The 'Franklin' Flyer....

[Adam F]

Just thought I'd pop a little piccie up for why we use 'The Franklin Flyer'....

 

 

It's not a pennel - they are too bulky and impeed the bait's presentation. It's not rocket science, but a few years back after dropping alot of turbot, I decided to hair rig a size 12 carp hook... it worked! about 30% of the fish caught last week came in on the small hook - would have been dropped on a single hook.

Is the Flyer baited or is it just nicked into the side of the launce or sandeel much the same principle as the pennel ??

Nicked into the side of the bait - not under tension, just to keep it tucked out of the way.

This trick was shown to us by the man himself, when he came with us in 2008.

 

used again in 2009 and recently, it also added a few fish to our net.

 

Nice one and thanks for sharing

Works for sure, day one in Alderney using single hook I blanked while the others caught. Day two used a 1/0 pennel and result two Turbo's.
