Hey all, long time no see.

 

Its been a while - actually didnt fish once last year due to acquiring new motorbike which took all my sunny Sunday mornings - since I last fished and so I decided to have an afternoons fishing yesterday at a lovely, local mill pond.

 

Its a cracking little spot with a huge mass of roach, decent bream and some nice carp. The roach, averaging half pound are great to catch but can be a bit bothersome on the maggot and worm. Im keen to give it another go next time and try for some of the larger roach which go to about 1.5lbs and some of the carp and bream.

 

I tried some pellets but I really cant hook them. I have a pole but prefer rod and line and in a place like this, I would most definately prefer to use the Okuma centrepin as you either fish in the margins or a short fling out.

 

Apart from the hard pellets, can someone advise a really good soft hooker pellet, suitable for rod, hook size and method.

 

I know it sounds daft but I have loads of soft hookers which I have bought over the years and nonse are suitable for anything other than groundbait or chucking in as they are just too soft and impossible to hook without breaking up. I also dont want the hassle or hairing a hard pellet each time.

 

Answers on a postcard.

Sonubaits S Pellets are a very good soft pellet and can go direct on a hook or hair rigged. I tend to find the 11mm the best, soft enough to directly hook but tuff enough to stay on. They go smaller and bigger depending on what species you are after.

i second that:

sonubaits make some good hookable pellets; look for their "tiger fish feed" range

you might also look for "ringers" which come with a smaller pellet and a larger pellet in a small tub

http://www.leslies-luton.co.uk/store/produ...T-PELLET-4-6mm/

 

the sonubaits one tend to be a bit hard but do stay on the hook very well, the ringers are alot softer but prone to coming off the hook if they are being pestered by smaller fish like roach etc

the sonubaits tiger feeds will stand up to a good bit of nibbling beofre a carp or larger fish takes them.
