Pellet paste

[Norfolkdan]

Can anyone tell me how to make a paste out of 6mm halibut pellets?

 

Cheers, Dan

Crush the pellets and mix them two part pellets to one part semolina/cornflour. Steadily add water until you get a mix that is just a bit softer than you require for your hook bait. Leave it for 10-15 minutes and it should be spot on. If not just add semolina/cornflour/water until it's right.

Works well.

Cheers

Alternatively, cover with boiling water and leave till soft, mash and mix with trout pellet powder or the groundbait of your choice - works for me!

Im banned from any bait prep for the next 12 months after experimenting with halibut pellet paste in the kitchen. The Mrs was most unimpressed with the fishy smell... :-(

Can't you do it outside from the kitchen? :confused: or the garden or the garage? Then you don't get blame for the fishy smell If that don't work then you have to trained your missus to like the fishy smell

Well to be fair I wasnt quite expecting THAT much stink myself. I will be doing it all in the shed from now on

Brought some paste with me on a really hot day and forgot to put it in the shade, it turned to sh*te. Will freeze it next time and keep it in a cool bag when it thaws.

SLUK... just wait until you complain about the horsey smells your wife leaves in the car after she's been riding. Don't get mad, get even

You can also make paste by adding the pellet powder to an egg white, add a little at a time as it's easy to over do it. You can add flavouring to the egg white if you like. When you think you've got the mix right sprinkle a tiny amount of corn flour on it and knead it until all the air is out and freeze it until required.
