Use to just change both hooks out when I snapped the fine wire then remake them up when I got home. Nice idea. I'll give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never confident using 2 fine wire hooks just incase I lost a fish of a lifetime with the hooks snapping. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very old copy of the Daily Mirror, dated September 16th, 1941. I found it blocking up an air vent when I was redecorating the old part of the house. A previous owner must have stuffed it in there to stop drafts. It was very fragile so I had it framed to preserve it and it makes a nice thing to hang on the wall, given the historical context.

suzook12 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 So muppets would be no good for uptiding or beach as they need to be off of the bottom, where both mentioned methods would have it nailed hard on the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there was a strong tide run I would use the smaller muppets instead of going up to a larger pirk, so if your using off the beach or uptiding they will drag in the tide.

I must say it was a bit of a let down for me, although I totally understand the sentiment of the cutting and the relevance to the house.

I reckon that air vent was in the loo and that paper may have even been used for the purpose it was put there for!!! Well worth framing Andy.

Malc Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It was slightly shallow water, 30-40ft, I was casting 90' away from the boat so similar to uptiding apart from it being sluggish tidal current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 ive heard they are good for bigger whiting - on a flapper/feather style rig baited with mackerel/squid - going to try that at the weekend on one rod while the other is down on the bottom for the flatter stuff!

The big difference with uptiding is, with the bow in the line, all the snoods are on the deck, same with beach fishing in these parts though not as extreme Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Made up some muppet rigs - to try out soon Simple one hook twisted boom just off the bottom to allow some flow but be close enough for most fish - good for wrecks and piers too and your general running ledger trace with beads to hold the mullet up from the bait a bit (good idea blatently stolen) 100lb rig body used as i expect mostly conger on these! - will bait with mackerel head for conger, Squid flap for whiting - mackerel side for anything else! worth a try! mick, Malc, Saintly Fish and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I use similar for whiting, 2-3 small muppets small bit of squid. Used to work a treat as a kid when I was fishing the local piers. Where did you get the small ones from? 🤔🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
