Frequently asked questions

Why is this hooklength 45 cm long?
The longer rig is designed for fishing with a bomb or waggler and gives the hookbait more freedom of movement than a short method hooklength.

Can I use this version with a method feeder?
For a compact method rig, a shorter hooklength is generally more suitable. This 45 cm version is specifically intended for bomb and waggler fishing.

Which bait fits in the large bait band?
The large Super Soft Bait Band is suitable for larger hard hookbaits, such as pellets and dumbells.
