Q - Why do you use casters regularly in matches?

A - Because they are a natural bait that falls into the water and they also look like caddis grubs and snails etc that fish see on a regular basis and this in turn helps you to catch more fish. Casters fall through the water at different rates according to their colour(density) and are therefore more attractive to passing fish and this also helps when you attach a caster to your hook as this will fall through your swim at a different rate to the others and will look more natural. The darker the caster the more bouyant it becomes. Casters that reach the bottom of the lake sit on top of the silt and will not bury themselves like maggots do.
