Adam F Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) 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.

pirky Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Adam Is the Flyer baited or is it just nicked into the side of the launce or sandeel much the same principle as the pennel ?? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nicked into the side of the bait - not under tension, just to keep it tucked out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 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 Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
