SPLIT THE SHELL OPEN....must still be attached
Place THE HOOK at the round edge of the mussel..barb (hook) standing proud....line upwards towards the pointed side of the mussel.CLOSE the mussel.
The HOOK AND LINE are now inside the mussel,with the hook standing proud....bind with ghost cotton.
NB...LEAVE a few barnicles on the muscle as this assists with the binding on of the shell.
cheers
