That fish was caught on such a cold evening that everyone’s cameras were freezing up and struggled to focus. In the end I just let her go with what we had on two of the cameras and took a chance. I’m never fussed by photos, I’m more worried about getting them back quick. Just need her big brother of a common 😉

Yep not a problem. I've had a 12 mm pick up a size 4 complete with a 22mm bottom bait like there was nothing heavy attached to it

Shillham technology……trace it all the way back to the man behind handcraft hookbaits.
Regarding buoyancy, we can make them even more buoyant very easily but then they will be far too floaty for many anglers. People don’t want loads of metal or putty on rigs. We have tried to find a nice compromise. Very buoyant and designed for size 4s generally, same with the Wafters. We are aware of the fact that we can’t please everyone.
But the 12s are really made for the size 4 Ronnie brigade or stiff hinge or chods. The 15mm baits are very very buoyant should you need even more!! It’s more about what we can put inside the mixes rather than how buoyant they are. We will happily answer any questions you all have

Im using size 2 fox curv hooks on ronnies, they are more like a size 4, but the wire gauge is much bigger than most
