hi,how many of you would leave the pellits at home and fish with another bait.
or do you think its the bait par excellence,and not worth going fishing,unless you have pellits with you.derek. |

Derek,
I finally bit the bullet last season and I have to say, fished along side a boilie that I had every confidence in, the pellets won hands down! ........but this season I have a cunning plan.............and the pellets will be left at home  Darren. PS Which book did you go for in the end? |

Next season im not going to bother much with pellets, although the fish addore them they are also cautios of them once they have been caught on them a few time. Although it is alot more expensive i am going to be fishing with particle baits next and natural baits, because there are very few on my river that dont fish with pellets.

the main reson that im going to be using naturals is how often does a barbel naturally see a pellets or boilie falling in the river off the pellet or boilie tree
 and if u compare it with the ammount of grubs and worms and other natural baits then you will be able to why they often take them without hesitation.Rob |

I find that small pellets are great at attracting fish but "trimmed/apple cored" boilies and big lob worms are better on the hook. I find that the fish crush the pellet of the hair more easily than they do a softer boilie. I must admit that a lot of chub live in my swims so probably not a fair comment when applied to rivers with larger barbel populations.
I would never go river fishing without a mixture of 1mm & 3mm stim pellets to throw in, it would be like carp fishing without a method mix. |

hi,john,they will be there alright,but after a session last season of the barbel not picking up the pellets,due to the fact[i think of a large amount of pellets further downstream from another anglers session]that where lying on the bottom,and being ignored,which is why ime going to try a different approach.cheers derek.

Hi all,
I will be using pellets and boillies this year(as I have for the last 4 seasons).On my part of the Kennet I think they see so many pellets that they think there a natural food But I will be using a ground bait feeder more this season. Rich
