Bait screws?

Richard Isaacs said:
Not sure I get the logic that we can leave these things in the river…I don’t use them so maybe I’m getting this wrong but in my mind if the screw is tied to the hair or hook then that’s more secure than any bait stop threaded through a loop surely?

Yes, logic would suggest that's the case, Rich 👍

Fair enough, Chris 😁
Are you using the one I've linked? I've not had any problem with bait coming off - even meat.

I've dabbled in the past - the longer bank tackle ones seem to be the screw of choice for most - I've just had bad experiences (carp fishing) on long chucks so don't have confidence - can totally understand the convenience factor and with a readymade boilie, minimal issues

Completely agree that casting a distance must raise the odds of a potential bait fly-off. I usually underarm cast, so it's unlikely to happen to me.
