How do you stop lunch meat falling off a hair rig?

I'm assumimg that you DO know how to tie a hair rig? :-) To avoid meat falling off on the cast you have three options that can be used individually or together.

1/ Toughen the meat. This can be done by lightly frying the cubes of meat! (Really!)

2/ Put a small length of narrow diameter rig tube (or similar) on the hair, THEN thread your bait onto the hair, so that the tube is within the bait and the hair is within the tube ... it stops the 'cheese wire' effect of the line cutting the meat.

3/ Use a larger than normal hair stop, or perhaps a flat one, to spread the load ... there are actually special 'meat stops' manufactured for this purpose!
