Booby tying

With the cold weather setting in and the fish moving down and feeding towards the bottom, boobies will be my main course of attack from now on.

I spent ages trying to get a the perfect booby eyes, and the best ones I ever had were tyed by Lee Kitchen. I got fed up with shit floozeyes that broke if a fish even sniffed at them, and polystyrene balls in stocking mesh (not just cos they smelt fishy!).

I phoned Lee up at the start of the year and he kindly explained the way he made them. Best if you make a few cylinders and trim them up while watching TV and drinking a beer. Can take a few minutes to make them, but with time it will speed up.
