walshie 2,804 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Poisonous! Blooming heck. Are they common? They're quite safe as long as you don't hold them with your bare fingers. I don't know how common they are now, but the rivers used to be full of them when I was a kid. They'd always get to your bait before anything decent. Quote Link to post
