I know, I know! You're all saying, oh no, not slugs again.Sorry, but, I have an infestation, or is that colonisation, (there's so many of them) in my garden. In the main they're the nice, juicy black ones which chub are supposed to adore.
I am not a squeamish angler, not by any stretch of the imagination, so I have no problem handling them. Being an ex-employee of Dyno Rod put a stop to that. All I need, (want) to know is the optimum method of hooking the blasted things for best presentation.
Some say you should match the hook to the slug. That precludes that all the beasties are the same size,otherwise you'd be changing your hook every cast, surely. Also, would you fish them with a lighter hook length, or mainline straight through?
The advice of your most inimitable selves would be greatly appreciated.
