Hi All


Came across these in Southside Angling Friday afternoon.

Are they worth the money???

Cheers Brian

I have never seen people using a bait pump effectively here. Blow Lug seem to get broken and Black lug don't seem to be around as much as in the UK. I think a good fork is a better investment.

I tried a bait pump years ago and concur completely with this assessment. It does still get used, for sucking out the gunge that clogs our downspout gulleys!

they can be great when used the right way, but it takes a good while to learn how to use them, i use one in north dublin for blow lug and would not go back to a fork
