All

I believe I read a similar thread on the Forum a while ago.

Seems it is a dip made from concentrated bloodworm essence. Coats your fly and the trouts simply smells bloodworm and homes in on your fly.

Bordering on coarse fishing and seems to counter the whole idea of fly fishing.


I wont bother ever calling the number unless armed with a bag of boilies and miles away from any trout fishery!

I out of curiosity called this a while back, what i was offered was a "Special" fly. Basically a glow in the dark thing. and a dvd of a guy fishing catching fish after fish. What shocked me more than the fly was the way the guy treated the fish in the video.
I havent bought the fly, but i got another letter from him and it was that Bloodworm dip that a previous post has mentioned. all in all a Scam. I would think that a magazine such as TF would check out adverts BEFORE they put them into the magazine.
