They are bouyant and i use a small shot on the hair beween the bend of the hook and the caster, then they are not wafting around unaturally. i141.photobucket.com/albu...nettes.jpg

I have used, (and caught on), chunks of yellow industrial rubber earplugs, cut to resemble corn; they also take a flavour well.

Dave Mason and Stuart Court will be the speakers on the night with a brand new presentation featuring amongst other things demonstrations of rig tying and bait making. More details to follow.

I use 2 of them hair-rigged to a size 12 or 3 on a size 10 and their buoyancy just neutralises the weight of the hook. With tench I use them in conjunction with a small PVA mesh bag of casters nicked onto the hook with a short 3 inch hooklink and a semi-fixed 2 oz lead. Used thus, the tench finds a little pile of casters on the bottom, sucks at them and is hooked.

I had a great deal of success with them,getting through hundreds of tiny rudd,to get to some nice Crucians,this spring.

I pass the hair down the entire length of the caster and then back up again, tying it off with a uni-knot and a small blob of superglue. This was a method that has been tried and tested by local anglers and they simply passed the information onto me, but it seems to work.

There really is no point in fishing real casters on the hook nowadays,the plastic ones work just as well and are totally immune from the attentions of small fish , Tench are much more 'Riggy' than barbel and they love em

Posts: 70 (04/03/07 18:26) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	i use then all the time and have been doing so since they first came out.Before which i was using the rubber grubs from sportsfish.I hair rig them the same as paul but have now stopped using the superglue to secure the uni knot .If the presentation is ruined by a fish, or getting the rubber castor stuck in the mesh of the net ,by not using super glue you can often tease the knot with a baiting needle and continue using the rig.People dont like the idea of them being buoyant but to me its there best attribute.You mention using a size fourteen drennan specilist hook ...use a size fourteen drennen barbel specialist instead ...and you dont need two on the hair as one is sufficient......i have caught a few barbel on these rigs but in the main i use them for chub fishing .can tell you that they have been used very successfully for tench and carp .HERES A FEW I PREPARED EARLIER
