Bait Droppers

Post by Penninelad »

I have lost or mislaid the last of my ancient Thamesley bait droppers.Can anyone recommend a source for metal baitdroppers( the plastic ones are useless as far as I am concerned)or give some indication of the method for making your own.

You can usually pick the older ones up on ebay.
Indispensable items I never go anywhere without one on flowing water.
