I recently purchased a 500g bag of Cotsworld Future Range dumbells. When attempting to pierce them with the smallest baiting needle in my tackle box every one split into small pieces, I ended up attaching them to my hook using a bait band.
I spoke to the Managing Director of Cotsworld baits and explained the problems I had with their product, he informed me that Cotsworld had stopped putting these dumbells in bags (allthough they are still being sold in tackle shops) as the product was drying out and Cotsworld were now selling them glugged in a small screw top pot, I was informed that the company would compensate me by posting a sample pot to my address.
True to his word a few days later in my post box arrived a small parcel containing five pots of different flavoured glugged Cotsworld Future Range dumbells.
My next fishing trip I eagerly set up my rods and armed with my smallest baiting needle pierced my first dumbell then 2-3-4-5, opened a new pot, pulled out a very fine sewing needle that I carry in my tackle box and pierced the dumbell, the same thing happened, every single one split.
Has anyone used these dumbells, if so how did you hair rig them?
