Fishing baiting techniques: worms, boilies and pellets

Mussel bait

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.

Secure the mussel so it stays on the hook during a cast. Check that using this bait is permitted at the fishing venue.
