Whats the strangest thing you ever used as bait?

[KenChir]

The strangest thing I ever used was a 1cm cube of ham... didn't do much though.

Think I had seen it used for fresh water fishing for some type of fish in Australia

[gottie]

Ham is actually an excellent bait for Fanfri (Pilot Fish). Last year I actually caught a dozen fanfri from beneath an FAD using ham which I took from my sanwich, as I had no alternative bait. Worked well for me !

so now you have to post something kenneth

let me start
Twistees (HA HA HA HA HA)
one of the best baits for Kahli
TRY IT !!!!!!

Some thing to laugh about
one of the amberjacks i caught this year had a (lucky strike) empty packet of cigs in its belly
I Think he had one hell of a smokin habit

[KenChir]

hehehe, Now the twistees myth has been confirmed ! 

my girlfriend's dad used the exact same thing when he used to go for kahli

a friend of mine has been talking about using rice lately... will try to test it asap

[Rio]

Haha!!! I have caught 1 to 5 kg barracudas using biros (ball point pens) as artificial lures!

[Simon G]

I accedently descovered that trolling a piece of nylon rope is an effective way of catching cudas
by accedently i mean i was trolling and caught a nylon rope while pulling it up saw cudas chase
good luck guys

Hi guys

Dose anyone knows how to do a bait called (farka)

[placebo]

Farka .... there's many different ways, tricks and techniques how to get a good farka.

Get some nice bread preferably curly bread (fancy).
Put bread in some luke warm water till bread is full of water (mifquh) - 5-7mins
then put bread in cold water for just 30secs.
Pull out bread and soak well. Remove as much water as you can .
Preferably put farka overnight in a fridge.

There's also imported farka which you can get from local tackle shops.
As with everything else I suggest that you start making your own farka and improve with time.

Hey Guys,

Was just wondering if anyone has tried this product which I found on Maltapark?  I was thinking of trying them out this Friday night...

GREEDY BAIT - FAT WORMS!! These are freeze-dried ragworms (hniex) which you can keep for A WHOLE YEAR! When you want to use them, simply add any sort of water - salty or fresh - and the bait is an extremely effective substitute for FRESH bait. This means : (1) You will not have to use all the fresh bait within a few days before it dies (2) you save A LOT!! - this bait comes in packets which each cost lm 2.50 - if you buy the equivalent in fresh worms, they would cost around Lm 12!! (remember that these last for a whole year without refrigeration!).

Thanks,
Darren

what shop can i buy these from?

[dcassar]

From fishing world in naxxar

[sergio]

sounds a bit dodgy to me . picky fish always prefer the freshest bait available. but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try eh

[dcassar]

Well I went and it seems they have not recieved a full consignment yet (they will be available in a couple of weeks time..

The good thing is that they opened a pack and gave me one for free to try it out...should be doing some bottom fishing this weekend - I'll tell you how it went...

By the way have you guys tried or had any success with the Xnix (sorry for the spelling) Paste which they offer...they say you can ball it up on your hook..

my friend tried this greedy bait.  he was disappointed did not catch any.  by the way he said it is really smelly. not smelly in the good way like gambli but in the bad way. cimiterji
