Don't work mate, but I have had success using the Bloodworm one's from Powerbait I think as a disguise for the hook, at least they worked for me.

They do work Robbie,i use them when minnows ,crayfish ect are a problem and i have caught plenty of barbel on them, i have even caught using them without the real thing and have every confidence in them.
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 |

Has anyone tried making their own? I was thinking of whittling some from a red plastic cork which was in a bottle of wine I was given.
I have used, (and caught on), chunks of yellow industrial rubber earplugs, cut to resemble corn; they also take a flavour well. Adrian.

Rubber casters are superb for tench. 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.
