A few weeks ago I had a session using unflavoured maggots and had a bite every cast, usually within 20 seconds of casting in, and I subsequently landed several of the biggest lumps I have ever seen....some quite possibly river records
Sadly, they were all crayfish
Does anyone now of a flavour that barbel love, but which these little monsters hate?
If you do....patent it now (after you have PM'd it to me of course) you won't need to win the lottery then
Of course, if a certain person who catches monster barbel on the pin, seemingly at will, had shown me how to do it, I might have the confidence to try that method, thuss avoiding the little barstewards
Cheers, Dave.
They will happily take a trotted moving bait too Dave, pretty good swimmers the little buggers!!!
I have noticed from piking that they don't like lamprey, maybe a very strong lamprey type flavour??
