Bait pumps true or false

#1 Post by lazycod »

I have been looking at buying a bait pump but to be honest there seems to be conflicting issues, The manufacturer claims that you can use the pump for extracting black lug ,blow lug and rag worm as far as I was aware the pump was only good for extracting black lug???? anybody out there got one of these pumps and if so what can they use it for...lazy

have used one and found it only useful for black lug, tended to burst blows. think blacks tend to burrow in a vertical burrow

there is a bit about pumping lug on other sites
pumps work better over certain types of ground. also can pump lug in pools where digging is akward.
