I have a brand one here surplus to requirements, if you are interested I'd sell it for 50 Euro.
Can't give you any advise on the how to because I never got to use it. There was another thread opened just recently, if you use the search function on the top you might find it.

no problem at all Peter, you are most welcome. Have you found the thread with the 'how to' advice? If not, just google for it, loads of links there too.

After looking at tube and seen at how easy it was ha! .I though I get me self on them sure it looks easy .well from my exp It aint.But The man in shop might tell you different.Check it rust
From the last fool who bought one . It can be me as I am To stupid to admit defeat and live in hope that some day I will get the knack as how to use the bloody thing and collect worms with the same amount of apperent easy as those on you tube.
In short save you money untill the day you come accross someone who has used them and can show you how to use it on a beach.

I have my brother searching tackle shops in wales at the moment to see if he can pick me one up cheap. I've heard they are hard to use but with some fairly severe back problems in the last few years i think it might be worth my while trying to learn the trick to them, or else carry on paying 7 euro for a wrap of frozen gutless worms :evil: . As said above, it looks very easy in the videos so it has to be handy once you get the knack for it.

There was a good article in the December edition of Sea Angler with Alan Yeates about them if ya can get your hands on a copy... Personally never used them but have heard theyre brilliant if ya get the technique down.

I've also been thinking of buying one (bad back as well :? ). Can they be used for common lug? All I have seen and read about them only talks about using them for black lug?
