Pinkies, which are tiny, are very prized for quick fishing |
||||||
|
Its legendary contortions make it necessary. It’s used as a bait and for priming. It’s usually pink, but it can also be yellow, bronze or red according to colouring of their food. |

|
Pinkies are stemming from eggs of a metallic green small fly called Lucilia Caesar. It’s a small sort that, at the last stage of its growth, rarely exceed 1cm. Very moving grub with a high density it’s particularly adapted for priming and blow fishing. Thanks to its pink tint it’s distinguishable from the minus which is a maggot that is underway of growth. |

Alone on the hook |

| It’s the very bait for frying, bleaks, small roaches and small breams. It sometimes supersedes mud worm. In speed fishing it is very prized by champions because it avoids changing bait on every throw. | ||||||
| Mixed | ||||||
|
Concerning big fishes, it perfectly adapts itself to blending. For example, in comparison with a mud worm, a big maggot or a loam worm, it’s capable to make the difference when nothing really works. It also has its place in the making up of a very big mouthful liable to attract a lovely piece. |

| In lure | ||||||
| Either nature or coloured, the attractive power of pinkies reinforces the efficiency of a mix. You must use small quantities even if it means merging on request. A ¼ L of pinkies for 10 to 15 L of lure is already much. Your lure has to be very stickiness: the incessant slithering of pinkies may pop balls. For river fishing, I advise you to freeze them the previous day or to use a frosting product, it will avoid you breaking your priming balls. | ||||||
| Scattering | ||||||
|
With a slingshot or by hand, you can bait with pure pinkies. It is efficient in a pond or a canal, but it does not work in fresh waters. |
