Just a quick question. A tapered pattern obviously means a slow drop so the fish could come up in the water to get the pellet. If you don't want the fish coming up in the water, why not use a bulk shotting pattern to get the pellet down quicker?
Apart from all the advantages listed, for a newbie like me, the time spent sorting tangles is minimal and the amount of lost end tackle , especially near trees, the same.
Used to use drilled halibut pellets tipped with arti-corn on a lake with a boilie ban. The carp loved them through the warmer months,only problem was getting through the small bream.
Would you put any oil on your pellets when fishing a pellet waggler approach? I usually just use them straight out the bag, but feel like a bit of oil slick off the pellets could help pull fish into the swim.
Guys what is the draw for Pole fishing? I just don’t see the appeal? I understand for match fishing and for speed you will want it as an advantage to get fish in fast but for social time and fishing for fun I just don’t see how you can beat the enjoyment of a reel and how you play a fish on one over a length of rubber? Not meaning to offend any pole fishermen just generally very interested to know what you find appealing about it please.
You can get species like carp into the landing net much quicker also the quickest bites are easier to hit ending normally with the hook In the top lip and easy to unhook. With a rod and reel, trying to keep your bait in one place in a wind or a lake with :tow: is very difficult
