As most anglers already know, slugs are one of the best baits for big Chub.
Trouble is, have you tried picking them up? Try using sand paper; this will
save your hands from all that yucky slime! Keep the feed going in and the Chub
will come on feed. Sometimes you have to be patient. Try the slacks and dont
ignore slack water where baits will fall out of the main flow. This is where
Chub live and feed. Dont be afraid to try a bigger bait. For example: when
using paste; use up to half a golf ball. In some cases, mainly on cold spring
days, chub will only use a small amount of their energy to find baits, so the
bigger the bait the more chance of a catch.
It might be freezing but sometimes big Chub feed more on a regular basis, even
in the coldest  weather. Worms are fantastic for Chub and big Roach but
sometimes its hard to dig just for a few hours fishing  you could always try
our new Earthy Worm Paste to save the hassle!
