Re: Flashmer bait pump
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.

Re: Flashmer bait pump
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!JimC wrote:I have never seen people using a bait pump effectively here.

Re: Flashmer bait pump
Have to say lads I made two out of copper pipe ad brass fittings and they work...I think it's best on shallow muddy beaches north of Dublin...sand is to coarse on the west

Re: Flashmer bait pump
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
