Successful Bait Making - Part 1
It’s been a good six months since I finished my last series in Carpworld
and, as much as I enjoyed writing it, I haven’t missed having to find

there was still much to be said for the dying art of bait-making! |

BAIT - IT'S A FOUR LETTER WORD PART FIVE
As Shaun Harrison said in his piece in Carpworld 211, “It’s diffi cult to draw a line between divulging commercially sensitive information and being genuinely informative.” You can therefore understand that I’ve deliberately left out the edges that contribute to some of the success of my own products. That said, there is more than enough information to help anglers put together very effective baits for themselves if they
so wish, and on the way to some excellent results. |
