How to use the Top-Baiter
Step 1: Setting up the Top-Baiter
- Use the top eye (a) with your favoured method of set-up
- Ensure the hook length (b) is long enough to avoid fouling the basket (c) during casting
Step 2: Loading the Top-Baiter
- Bait the hook
- Slip the float section (d) to the top of the shaft
- Fill the basket (c) with your chosen attractant (e.g. Floating pellets) to approximately 2/3 full (refer to card disc in packaging for guide level)
Step 3: Fishing with the Top-Baiter
- Cast as normal
- On hitting the water, the basket sinks releasing the attractant around the float on the surface of the water
- Carefully draw your floating hook bait into the spread of the attractant and wait for a bite!
