buzzbomb Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I was thinking of drilling holes all over a small pill bottle and stringing it on. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Why not just use cage or maggot feeders? jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Wouldn't a maggot feeder or a pill bottle be too big? Sorry for any confusion but I meant something like this B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 In that case You could use a piece of cork, I think you can buy little coils for paste to use with hair rigs. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 You can thank me afterwards https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271211812588 Gives me an idea! Â Fill them with boilie paste, and even roll it outside the cage, and boil as per your boilie mix. Â You then have a crayfish resistant bait. The outer skin may be munched, but the 'liner' is protecting the inner part of the boilie from the little beggars B.C. and jh92 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzbomb Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I find these hair clips in the bar, but they're available everywhere for next to nothing, (she'll never miss it), and as the bait disintegrates it closes on the line. I keep a few of various sizes in my tackle box. David_Ridgers, jh92 and B.C. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianain Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Dare I suggest moulding it on the hook , this time of year it should last quite well and still pull through easily. Â It's not cray proof though jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Used to open up a paperclip, then wrap it around a biro to make a spring type thingie. Used this attached to a hair to mould the paste around. The spring from a clothes peg worked well too lol. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider smaller crayfish will act as groundbait, I don't think a carp will turn its nose up at munching on a few small ones. I have had carp take cray munched baits, I played a carp in November a few years ago that when I checked the bait, the mesh was cut and the pop-up had chunks out of it.

Phil Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I usually feel that Cray's don't tend to hang about if there are feeding carp present. Applies to chub and perch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up using some thin coated garden wire, wrapped it around a baiting needle to make a spring and tied it on a hair. Going to test it out in a minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
