How To - Use A Speed Bander

The Speed Bander has been designed to make banding soft baits like maggots and casters much quicker and easier. This handy little tool maximises fishing time and improves bait presentation, ultimately helping you catch more fish! To use the Speed Bander effectively, you’ll need to use a banded hook length; we recommend using a micro bait band, as this grips your hook bait much tighter and gives you a more discrete and natural presentation.

Items Required

Speed Bander

Hooklength With Micro Bait Band

Maggots Or Casters

Step 1

Attaching The Hooklength

Take your banded hooklength and place the band on the point of the speed bander, then wiggle the band down to the lip of the Speed Bander.

Step 2

Place Your Hookbait

Place your hookbait, either a caster, maggot or small 4mm pellet (we recommend using dead maggots as they stay in place better).

Step 3

Trap The Hookbait

Gently peel up the band until it traps your hookbait in the band.

Step 4

Perfect Presentation

Once the band is placed on the hookbait, centralise the band, making sure it's not twisted, and you will have perfectly presented hookbait.
