sight bobs...

I use 6-8mm cork balls with a bamboo toothpick pushed through them, one coat of nail varnish and a blob of flourescent red/green and job done...pay for sight bobs? I don't think so...

Worm castings, nice idea that. Used cod liver caps for a while, make a useful attractor. Handy when piking as well...

Where do you get your cork balls? The only ones in my local shops are extortionate - it's cheaper to buy ready-made sight bobs!

They've only been extortionate since being associated with carp fishing in conjunction with the use of popups!! :hairout:

Alternatively I was going to suggest getting Jeeves to wittle them from used champagne corks. :chuckle:

That's a good price. Last time I bought some they were about three quid for ten!
