Lidl garlic sausage

keep hearing people mentioning using 1/2 a tin as one bait!! šŸ¤Ŗ are you REALLY using baits that big??? I usually use a 1ā€ square piece on a hair or a 3/4ā€ punch to cut out a (round) piece about 1ā€ longā€¦ā€¦šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

I normally use the 250 gram tins and get 3 pieces out of it. Sometimes I cut it other times Iā€™ll tear it off. With the 200 gram tins of spam Iā€™ll more than often just spit it down the middle and have 2 pieces
 
Honestly cannot believe you guys can sit there using this as bait without scoffing it yourselfā€¦.think I would be ā€œone for the fish, two for meā€ šŸ˜‚
That was certainly me with the black pepper spam Alan. Iā€™ve not even been tempted by garlic spam šŸ¤£
 
Wow! I would never think of using such a lump! Iā€™ll give it a go! šŸ‘

You might find this thread interesting

 
As I pointed out in the above linked thread, 99% of Barbel anglers will dismiss the big meat method, which suits me fine.

Having been put onto the method by a mate, and having read Lawrenceā€™s original writings on the subject, Iā€™ve spent a huge amount of time perfecting/tweaking it, to my own liking.

Itā€™s my preferred method for catching Barbel on the Centrepin and itā€™s totally addictive!

You wonā€™t bag up, but it does produce good sized Barbel šŸ‘šŸ¼
 
As Neil says you wonā€™t bag up as the aim is to target the bigger fish but youā€™d be surprised how small some of the fish are you catch. Obviously if your baits been out a while and been getting pecked away at by the small fish it will eventually become small enough for small barbel to fit in their mouth but occasionally youā€™ll get a bite quickly and the only explanation is that itā€™s bit the meat exactly where the hook is. Normally though it will be a decent fish you catch

A 8lb fish scoffed the larger piece of meat after smaller samples were getting smashed by chub and not being able to have a bait in the water for sufficient time for the barbel to get to it first šŸ˜‰
