Dog biscuits

[Alistair Findlay]

I seem to remember that one of the French-based members mentioned using these for both hook and ground baits.

Has anyone had experience of this?

I do know that some of the softer dog treats I give my Jack Russell smell very similar to the baits I use for barbel.
I’ve often thought that the long meaty strips would be ideal cut down and hair rigged.Just never got around to trying them.
They would work I’m sure. Easier to hook than hard biscuits as well.

I've had carp many years ago on dog biscuits. Winalot I think.

Chum Mixers on the top for me years ago.

Frolicks are the dog's danglies. There are two sizes and two flavours. The smaller size last a lot longer on the hook and the red ones seem to be preferred to the brown ones. To put them on a latex band you break a little segment out to make a C shape and thread the band on. For larger fish put two on back to back or on two bands.

If you break them up into thirds or quarters you can use them for roach and crucians. Parisian anglers use 6 large Frolics to catch 2 metre catfish frrom the city stretch of the Seine.

Cheap too.

Are you allowed to use the word " Frolicks" on this forum before 9pm ?

Wow

I paid less than €5 for the last bag. They are good, but not at that price.

Still less than €5 if you buy from Spin, but the shipping cost is way too expensive.

The link actually says:

This product has been discontinued. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.​

That’s why so expensive now I guess?

 

[Clive Kenyon]

Seems they have discontinued them in the UK. All the supermarkets are out of stock.

I think the reason they are so good are the taste enhancers that pet food companies use. There might be something similar in the shops.
