Re: Prawns for Perch - help please!
My only input is that the bites I experienced, when I used them on a recent perch trip, were quite quick as opposed to the sail away and hang on you often get with a worm. So if you are going to spend most of your time undoing the knitting that the boys create, your rod is not exactly a 'sleeper' rod and you may miss that all important moment when a 3 pounder comes a calling.
I wish you well and eternal patience on your trip

I always take a length of rope and, if I can't get to hit my own bites, I will just tie them up to a tree for an hour or so!

It worked! Only the one good bite but a mighty fine perch nonetheless! Thanks again all. I am going to put a brief write up in my journal.

Congratulations, another convert to the pink wonder. I'm going to give them a try for some grayling on Tuesday.
