Bait-tech big carp method mix (krill and tuna) has proved extremely effective for me in the past for tench, crucians and bream. It holds together really well if mixed right which can make a huge amount of difference in 10ft+ deep swims where less tacky mixes will tend to fall apart before it reaches the bottom, it also allows you to put a few goodies in like corn, hemp and/or pellet without destabilising it. Dynamite halibut is my back up if I can't get my usual stuff, not quite as sticky and I do feel that not having krill in the mix is slightly detrimental but still got a lot of faith in it.
Looking forward to more videos especially with the way things are at the moment!!... at times I do wonder what rods & reels you use for your targeted species.
Many thanks for your comment. I'm using the Preston Innovations large feeder and mould - I've no association with them, I just use them because I find them the easiest to use. Best wishes, Paul
Pretty difficult to give any firm advice on this to be honest. You will probably find the tench more willing to feed close in during the warmer months, say from April to September, but I would never discount the margins, especially if they are more than four feet deep and with cover, such as overhanging trees, or weed / lily pads. Features out in the lake, such as gravel bars are, in effect, pretty much the same as the margins. So try I can't give you any better advice! Best wishes, Paul
As long as it is proper krill powder Andrew - some additives are just krill flavoured, then you won't go far wrong. I've used several different brands and to be honest it all looks very similar to me.
Haith's Super Tench is another good shout, really good stuff with plenty of particle, great for the method.
I've not tried that one, but they do make some great products. I'll check it out - thanks for the tip.

Been looking for a good tench groundbait, I’ll give this a go when we can get out again cheers 👍
Cheers Kenny, best of luck! Paul
A very good tutorial Paul thank you for sharing it with us. What is the make of the mould and the feeder?

Thanks Paul I will give the feeders a try.
Well done Paul hopefully we can all get out soon 😊👍
Thanks Roy, hope you are good mate? Best wishes, Paul
I think most of us never stayed in
Hi Paul, could you mention in a video when it's best to fish close in or when it's best to fish further out?

Hi, what the best grondbaiting tactic when the tench are feeding natural food ?
Who does the best krill powder ? Many companys do it .
As long as it is proper krill powder Andrew - some additives are just krill flavoured, then you won't go far wrong. I've used several different brands and to be honest it all looks very similar to me.
Whilst we can always learn.. when did preparing groundbait start sounding like a cooking programme??
