Making your own homemade method mix can be a brilliant way of matching your feed to your bait. If you don’t want to try making your own there are a lot of very good high quality ready mixed method mixes out there. It is a blessing and a curse that there are so many great products readily available to us in modern fishing, it is a blessing because there is a huge variety of quality Bait available to use but at the same time it is making some of the old skills of making your own baits, groundbaits, etc disappear into the deep and distant past.

The way a method mix works is that you put some of the the method mix onto a specially designed weighted method feeder, then place your bait on top of the packed method mix, place a bit more method mix on the top of your bait, pack it all down tightly and the cast out to your swim. The fish will peck away at the method mix until eventually your bait will be released (you can use any bait but pop up baits on a short hair work best) at which point it will hopefully attract an instant response off one of the fish and they will take your bait and your rod will hoop round.

The next ingredient is 2mm pellets now there are a a huge variety of pellets available from high oil halibut pellets to high protein green
lipped mussel pellets the choice really is up to you. You could even add a few floating pellets into the mix to give the fish something to chase when it gets released from the mix. Use around 10% pellets in your mix.

Finally use 40% of groundbait or if you make your own boilies you could use your base mix again the choice is down to you.
