Certainly worth having a look in the FAQ
 Personally I'll be fishing paste from now on, not necessarily sweet though, probably still fishy and wrapped round a boilie. Must try meatballs properly this season as well.... cheers, Andy F |

Evening all,
been thinking about meatballs recently, as a change bait.... ....how would you go about rigging them, they seem mighty fragile to me  Spoke to a chap on the Teme some weeks ago, and he mentioned threading some up the hooklink with one over the hook. Cast out, ignore the rod knocks as the baits on the hooklength are sampled and hold on tight when the hook bait gets taken  Paul |

I am also going to make up a block of bait that I can cut pieces off, the size that I want.
Mixture will be 50/50 Source basemix and halibut pellet powder, with Bankside "oyster crunch" liquid. Plan is to make up the mix with the requisite amount of eggs, shape into a block and boil for a couple of minutes.... ....hopefully I will end up with a block of bait, soft in the middle with a skin on the outside that can be cut into cubes, akin to luncheon meat but a bit different Paul |

that sounds like a fantastic bait i have something similar which is made from ground baits from the sensas 3000 range the carp mix is excellent mix it like aboilie mix with some maize meal and winter trout pellet paste and eggs it works well in large cubes and it takes all that can fit it in their mouth,s. good luck to you all

Sainsbury's do swedish pork and beef meatballs that seem pretty tough out of the packet. I kept a few back after feeding the kids tonight and plan to try them on the Loddon tomorrow. Anyone used them?

When i use meat balls i just push a size 2 hook straight through and turn a little then push back in.
Had no problems at all doing it like that and caught a few fish as well. cheers,Andy |
