    Making your own bait.

    Same here. If I could id have all mine made in cubes, I roll my own in dumbbells due to time but all my hookbaits are made by hand into little square and brick shapes. Surely this helps them not roll around on the river bed. Also, how many people are using square baits? Maybe being a little...

    1st Barbel of the 2024

    Ive had 2 shirt sessions on the middle Severn around ironbridge. 1 a few hours mid day and a few hours Sunday night. Both resulting in blanks but had to try my luck. Hopefully the weather picks up and I can get 1 before the end of the season 🤞
