Oops, misunderstood the thread title

Stick the handle of your forceps into a can of meat, pull back towards you; you will have a 20 ish mm lump of meat with a flat side. Start another thread asking how to present it/ keep it on the hair and away you go.

 

[Colin Bridger]

Break off a piece of meat to match the size of hook, pass a stringer needle through the meat, put the swivel of the hook link on the hook of the needle, and pull back through the meat. If required put a piece of grass in the bend of the hook as it is pulled in to the meat. Attach swivel of the hook link to a quick clip. Job done.

Open the tin, cut into slices and use a meat punch. Hair rig and away you go

Break up the leftovers and add it to your free offerings.

 

[Lee Tebble]

Cut into matchbox sized lumps, coat in curry powder and freeze..
Either hair rig using a small twig as a stop or push a size four through it twist 90 degrees and sit the meat on the hookbend with the point flush but exposed on the side of the lump - pick with thumb to take off the edges - job done

There are definitely drawbacks to answering that rather penetrating question lee....things come to the fore, testy hangups which, on the whole, prevent many entering fully into things, or causing others to pull out at the last minute.

Working on it yourself is often the best way of producing a solution.

Cheers, Dave.

Hi David, I'm starting to see a common thread in some of your responses! Very witty, though.
