Get a drill bait needle, drill a hole into the boilie rather than just pushing your bait needle straight through.

Thank you all for your replies - really helpful for my decision! I think the quality, size, future proofing and value for money the Fox EOS 10000FD are unrivalled. Now it’s finding what 12lb line to go for. I feel like most will be of a similar quality and it’s mainly personal preference. Any recommendations of course. 😊

I would just use a bait screw, makes life so much simpler 👍

Those swivels look a bit large for hookring swivels, are you using floss and a fine baiting needle to thread the baits on or are you just pushing them on to the swivel ? The baits are designed for use just out of the bag, i dont use sticky baits but if remember correctly there are a touch on the soft side (not a bad thing i prefer a softer bait), but if your mounting on a swivel/bait screw might be worth looking at the accompanying hard hookbaits that match.

I think the remote will probably be the better option after having a look, im going to have a good mess about with it over the next few weeks and see what quality of picture I get. I may even think about selling it and buying a new one if they don’t turn out so well. Do you know any good value cameras mate? I’m pretty new to the photography thing.

Bait drills are a very underused bit of kit. I used to use large trout pellets on the hair and as long as you were patient and gentle, it worked fine (any rejects were used as loose feed!). Also by drilling a boilie through, you increase it's attraction as water can permeate it easier then a "skinned" boilie.

As the rest of the guys here have said look on you tube. Start basic it will come the main thing is you enjoy being there

I’ve just downloaded this on my iPhone, it should make things easier, with a bit of practice.

Hi Nube, These certain Baits are shelf life, they will quite sofr, also 12mm on a swivel, I would personal think they will split, I use Bait screws for all my Baits, Pop Ups, wafter, bottom Baits... If ure using 12mm, a thin needle for a hair rig or bait screws would be best. I use the Manilla and keep mine stored in the bag they come in... No air drying or nothing.
