There will be too many criteria for this but I will give it a go. I have never used pellets or a hair rig come to that, just never liked the idea but that's not saying I think it is wrong, it catches plenty of fish obviously.
So a pellet for rivers mainly, bream, roach, tench etc, possibly does not attract eels would be good so something non fishy or meaty however, prepared to give anything a go. For 14-12 hooks, soft, can stay in the bottom of my tackle bag and not go off once opened although I would not mind putting in the fridge if necessary just that I want something that lives in the bag and can be used anytime I run out of bait and not be forgotten to take with me.
I was in the tackle shop yesterday topping up bits and asked the bloke about it and he sold me a box of 8mm sonubaits halihookers, they are black and smell nice, a bit fishy though, no hole in the middle and soft but I do not know how long they will last once opened or what they contain, no list of ingredients. I usually have a tin of sweet corn in my bag but they are hit and miss and thought of trying something different.
Mostly I fish unfished rivers with wild fish so no time to educate fish, therefore, something they might smell and recognize as food readily.
Lots of criteria but anything near and doesn't have to be pellets come to think of it but, easy buy and no preparation and works-any recommendations? Thanks.
