I use them on the hair - easier to mount and change


Thanks Bryan & Phil !!
Yup, got talking to an old hand down the local last night, he confirmed it
was a chub, and apparently they're known for taking lures/spinners. He
said
he'd had quite a large one on a deadbaited sprat before too !

Another dumb newbie question .....

Are hallibut pellets any good as a hook bait when drilled, or is it wise
to
always use them the conventional way on a hair rig ?
