Using and making paste

[fish_surrey]

I've been invited to a little match with some friends of mine and when I asked what would be the best bait to use, I was told paste. I've never used this as a bait before and was wondering how to make it and how to use it? All advise would be appreciated.

You can buy it ready made (not cheap) - see a little way down this page: http://www.harrisonstackle.com/acatalog/On..._Baits_253.html

 

Or you can just knock some up by mixing some green Swim Stim (or other fishmeal) groundbait with a little water. It won't stand up to casting, though, so you'll either have to fish it on a pole, or in the margins if you're using a rod and waggler.

Short crust pastry / crushed Halibut pellets, add crushed pellets to pastry & work to a stiff consistency...hmmm lovely.

 

Alternatively, add curry powder to Dens secret mix (kept me catching for years did good old curried sausage meat )
