Are the canned meatballs firm enough to withstand a cast ok?

Yes they stay on well hooked directly, I put a piece of grass in the bend of the hook sometimes if they feel a little soft

Got a blank look when I asked for garlic sausage and bacon grill in Lidl, Cheltenham, yesterday.

Then spent about £70.00 in AD on bait, additives (yes, I'm a fool) and PVA, and went for an impromptu session, catching a barbel of about 8-9lbs on........ maggots. (And the bite was only a twitch.)

I'm a barbel novice - and over the moon when the dorsal fin of any size of barbel breaks the surface - but I'm bemused by the idea of spending all that money, then having one fall to the humble maggot. Therein lies the fun... I think the barbel know what we're up to.

Don't waste your time with Fray Bentos meat balls, much too soft for fishing

I find them to be ok straight from the tin directly hooked on a size 4, they toughen up a little once they’ve been frozen, I wouldn’t no wether they’d hair rig though?

I would advise not to but the Tiger brand luncheon meat [ Tesco stock it], it looks and smells great but it is very soft and doesn't stay on the hook even with the gentlest of lobs . Tried frying it to toughen it up , still not up to the job

Avoid Ikea meatballs - the buggers float!
