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

Product Information

When rivers are low and clear and the chub and barbel play hard to get there’s one fishing bait that I keep up my sleeve. The classic combination of hemp and casters can send even the most wary river fish loopy, and with practice you can work them up into a feeding frenzy. The key to this style of fishing is to be confident in what you are doing… KEEP THE COST DOWN They were told three fish would attain a qualifying spot... Using casters the pair managed 15 bites!”

The finished rig will comprise a spread bulk with two-millimetre gaps between the styls in the spread bulk, plus three or four half number 14 styls spread equidistantly from the spread bulk down to the hooklength loop.Single or double maggot or casters are superb waggler baits because they fall slowly and enticingly through the water, aided only by two No8 dropper shot. Casters are the next stage in the life cycle of a maggot. They are the chrysalis of a maggot – a shell-like pupae that contains the soon-to-emerge fly. Hooklength material is a personal choice and while I use some line that you cannot buy any more – the modern-day choices for me would include Drennan Supplex, Preston Precision Power and Colmic Stream. They are all accurate, diameter-wise, and all are strong, durable and reliable. Old line, new line: Alan’s favourites for caster fishing. Elastication

Draining: Allow the casters to drain in a sieve or riddle to remove excess water, which can cause ice crystals to form during freezing. Now it is time to give those caster maggots a “drink” of water. I add half a pint of water into the container which now contains the maggots and the sawdust, pouring it all down one hole in the centre of the container. Maggots can also be dispersed on the lakebed by using PVA bags. This would be ideal for carp fishing. The Korda funnel web system would be good for this along with the funnel web PVA refills also by Korda. To get a pint of casters you will need perhaps a pint and a half of best quality large white maggots. Once there are signs that the first of the maggots are beginning to turn into pale coloured casters, put them through a maggot riddle. The live maggots will crawl through but the casters will not. Remove any dead maggot skins at this stage. Repeat this process two or three times each day, removing the casters to the fridge each time. They are then best stored in a plastic bag with damp kitchen towel to avoid bag burn. History of the caster Harrison is a brand known for using top-of-the-line materials, and this certainly shows in the rod’s performance. It sports a set of very high quality guides, available in both 40 and 50mm offerings; the 50mm guides are especially suitable for distance fishing, and they also do an excellent job of eliminating line frap, which is a massive help, too.Keep running the bait until it starts to get lazy. From four pints you should get a good three pints of top-quality casters. That's why they are more expensive than maggots! You should keep your fresh casters covered with damp kitchen paper in a Tupperware-type box, in the fridge. Another nice edge to casters over maggots is that they don’t crawl away and bury themselves in the silt like a maggot can. The only slight disadvantage is that all fish love them, especially bream, tench and big roach. If there are large numbers of nuisance species in the lake, chances are that unfortunately the casters will be snaffled up before Mr. Carp gets a sniff, concludes Kev.” Reel lines can become greasy, especially on waters where a lot of meat is fed regularly, making them very hard to sink. In this case, Steve carries a tiny bottle The Japanese shrink grip handle feels incredibly comfortable and natural in the hand; I found that this made the cast itself feel more ergonomic and smoother, which definitely helped me maintain proper casting technique (or nearest damn it for me!). If you have been put off from freezing casters then you could keep them in the cold fridge. I have a small bait fridge in the garage which is perfect for this as they can become a bit smelly (just like any fishing bait).

The blank also provides plenty of power with minimal input, which makes pulling off longer casts feel effortless, rather than being a struggle. And when you do get a bite, be patient and try to count to three before lifting to strike. Bites are generally missed by striking too early. Count to three, and you’ll hook more than you will miss.I opt for the 13-foot and 3.75lb test curve model when distance fishing and am always blown away by how much power the blank offers.
