I have buckets of those, but I think I'll use beads, swivels, and telephone wire for the foreseeable future..

Yeah, they are right handy, my mate picked up about 30 packets of them in Spain during the summer for €1 each . .i donbt use them for compo gears but always keep a pack handy in the wallet for knocking up emergency rigs etc.

Hi Daithi,
You can use the very thin, coated wire in telephone wire as stop-knots, it also has the advantage of being re-positionable.

If you are all obsessed with these smarties I'll give them a try, when my new hooks arrive....

i cant really fault the smarties.. anytime i have 'borrowed' a rig from midget they seem to last a good while..

i usually get the yellow ones as they are good bait clips too

the red ones are the ones with swivels

wonder will M&M's come up with some
