bait pumps

[spirit42]

Having just got back into sea fishing I havbe found things have changed a tad. I used to dig my own lug with a tater fork. However the back aint what it used to be. (I have stopped getting off the bike while it is still going) I am looking at getting one of them there bait pump thingys but being a tad old school (posh for thick) I know sod all about them. How do they work, are they any good ect. I bveseech thee fellow forumersO me who is not worthy HELP PLEEEEEEEESE

get an avery to start tackle shops sell them but without instuctions stainless steel beware the plastic ones there is a few threads about bait digging on the forum check them out and like most things there is no substitute for experience personaly get a bucket with a handle that stays up its quite annoying when it falls down thats one of the little niggles oh and get off the bike first

hi there, baker boy here just started pumping, damm better than digging, if you can get the stainless 22mm bore. either go ontop of cast push down pump and pull handle up, if after 3 rd go no worm move onto next cast, also u can find cast and blow hole go in at a slight angle to cast or hole and draw handle up again 3 goes then move on, on my 1st outing 1 1/2 hrs got about 30/40 blacks, still learning, but that was what i was told by a exp bait pumper, hope this helps.

correct adjustment and proper sucksion is the key add washing up liquid to the hole in the handle a man once said to me dont use washing up liquid i askd why he said it taints the worms and the fish dont like it i said where does it go when everyones missus does the washing then

had a word around and with the holder of the bank card
ended up with an averly sucks them out a treat. it took a bit of getting used to but what a back saver. will have paid for itself in a couple o more sessions. only need the fish to realise that there is a nice tasty treat waiting for them. Al in all well happy

well done spirit42 for getting out there and pumpin your own, i found it even more satisfieing ,when u finally catch a fish with worms that u got yourself, also look for very low tides below 1m gives lots more time out there in the sand,

happy pumping

Have always tried to dig me own but this method is by far better. Yes you are right. the most satisfying moment is when you have a sizable fish in your bag caught on the rig you tied and the bait you dug/pumped. Tight lines mate and glad I took your advice

thanks for the comment back dude, another little bit ov ad v is have one smaller bucket inside your main one,the smaller one av lots of drain holes in fill half way with salt water helps clean sand of worms really quickly,
