Bait

An easy and secure way to hair rig lumps of luncheon meat is to use a screw device of some kind tied to the end of a hair rig.

When using paste there are a few ways of attaching a paste coil. The usually recommended method is to attach it to a hair as you would a boilie and hold it in place with a stop or split shot. This has always proved both fiddly and unreliable to me. I prefer to tie it to the end of the hooklink before forming the knotless knot - as by tying the hair to the coil you can stretch it to any size you like. But this method limits you a bit and means you have to carry more made up rigs. A quick way, but difficult to describe, of attaching a paste coil to a standard hair is to thread the hair loop through the coil, and then pass it over and between the coils themselves, or over the hook point. You are restricted as to how large you can make the coil, but it is a quick change method for switching from a hard bait to paste.
