Babbing For Eels

What is  "babbing for eels"?

1. Babbing - this uses worms threaded onto wool or chord and is covered by regional byelaws. It's usually permitted as long as no hooks or metal attachments are use on the line.

2. With the aid of a baiting needle, thread on thirty Lobworms up the line, then bunch them up to the thread and "tights" material. Then just jig them from the boat and pull the line out real fast, when you have a bite.

3. Babbing with a ball of worms wound onto worstead thread, to which an eel's teeth stick, jigging it up and down, is still legal in some areas. As is an eel pritch, of which I have three, a good way of taking eels.
