Any of you guys on here gone so far as hair rigging casters? Aparently Alan Scotthorne has been banding caster at Lindholme to great effect..

How, ?

Rich, just tie a hair and then attach a tiny pellet band (like one of the gardener ones or the new mosella) then use a Bandabait tool to open up the band - pop in the caster and away you go...

Would not thought it was worth it, casters are easy to hook & you can hide the hook, but, who am I to argue with AS.

hair rigging a bait makes it harder for the fish to eject the bait. Its the same principle as hair rigging a pellet. So hair rigging a casters has the same benefits. You hit more bites.
