DESCRIZIONE
The present invention relates to angling, and more particularly to fishing wherein use is made of boilies (2) as bait. The invention provides a device and a method for arranging a drilled hole (9) in a boilie (2) using a known hand drill (3). The device comprises first and second co-acting substantially block-like parts, wherein the first part comprises a substantially flat upper side(7) with at least one first recess (8) therein for partially closing round the boilie (2) and wherein the bottom of the first recess (8) is provided with a hole (9) extending to the underside (10) of the first part. The second part comprises a substantially flat underside (11) with at least one second recess (12) therein for closing round the part of the boilie (2) not closed around by the recess (8) in the first part, wherein the bottom of the second part is provided with a borehole (13) which extends to the upper side of the second part and which provides access and guiding for the hand drill (3). Tests have shown that the chance of breaking apart during drilling of a hole (9) in the boilie (2) is hereby limited to a minimum. The same advantage applies when a rod-like material is arranged in the hole (9) drilled in the boilie (2) in order to impart buoyancy to the boilie (2). The method comprises a number of steps for providing a boilie (2) with a drilled hole (9) and providing the drilled hole (9) with a rod-like material using the device. [Image Omitted]
