just a thought.!has anyone thought of using bloodworm in the cageball(solar)which could be covered in a fine denier stocking (nylon)material and fished in a bloodworm bed?? any veiws,ive not done it,but i seem to remember an ancient Dick Walker article on a simialar theme (obviously without the solar ballcage)it might be worth trying..tom.k

Tom,

It's a hell of a lot easier using red maggots.......

trouble is fishing in a feild of grass with a blade of grass ??????????about it

I had to check my calender when I spotted the 'new' ball cage. Thought it was April 1st.

By the way, where can I buy a very small hamster to put inside these new balls?

Hey, Bob, don't knock it!

They are the only thing I have ever come acoss which appears to be totally crayfish-proof. I have meshed my baits before and even then they have been attacked and destroyed by the damn crays. Bait cages work in keeping the buggers off me bait!!!

Oops, double post. Sorry chaps!

I first saw these at the c.s show in november or what ever last year.

I didnt like them then. Still dont like them now. I think the caging is too thick. if it was thinner then maybe. However, saying this I dont fish waters with crays in them....Its too cold for em up north....ho ho.

My only question with these cages is....

Can they cause any harm to the fish if the cage somehow comes loose and is swallowed?

I wouldn't have thought so. You only have to consider the crap that some carp eat (by that I mean swan mussells and shells/stones) and they all seem to pass through rheir stomach easily.

The pssibility of the cage coming apart is also pretty unlikely - have you ever tried putting one of them together?

It's hard work!

Cheers
