When I started fishing from that camp almost everybody used soft baits ( Gulp) as the then manager really promoted it. Over the years the regulars have changed back to bait and berley and the shop hardly sells any soft baits now. Some use squid or other bait on a softbait hook and do quite well. This goes to show that fish know better. Have you ever wondered just how many fish actually swim up to one's softbait and don't bite it? If you want to find out just put a piece of squid on the softbaited hook and compare the hits with a plain softy without that squid. It is an eye opener to those who really want to "see". Rainbow |
