Fake baits

I must try this method.

 

 

 

How do you post a YouTube link? I tried the one featuring Russ Abbot swinging a loudspeaker into the river playing Des O'Connor.

 

Read the forums T&Cs Mike, I'm pretty sure it forbids the playing of any Des O'Conner records on here.

 

If it doesn't, then it should!

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

It took me a while to come around to having the confidence to fish with just fake baits and so went around the usual combining it with food valve bait (ie boilie topped with fake corn)

 

However, once you have used it with some success then it becomes a very valuable tool in certain circumstances. As already stated its good when after fish that "hoover up" bait with corn being my favourite. When, I have been reasonably confident of catching, I have fished with just a small polystyrene ball on a hook to negate the weight of the hook. When fish are feeding it has often out fished real bait or imitation bait that looks real! It is just really about making the hook neutral so they suck it in with all the goodies, grounbait etc.

 

I have also had very good results on fake maggots and have used them a lot in the past. My most surprising odd catches are Perch on fake worms. I tried it a few years ago after running out of real bait maggots and worms on a gravel pit when the Perch were feeding hard and I managed quiet a few. Just leaving a plastic worm out would eventually get a Perch bite. Oddly, twitching the bait did not make any real difference and induce many bites. I could have used the plastic worms more effectively but then it would have been "lure fishing" which was not allowed. Fishing can be wierd, catching Perch on a static plastic worm left on the deck and similarly strange Pike on a static spoon left on the deck has given me more enjoyable memories then catching them on conventional methods.

 

I have managed to catch a few Perch since at other venues on a fake worm left out but its more for novelty value then any great faith in it as a bait. However, I have great confidence in fake corn and maggots and always have them in my tackle bag.

Sorry for the delay Keith in thanking you for your post of the Castella ad. That was the one. Classic if you'll pardon the pun.
