Fresh Fishing Bait Casters In Air Tight 1 Pint Sealed Bag - Lavender Tackle -

Product Information

You can read all about how he came across using casters as hook bait in his fantastic book, Match Fishing with Benny Ashurst, if you can get hold of a copy. An old friend from my youth, Geoff Peet, lent me his copy and more than 30 years later, when we reconnected on Facebook, I reminded him I still had it. Generously he said I could keep it. Thanks, Geoff, that was mighty kind of you, and it’s a book I treasure. Caster Fishing – The “Bible”– still worth reading today! The icing on the cake with the Torrix is that the rod is fully customisable so you can create a build that suits perfectly to your needs and tastes. Draining: Allow the casters to drain in a sieve or riddle to remove excess water, which can cause ice crystals to form during freezing. Unless I am loosefeeding I will mix the hemp and casters together and feed them like this. Because they sink at different speeds, keep them apart if you are loosefeeding. Again casters can be used in a similar way to maggots, either directly on the hook or hair rigged, again commonly done with a bait band. Casters are also great in spod mixes and used in feeder fishing.

If the wind is blowing left to right, or right to left, it will effect your ability to cast and feed accurately, and also drag the float unnaturally across the surface. This is the kiss of death! This allows me to cover a much bigger area than would be the case with a standard short line rig. USE A SOFTER ELASTIC The fish below is a big 3lb-plus hybrid which took between five and 10 minutes to land. These birds think they are speedboats and when you hook one you know about it. Having a sensible elastic and enough of it in your pole top kit will help you to handle such situations. Alan with a big caster caught hybrid over 3lbs.Dabbing: Gently pat the casters dry with kitchen paper, taking care not to apply too much pressure and damage them.

I would say do not put them in water as they will die and then turn sour. You are better off bagging them in airtight bags and letting them have some air for five or ten minutes, once a day, to keep them fresh and alive. A beautiful end result – two pints of perfect home-turned casters. On The Bank – Areas To Fish Not only is the Infinity X45 exceptionally well-made, but it boasts a range of clever features to help it handle big casts with ease. If he’s using a 3AAAfloat, Steve always removes one of the AAAshot prior to plumbing up and replaces it after he’s found the depth.The features of the rod, when paired with the 3.5lb test curve model, really turn this into a long-distance casting machine. So let’s create a basic rig from scratch. As a rule of thumb, a canal rig will incorporate a float with a shotting capacity of anywhere from .1g (3 x 10) to .4g (4 x 14).
