Pellets
Pellets are sold in 4, 8, 10, 12,14,16, 18 and 20mm sizes. The originals were designed for rearing Trout, Salmon and Halibut on fish farms, but they have proved very effective for course fish, notably Carp. Pellets can be float fished, legered and combined with feeder tackle, particularly Method feeders. These are mainly bait for Carp venues but their use is spreading on canals and Bream waters.
Pellets are a prime Carp and Bream bait but other species like Tench and silver fish soon take a liking to them. You can combine pellets with Bollies, Sweetcorn and Hemp.
These baits are now out selling maggots in many areas.I have been using pellets for the last couple of years and I have caught some very nice fish. You can buy these in bulk, which is by far the cheapest way to by them. |
