HOW TO... BAIT UP WITH FROZEN LUG

-

You need some frozen black lug (it comes wrapped in paper or clingfilm), a baiting needle and some fine elastic bait cotton.

Insert the point of your hook into the hollow end of the baiting needle, making sure you keep pressure on the length of line.

Continue threading the black lug from the needle on to the hook and over the eye, so there is plenty of hook point visible.

Thread the worm, preferably defrosted, on the bait needle. Then trap the elastic at the end of the worm and wrap the bait with the elastic.

Thread the bait from the needle on to the hook by easing the bait off the needle and over the bend of your hook.

Remove the hook point from the baiting needle and your bait should look like this. You can add another worm if you want, or tip off with a piece of squid or fish.
