There was a recent thread singing the praises of expander pellets for bream - on the pole. I don't have a pole and would ledger, but I like the idea of using pellet for bream in a weir pool near me. I assume on the ledger I'd need to use hard pellet drilled through, and mounted on a hair? I'd welcome any advice on this.

I use hard pellets by superglueing two together, trapping the hair from the hair rig in between them.

I mount a bait band on a hair and attach pellets to this. I always take a bit of hacksaw blade to cut a groove around the pellet for the band to 'sit in' - stays on better if you have to cast plus you can be pretty sure the bait is still on if you miss a knock...
