[BIGCHRIS]

aye alan i agree nowt works for everyone all of the time otherwise we would all be bagging up constantly

[Marksman]

here\'s how I present my bait......
I use a 4/0 main hook with a 2/0 on a pennell pulley rig
2 x peeler crab sniped on top hook & wrap around with microfine elastic.


Quite often I add a couple of yellowtails up the side for that extra bit scent.
Hope the pic helps

To me its all about the sent as this is what the cod mainly home in on i think the elastic cutting in to the bait isnt a bad thing if it releses more cent a cod swiming a few meters away is gana smell it b4 it see\"s it.Just my own opion.I usaly use 3 good size lug and a half a crab wiped on to the hook shank and then pull the lug down in to a tight little bait so the lug juices run in down on the crab OOOOOOOO sounds good enough to eat (thats if i were a big cod that is)

Wish I could afford to use 2 crabs in a bait! Nice picture. Do you use elastic with runnydown? Never know whether I should or not. Stops it slumping down on the hook but still don\'t catch anything. Next week\'s the week. Got a week off and SWMBO is away for the week so out all week!
