Report:Finished nights this morning so meant to get up early and dig a few lug but stayed in bed :D had razor at home in the fridge so used them.about a hour in and got the first knock a good one reeled into the fish it came to the top of the water a dog not a bad start.A few min later tap tap left it for awhile and a nice flat.Its getting dark now so hopes where up a very good bang i must be in slack line got back on the fish reeling in a lot of head shakes but off he came :evil: this was the way it went for most of the night.then a good bite a the end of the night put up a great fight for a small bass.Razor is a bait i dont use much but it has moved up the bait ladder for me .a good night roll on the next one :mrgreen:

Nice bass, well done. I find razorfish to be a brilliant bait for catching and fishing for bass, it and fresh lugworm. I've always had good results using it in the past but I guess it depends on where you are fishing. Certain baits will produce better results at some marks than others. It's all about finding out what works well for you.

get your razor, leave it in the fridge for 3/4 days till its just starting to turn a little yellow and then freeze it. i find it works much better than fresh stuff. keep a few fresh and fish both of them and see if it makes a difference for you.

nice bass man 8) 8) . one of the great things about using razor is that it can be thawed and refrozen many times, so none of it ever goes to waste :wink: . it just stinks to high heavens after a bit thow :shock: i remember opening the bait freezer door and nearly passing out when i had a pound of "RIPE" razor in it :oops: :oops: :oops: smells like a bad case of "BO" :(
