strong line to get more hits, a configuration that is particularly suitable for controlling large fish.
What equipment is used for Roubaix fishing?
With regard to the basic equipment adapted to this technique, Roubaix fishermen use a rod with a nesting length between 11.5 m (for competitions) and 13 m (maximum length), and a shock absorber or Roubasian elastic with a silicone coating to ensure better glide. Some accessories will be essential for the assembly of the elastic: metal or teflon socket (end cap), Roubasian ladder, cone, fixed line, steel needle. A rubber band not exceeding one meter is suitable for fishing white fish such as bream or roach. To control more powerful fish such as carp, the use of a longer elastic band is recommended.

Roubaix fishing is particularly effective in catching suspicious fish from canals and ponds. However, be aware that you can use this technique to fish in any type of fresh water. To do this, you just need to make a few modifications to the lines so that they are adapted to the current and depth of the water.
