Ballpark, not a live price

The classic bream bait. A cricket on a light hook under a small float is how a lot of anglers caught their first fish.

What it's for

Drift under a small float through pools and undercut banks

Thread on hook under float, drift through current-washed cover

Drift under a split shot along current seams and boulder edges

Great bottom bait near cover, especially at dusk

Hook through the collar, drift near brush and drop-offs

Hook through the body and drift near docks or weed edges

Or worms fished still on bottom, but crickets work great too

Drift under a small float near riffles and pools

Drift naturally under a small float in deep clear pools
