What to do with 25 kg of pellets

[PIKE AND PERCH HUNTER]

i have 25 kg of pellets and i will use them for adding to groundbait and spodding.

Is there anything else i can do with these pellets

 

[Gav Barbus]

You could grind them down to make pellet powder,for groundbait or paste,make sticks with it.You could put them in pva bags and set little traps for carp.Less is more sometimes with these things.

i was gonna say the same make a paste ad some flavours and hand roll them and boil themthen u got boilies that match ur freeoferings it wont cost u a fortune either make sure u roll them barrel shape or pellet that should work a treat i do the same sort of thing but i use sticky baits pellets and use there boilie pellets on the hair its a sweet trick

KOOL THANKS

but if i make a paste and boil it wont it turn mushy in the water as this once happend before.

 

[daniel fox]

no mate if u make the paste with eggs it will hold and go firm only boil then for 45 sec,s

 

[PIKE AND PERCH HUNTER]

ok thanks

 

[daniel fox]

let me know how u get on

I was once told only to use the egg white and not the yoke as it binds better. Ive been doing it ever since when making paste up with pellets and adding a little water plus I always put cornflower in with it, gives it a better texture and never goes sticky, moulds firm on the hook too.

Make a paste using the whole eggs and hand roll it into boilies AS BIG AS YOU CAN for cats. 25mm is not uncommon. You might add a little salt to the mix and a tiny drop of flavouring, crab or something. Boil them for 2-3 minutes, a bit of trial and error is needed.

Dry them on a wire tray, a maggot riddle is useful. Freeze until required.

Alternatively, feed them to the goldfish in the neighbour's garden pond and then try fishing with 'proper' baits.

Pellets: the bait of the devil.

What size pellets are they mate.

 

[PIKE AND PERCH HUNTER]

UMMMM... 8mm

 

[Bryan Baron 2]

Good size.

Can be used on the hook.

Placed in a food processor. Large bowl with blades. This will break them into diffrent sizes which can be added to groundbait giving diffrent break down times.

A trick i use on the river for barbel is to grind as above and then add veg oil instead of water and use in a feeder. If a big cast is needed then had a bit of groundbait.

The reason for the oil is any left at the end of the session will not go of and can be stored for the next session. If water is used then it will go mouldy.

If making paste a old coffee grinder is better than a food processor. They can be picked up new for around £20 or from car boots or church jumbles from a few quid. This will save hassel from the parents when using there expensive kitchen food processor.
