Boilies Vs Other baits

[daveabbott]

Well most of us use boilies for 90% of our fishing mainly due to its easy and effective use. But i have had alot of goof fish on other baits mainly worms stalking but also on meat.

My point is I think that if meat was easyer to use, and would stay on the hook long enough with a good hard chuck. It would be just as effective as boilies if not more effective.

And worms i feel that if worms stayed alive under water then they would be a bait that would really be worth a shot leaving out over night.


Does anyone have the confidence to leave a rod out overnight or for a long period with baits such as meat or worms?

And have you ever had any good results?

Your view please people

Defo, m8 who do you know that stalks with alot of confidence with boilies more than they would with a big lobworm or meat, mussels even.

However, we're happy with them when they're fished at long range.

I like boilies as hookbaits. But a couple of fermented grains of maize over a spod mix would probably outfish a boilie wouldnt it .

All depends in what you have confidence in really cos if you think confident you'll probably catch more.

A King Prawn stays on the hook for ages without coming off and on some waters is a supreme bait

Not the full prawn tho, I cut off the tail first.
