I remember that one he used slugs for baitGrumpy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:07 pm Very interesting,I watched a programme the other night set in the Amazon rain forest.The locals were fishing for Piranha with nothing more than a bendy branch,line and hook.I may well fashion something for some summertime fun.
One of John Wilsons tv shows showed him fishing with a willow branch,he managed a couple of Chub,boy did he laugh!!
I would probably go all technical and fettle a paper clip or something similar,fix it to the tip and tie the line to it.Bobthefloat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 7:09 pm What would be the best way to attach the line to the end chaps? Any suggestions?
