i'd go for bottom baits, but they will be different textures and bouyancy, depending where they were (closer to the edge will normally float more). whisk the eggs, fold in the mix and abuse the microwave and you'll definately get pop-ups!

depends on the baits though....

Woody/Frothey........or any other soul

Trout Pellets.....so if they work(and its within the confines of this Thread)how does one go about making a paste bait with Trout pellets(starting with the basic pellet)which I assume is ground to a powder??

I have no real desire to make boilies as such,but I do like to use paste baits(all of which I do make myself)and which I normally mould around a small cork ball on the hair.....and very successful they are too....!

As this a well tried bait(almost out of date I suppose)I imagine the mix has been on this Website for years-in which case please point me in the right direction....

I'm not the quickest at taking up different baits so please be patient with this'old boy'....

Thanks

trout pellet

grind to a powder

add water until stiff, add an egg if you want it to last longer.

don't forget that's how boilies started off, they were just lightly "skinned" to stop nuisance fish pecking away at them.

Long before Dynamite started selling Halibut Boilies, Frothey's method was the only way I could make them. Halibut pellets though and I used to add the egg, make a paste, roll some up into balls and drop them into boiling water for 1½ minutes so they'd be thick skinned.

You could just use the paste on your cork balls. Simple.

John Wilson featured pellet paste in one programme. Same method, with eggs I think.
