Used to use drilled halibut pellets tipped with arti-corn on a lake with a boilie ban. The carp loved them through the warmer months,only problem was getting through the small bream.
Would you put any oil on your pellets when fishing a pellet waggler approach? I usually just use them straight out the bag, but feel like a bit of oil slick off the pellets could help pull fish into the swim.
Apart from all the advantages listed, for a newbie like me, the time spent sorting tangles is minimal and the amount of lost end tackle , especially near trees, the same.
Just a quick question. A tapered pattern obviously means a slow drop so the fish could come up in the water to get the pellet. If you don't want the fish coming up in the water, why not use a bulk shotting pattern to get the pellet down quicker?
It’s a tapered bulk. All the shot is near the hook (except for the 'trimming' shot just under the float) but the 'bulk' is just spread out. This WILL get down quickly but by spreading it out the sensitivity is improved. The fish feels the shot nearest to the hook first so it’s important to make this shot as light as possible yet still capable of giving an indication on the bristle. It is very important to dot the float down so that the last shot registers. Also, because the shot is dotted right down the additional weight of the pellet will just sink the tip too. Resting the pellet on the deck gives absolutely precise bite registration.
Guys what is the draw for Pole fishing? I just don’t see the appeal? I understand for match fishing and for speed you will want it as an advantage to get fish in fast but for social time and fishing for fun I just don’t see how you can beat the enjoyment of a reel and how you play a fish on one over a length of rubber? Not meaning to offend any pole fishermen just generally very interested to know what you find appealing about it please.
You can get species like carp into the landing net much quicker also the quickest bites are easier to hit ending normally with the hook In the top lip and easy to unhook. With a rod and reel, trying to keep your bait in one place in a wind or a lake with :tow: is very difficult
Very good Video Steve. Very useful tips for tightening up presentation and bite detection. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it. I hope the information helps a few anglers. Regards, Steve.

It certainly wouldn't do any harm, try a couple of liquids and test the results. Regards, Steve.
Great video there Steve as always, but where was you this time?
Thanks Phil, This was filmed at Meadow Farm Cottages. Regards, Steve.

Great to see what you should do if the fish come off the bottom and you start missing bites. 👏👏
It's always a danger with this method, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Regards, Steve.
Thx for vid 👍
Whys steve not in any big finals 🤔
Hahah, I keep asking myself the same question... It's not from lack of trying, maybe next year! Regards, Steve.

It’s to create a fluent curve in the rig Jamie Hughes perfected it it keeps the whole rig tight

Try holding a float steady at 3ft deep in 6ft of water up to 16 m out . Just one of numerous advantages

@@Thaspy-br4hr agreed i guess if you are trying for fish in the middle depth and the ones up you can at least hold it over them.
Try putting you float in the same place within 1 or 2 inches every cast. . And it is ever cast ...
Video great as always.
