What suntan cream

[Robin Bowes]

I read somewhere that politicians were honest, well meaning people with our interests at heart

If you want to believe everything you read, then go ahead and smear sun cream on your bait and dip them in WD40. Me? I will just carry on being scrupulous about not tainting my bait, and carry on catching barbel

It may well be that such things do not make any real difference...but the confidence they give you for so little effort is absolutely priceless

Barbel are not hard to catch, if you can find them.

They will not be put off by a smear of sun cream.

Sometimes you guys just seem to make things unnecessarily hard!

Rich,

I have a medical condition for which I have to take some fairly powerful drugs. The side effect of one of those drugs is hypersensitivity to sunlight meaning I burn easily, the suggestions made in this thread may or may not be useful, (the p20 looks promising).

Back in the dark ages WD40 was alleged to contain a large proportion of whale oil along with solvents and propellants, sea anglers would use the lubricant as a water displacer on their reels and lures and the myth of it being an attractant was born, obviously the formula has changed but the myth remains.

PS, Rich, If you want answers for your cosmetic problems can I suggest you ask on here http://www.mumsnet.com/

Horse flies?...HA..Noooo probs...smear them with sun cream and then dunk 'em in WD40...that stops the little gits in their tracks Not only that, you can then use them as an apparently irresistible bait....sorted

Cheers, Dave.
