Fishing baiting techniques: worms, boilies and pellets

Bait spike

Choose how to present the bait. Hooking a worm, mounting a boilie on a hair and banding a pellet are different tasks; use the method that fits the bait.

Attach the bait spike to the hair and press it into the centre of a bait that can hold it securely.
