These silver big fish are famous for being greedy as well as being one species that will feed regardless of the weather. Generally, a Chub bite is very fast and rapid, as they are likely to snaffle the bait very quickly. It's likely that chub will drag your bait and terminal tackle into a rather snaggy area. Chub can certainly pull a rod full tilt and demand your attention immediately. By using a longer rod, you can lever fish away from snags, whether they are on the river, or marginal snags. Chub are perhaps the most easily spooked fish in a river, so when fishing for Chub, approach your quarry silently and keep well out of line of sight. It is also wise to tread lightly on the bank and use strong hooks as chub can pull your line and will quite easily straighten fine wire match hooks when fighting!
