Can't say I've used anything unusual, but I seem to remember a friend (possibly my imagination p) threw some UFO's out and got them to take off the top. Not sure these are made anymore. Can't see how you would rig them up either!

I hear jelly babies work quite well. I think the late Rod Hutchinson used them at Redmire.

I've caught on a side hooked red wine gum fished under a float.

Funniest thing I've heard of is a mate that used to fish with lego heads on the hair instead of fake corn. Apparently the sunglasses heads caught more than any of the others

My dad caught a 17lb mirror on a 6 inch Lamprey section.

One guy who tagged onto our group for a while was basically there to get drunk and the guys got pissed off with him after a while.
One session while he was sleeping it off they reeled in his rods and baited up with a monopoly hotel and a subbuteo football for a laugh.
He caught an 8lb common on the subbuteo football.

I once caught a carp off the surface using a piece of dried sheep ****! Guy came round and asked me what I was using, so I told him. He didn't believe me till I got him to choose a piece and had 1 instantly. Also had them on NikNak crisps.
