Artificial Baits

#1 Post by Cormdogg »

After mad dash from work to tackle shop only to find it closed 20 minutes early I decided to invest in some artificial baits so I dont have to worry about more points on my license.

I got Berkley Gulp, white rag,peeler crab,mack strips and red earthworm for my trout endevours on ebay togeether for €20

Has anyone any experience positive hopefully with artificials?
