Snails

[jh92]

There's a lot of snails on the canal at the moment and the fish seem to be hoovering them up and avoiding bait lol. Any suggestions on how I can catch a couple of them for bait, like some sort of snail trap?

I've been on the Creamino for the last few years and I don't know if it's co-incidence but I've had my best 2 seasons since.

Yes mate I've already got myself a tin 👍 I want a couple from my canal that I can drill and rig 👍 I'm gonna get the waders on for next session and pick a couple from the banks and see what happens 👍🤣

Fake ones? 

 

Real ones for a spod mix 🤔

Also don't dynamite cook their hemp in the tins? Does that mean they are unaliving snails in the tin too? 😱

There you go with a little Google I found the mother load.

CC Moore do some small ones, which are friend had some success with, but nothing like the bad boys @elmoputney found.

I've tried hair rigging slugs before but they didn't stay on long.

I'd be interested to know how you get on @jh92,so do keep us posted mate?

Anyone else thinking how much of an edge those snails could be?

Well I've been out and got around 100 snails, got a special mix on the go in the bucket 😏 tedious picking in the waders 💪🤣

 

I'm off to the canal tomorrow morning for a night or two. Both rods are gonna go on snails. I will update how I get on 👍

That's some serious next level determination, hope your effort pays off.
