  1. thats how my mate ash does it, but personally i think there is more residue left by doing it that way, and i wouldnt feel as confident about it staying closed if i was about to pelt it as far as i could.

     

    also did u notice i mentioned about wrapping the pva tape DOWN the knot?

    this gives the bag extra tightness.

     

     

    but each to their own, whatever works for the angler.

  2. im the same mate, i had only used them once before october last year, and that first time i cast in, the bag hit the water, floated on the surface and then floated off depositing baits nowhere near my rig!!

     

    since then, ive practiced a lot, and now i can tie them pretty quick and quite tidy, i use them all the time now, but you are right about hooklinks, they are normally short for bag work. :D

  3. whats your thinking behide such a long hook lenght ,bill :?:

     

    i wouldnt normally use such a long hook length but i know there is a lot of silt on the bottom of the venue i was fishing, and i was thinking once the bag has disolved and got disturbed the balanced bait could settle on the silt rather than in it. i would usually use a shorter, uncoated hooklength though.

     

    the bailiff also told us thaton a clear bottom the fish in there will sit on your lead and eat around it ignoring all the baits close in.

     

    this time however i caught on both short and long. :D

  4. hi guys, i use a lot of starbaits tackle and ive had no problems with it at all, i know its a big company in france and i was just wondering if anyone else uses it and what they think of it?

     

    thanks in advance, bill
