Try the Enterprise counterbalanced artificial dog biscuits. Had some great catches on these.

What is the lenght of the line from the controller to your hook ?

I use fireline braid as my main line due to its floating capabilities and pick when a fish takes. For the hook length i use about 8 foot of 8Ib Krystonite. The controler varies in size depending on distace required.
The main thing is to get them feeding confidently if they are rolling takes all the better than sipping takes as the are more confident. Hope this helps

Another giveaway is drag - if a crosswind is dragging your line the bait will move at a different speed to the freebies.

Tenchy. Not being sure of the venues you fish its not easy to generalise but have you considered trying the pole. This way you can fish with all your line off the water and you can just hold your bait touching the water. The takes are usually ferocious and selfhooking. Furthermore its as often as not the big ones that take. Bread and dogbiscuits are both baits that work well with this method and with minimum tackle needed it may be worth you giving it a try because the thrill when the poletip plunges down has to be felt to be believed. Best of luck from Mick.
Thanks Michael, My brother uses the pole and has also suggested i do this, he fishes in Fish o Mania and came 6th the other week, he did come to where i fish and tried with the pole without success, as soon as he changed back to rod n reel he caught on floating biscuit whci really pissed me off.
