At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

They are only any use for Blacks I believe, wasting your time trying to pump out blow lug with it Shane.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D

Great for blacks straight over the cast and hey presto easy lug...... as for the blow lug if they're fairly well dispersed you can put the bait pump in at an angle from the "blow" hole facing towards the cast and you can get lucky but TBH it's more hassle than just digging the blow lug as corbyeire pointed out you'll slice alot of them in half and if the beach is littered with cast's forget about trying to get blow lug with a bait pump as trying to match up "blow" holes with cast is something best left to contestants on the krypton factor..... find a beach with plenty of black lug and your laughing :wink:
