there are days when lives are the only option,

 

i know a place you can fish deads till ya hearts content...yes you will get a few fish....but put some effort into cathing some lives...and watch what happens...oftne than not your lifeless swim coems alive its not uncommon to get 3-4 takes one after the other,mainly small but hey its sport!

lives are particualy effective on rivers.

 

i'm livebaiting tommorrow for perch,and i have had zeds on em,never know a chub might have a go too more than possible,**** i knowsome thats had carp on lives!

 

i am respectfull i dont blantantly do it as i do know some it offends,anybaits i dont use get put back.

 

no harm done.

Don't quite understand the weighing down thing. A lively 4" roach would take a fair bit of weight to keep it down in the water wouldn't it?

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

not really, half ounce drilled bullet keep teh bait down,depends on species used etc rudd like swimming up in the water,gudgeon dont.
