Do you use a hair or a bit of elastic band to keep the hook clear?<br /><br />Having had to get trebles out of the throats of two pike this season (not mine, ones that were left there) I'm really interested in alternatives to trebles.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-91974703169304860432012-01-16T20:19:28.038+00:002012-01-16T20:19:28.038+00:00Nice blog Brian.

I have gone over to them for all livebait (not done any dead baiting yet this year so not tried on dead baits). All runs have been hit and every fish has been neatly hooked in the scissors.<br />Stevestevetheteachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-30412749691461159742012-01-16T20:12:02.591+00:002012-01-16T20:12:02.591+00:00Winding down to everything, if they're there I...Winding down to everything, if they're there I strike - I'd rather miss a fish than deep hook one. I am wondering if the bolt-rig is hooking them for me. I felt the fish from run I missed on Saturday, the hook failed to find a hold and I was surprised it didn't come back to the next bait.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-30790995720806298372012-01-16T20:04:02.155+00:002012-01-16T20:04:02.155+00:00I'll give it a try, I'd love to catch a za...I'll give it a try, I'd love to catch a zander (I've never even seen one)and I've heard they like kebab style roach - 2 birds with one stone...
