Ratcatcher 3

This is the long awaited addition to the very popular Ratcatcher family. See details below for more information.
Description
This is the long awaited addition to the very popular Ratcatcher family and is based on the quick setting shape of the RC 2 but with a slightly larger body and a thicker 2.5 diameter x 18mm long hollow hi-viz tip for extra buoyancy and visibility.
The Ratcatcher 3 is made from the consistent density Tech1 foam and is built around a 1mm diameter flexible glass stem. The float takes around 4xno10 stotz or shot and is fitted as standard with a strong stainless steel spring eye.
As this float is only 83mm long it is ideal for fishing larger baits such as corn, meat and banded pellets in those shallow far or near bank swims and can even be used for fishing up in the water. Supplied with red, yellow, green or black tips.

HB TOP TIP
Fish with a spread bulk starting around 6″ from the hook and use the weight of the bait as the last dropper for fishing up in the water. For fishing far or near bank swims shot as required before adding the bait which will sink the float. When you have placed the rig in the swim inch it carefully up the slope until the tip just shows and you will see even the tiniest of bites.

The HB Redneck is my first choice of paste float for general paste fishing. Similar to its cousin the HB Shindig but much stronger it is built on a long 1mm diameter flexible glass stem which passes right through the very strong Tech3 foam oval shaped body and supports the first 20mm of the 1.7 mm diameter x 50mm long hollow Hi Viz tip. The float is fitted with a choice of two types of stainless steel spring eye securely glued to the base of the antennae making the HB Redneck a very strong animal indeed and can also be supplied without an eye for those that prefer to use an extra float rubber instead. Having a tip length of around 50mm makes this model very suitable for the paste fishing it was designed for but it also works very well for larger baits such as corn or meat when there is a need to bury the line beneath the surface. It is best fished with a spread bulk for paste or a spread bulk and droppers for corn etc. HB Top Tip People often shy away from fishing paste if there is a strong undertow in their swim. However if you position just enough shot a couple of inches from the hook to hold the unbaited rig still and then adjust the remaining shot so that when the undertow takes full effect there is half the tip showing you will stop the water movement pulling the hook out of the paste. Bites will be big lifts of the float or savage dips sometimes pulling the elastic out of the pole before you can strike.
