Pasties

[mikench]

Why are carp called "pastie carp"? I assume it is a derogatory term and has something to do with their eating habits!

 

[tigger]

It's because they resemble a pastie when lying on their side.

Pasties often have a pastry joining on top that makes them resemble something else with fancy flaps .

When viewed from above the scales under the dorsal fin (on mirrors) might look like the top of a cornish pasty.

My sentiments entirely! I am not sure I can look at a Ginsters in the same way now!

Some funny terms arn't there? Pasties, skimmers, the method (for the lack of a better description by its inventor) and noddies....

 

[ken more]

Are older, more mature Pasties, known as "saddle bags"?

The ultimate p - - - take in the eighties was to come back to your rods and find some t - - t had fastened a bell to the end!.:wh
Hence the term !
