LoL. Mate, if British rail were still around i know a few commuters who would be very happy.

Just PM me if you think of anything.

Anything in that line you want sent out, let me know. As long as it is not too heavy I dont mind.

In fact, I was clearing out some one of my sheds at the weekend and came accross a load of course tackle I had forgotten all about. Among it are some drennan bung type floats and quite a few wagglers. If you want to Pm me an addy, I could post em out to you as an early xmas presy.

Whenever there's a kingie sniffing around shoby!.

I did the polyball thing in Britain a few times Penguin but did'nt really enjoy that way of fishing, Pike fishing was all about Drennan pike bungs for me mate. Nothing beats the sight of a Bung dissapearing down the water, you know what I mean Penguin. My mom is visiting me Christmas my requests include Drennan loaded crystal waggler's to catch piper and Drennan Pike Bungs to put them under, should work a treat hopefully.

Sounds like a pretty good idea Muppet. I tried a similar tactic with Rudd livies for Pike a few years back. They were just to lively though and couldnt get them to stay attached for long.

The other trick that can work a treat, is using poly. balls to keep a bait suspended. This works best when bottom fishing, and you want to make the bait stand up of bottom. You simply balance the size of bait to the size of poly ball (or a piece of cork), till it just sits up without floating to the surface.

Penguin I reckon some of the rigs used in britain are overkill to say the least. The best baits are the ones with no weight on them at all, freelining or floating. I used to pole fish in britan with no float and just drop a hooked bait in amongst loose feed, worked a treat. But its up to the individual fisherman eh its his choice on how he goes about it.
