RAG!

[wilky83]

Can anyone tell me how to keep rag in good condition and is there anyway of toughening them up before use i only need to keep them for a day or two at most before use. Im using them for some experimental spinning but they only last a few casts was wondering if i can harden them up .

I keep them in a drop of sea water in the fridge and I change the water every couple of days, before casting dip the worms in the sea this is supposed to toughen them up.

Put them in news paper about 3or 4 hours before you go keep turning them on dry paper .they go like rubber and get a great shine and colour.as above dip them in the sea before you cast .some fine fat fellas in fhe ferry

how ye. I always keep rag in newspaper with some seaweed in with them and then put some sand onto the rag when you get to the beach. The sand will give them a bit of grip too for baitin up.

The sand does the trick alright

You have a few choices,dry the rag in newspaper ,and then re-wrap in damp weed,they also
keep well in vermiculite,find that this toughens them considerably,some lads dont like it.
both ways work.

open the fridge and swear black and blue at them the more insults the better if that doesnt toughen em up nothing will!
