I would/nt bait hokkias or daylights just use normal hooks as you will have more success as its just like fishing with crab m8.

We went out of Amble last year. Daylites tipped with prawn was all that was catching, and guess what? We didn't have any! Lesson learned. Definitely try it!

Cotton?? No just daylites with prawns on hook, still in shells

Yeah I knew you meant elastic. No need to, just hook them. Don't know if the shell makes a difference, but that's what anglers were using out of Amble. We went to Asda bought them, worked a treat out of the Tyne.

I had a 14lb cod from the shore at St Abbs on asda cooked prawn, along with a 7lber to.... just last year. Well worth a try in my opinion. The boat lads swear by them and I've seen some old guys using them at Craster on the boat......they caught twice as many fish as me!!!! lol
