Preparing Mussels?

[Topfly]

Ell, we all know you tie them in to sausages, and thread them on to the hook,dont chase them rund the shank with the lacky thread. empty tea bags? !!!! what.

Whassis tying in sausages mallarkey - I have no problem triple hooking a mussel or three, quick spin rund then chriss cross whipping with the mouldy thread. Last NESA comp apart from the birdies and crack-offs. Normally my bait elastic unravells itself and has noisy parties in my box when it's left alone. Pick thread up and there's 8 ends and 4 loops to deal with.

NESA comp, first time ever - I was trying to find the end - like a man in an office with sellotape where you can't swear because your boss is a lady (and harder than you) or scrabbling for a tag end in one of those stupid public toilet outsize fecking titanium drums they hide the bog roll. Why?

i just thread a few onto my bait needed, wrap in elastic thread, pull them off the needle then away ya go or for a cheaper allernative just use coctail sticks, these can also be made up in the house and stored in a flask for very cold nights

or like charlie says its just as easy threading them with elaci straight onto a hook

tip for thread i have mine inside a plastic pot size of of salt seller with a hole in the top pull the thread through the top hole then put a elastic band around the outside to grip the thread when you use the the thread snap it off below the band and it wont spring back inside the pot ,had thread for years as it wont rot because it dos,ent get wet , top tipster jamcod
