Gear ready..boat not

Hope orange does well this year, i got 100 x 12cm muppets off ebay last week but only paid £4.00 inc postage.

Last year i got sick of the muppet sliding down the hook, so i've been putting a bead down the line, resting on the hook eye and then sliding the muppet down the line. Anyone tried it this way ?

Yer it works fine like that.

Thats a good price also.

Well thats it wiped out, the last bit of cod/ling was taken out the freezer today and eaten, already being pestered to stock it up with 2-4lb cod and odd ling......4 weeks and counting until we try

checked mine last night and I've got 2 fillets of ling and a large fillet of cod to get scranned before the season starts

[northeast1]

You better get it eaten for the boxes of fresh stuff on its way soon

Norman, i think the sequin is going abit too far.. Yes thats what i've done bead inside and outside.
The seller on ebay was, sailorsimeseahooksandswivels, his name is longer than night shift, he had 5 lots of 100, in different colours, all the other colours went for over £5.00, the orange were the last ones up, i stuck a bid in for £3.00 and won them for £2.70 + P/P.
Where do you bulk but your O'shaugnesys Norm ?

Haha can't help it Chris what with all the dancing on Ice on TV and all that ....... but seriously, the sequins stop the knot better so save it pulling up the line I would say they have a "smaller more robust hole" than the beads ..... but thats probably not the best phrase to use
