Mega Micro Pellets! 

Jamie Harrison & your goodself put so much effort in to your informative videos that the end result is always great advise in a clear understandable way that even an older 'experienced' angler like myself learns loads...very much apreciated Jon....Cheers.

Great video jon, really informative and you even answered a question i had for how to prepare pellets for in the edge so thanks for that 👍

Good job you're better at prepping pellets than making tea😂

Very informative. Thanks for the help Jon.

So many ways to prepare great pellets. Thanks Jon. Information noted for next match. Cheers

Great video Jon, love these types of videos showing how you top guys prep. 👍

Top drawer stuff Jon, learnt so much. Stay safe and thanks

Top tips again Jon thanks

Good stuff Jon Thank you

Nice video Jon. Thanks. And have a great weekend. 👍🐳🤑

Great advice Jon and exactly how I do mine 👍👍

Well prepared pellets shame about the tea. 🤣🤣

Good to see your back in good health mate Great video

Great tips Jon! Never done the brick method before. Will try it out on my fisheries 3mm's. You might be a Michelin star pellet chef.... 👍But your teas looked a bit anemic 😮😂

Love the tub method Jon but the other methods also have their use as you wonderfully explained, great vid Jon as usual, I like my tea so can stand spoon in it. 😅

well done Jon.. legend

Very good advice on pellet prep...thanks....but terrible tea making...!...hope your feeling better Jon...

I pretty much always do my pellets over night. Air tight container, pellets to the top of the pot, cover with water and put them in the fridge overnight. Just don’t forget to pick them up! 😂😂

Hilarious Jon with the tea 🤣 Still find best way is to put 650g Stikki pellets in a 1.1 litre clip secure close tub pour water in until just level with top of pellets, clip lid tightly on and fridge over night. The tub restricts the pellets blowing and I assume the pressure evens out to force moisture around even through all pellets. Just takes a bit of effort to knock them out next day. See NuFish video from Mick…

I like to mash the tea bag against the mug with the spoon a few times to force the water through it, get as much as possible from it, then add milk until the colour's right.

Nearly as many bites over the PG Tips as you'll get over those micros Jon 😂

Playing with fire there daft lad in the boss’s kitchen 😀 Was that yellow syrup banana flavour? Didn’t quite catch the label 😂 Cheers 🍻 👍🍌

Brilliant vid mate.won’t get Copens from now on.Thanks Jon.😃😃

Thanks Jon good format and clear. Would you keep any unused pellets for another day, and if so how would you keep them, or don't they keep?

Tea bag first, the squeeze before milk, unless you like nats piss.🙈🤷🏽great video John

Nice video mate and some great advice on prepping them I was just wondering as I only fish canals and the odd small pool since I got back into the sport is if they would work added to a canal ground bait once there prepared as I've thought about trying pellets to see if the bream will take them but not got round to it yet as not sure and can you prepare the bigger sizes the same for hook bait or use a different type of pellet

I'm afraid my favourite brand of pellets are no longer available, they were ready in 3-5 minutes. Maybe they were the same skrettings, but they were superb. If I have a fair amount left over, I will dry them completely and when I mix them the second time I add a tablespoon or so of Horlicks after draining them to make them sticky or add a little syrup flavouring. I might try that brick method though sometime.

Hi John, Since I've used pellets, pretty much since the advent of Commercial fisheries in the early 90's I've only ever used Skretting's Micro Pellets (Direct from Scotland 25kg bags). Coppen's just don't seem to take on any additives at all (including Water??). One of my favorite tricks is to take a 1/2 a 3.3pt tub and pour scolding water straight from the kettle onto them. (then whilst hot add scopex or "other").. It practically reduces them to what I call "Smulch". Bottom of the far shelf but above the silt line.. This can be deadly for the better stamp F1's & Carp.... Just keep angling the way you do, but give them some treats... (I roll the Smulch balls into whatever shape i want, then add them to my introduction feed)... I've had several 200-400lb weights at Heronbrook & Barston using this method... Fish everywhere else as you would, but instead of a throwaway line, I make it a Smulch line.... Won me more money against morons than you could imagine John!!!😂😂

Well done, you do sound a bit like your old self and hopefully back to full fitness. Great vid Jon and made to look very easy

Great video on pellets Jon but your not going to secretly convince people about the tea bag prep 🧐....No milk before the water or you'll end up with a clogged tea bag and weak tea 🤣👍.

Would you consider doing a video on grondbait method feeder as sometimes when I use a small method feeder when I press it out of the mould half of it stays in the mould and I have to start again

The milk should never go in first lol

Coppens typically are harder and take longer to break down

Boy your great with micros Jon, but leave the tea making we'll alone 😪😪🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great tips mate but i will pass on the Cup of Tea 😂

Had the mushy issue at Tunnel barn earlier this year, with their pellets, micros and 4mm turning to mush. How do you get round this?

great advice buddy........ erm........ let me know how those sausausausauseges went haha

Any tips Jon on how you would prepare fishery pellets? Thanks

Hi Jon, Hope the chest is better. Need a favour! I’m a club match angler and my start to the year has been shocking. We fish a different venue each month. My next match is on Moody Molands at Packington. I need at least a section win to pull in some points. Fishing it on Sunday 11th June. Heard there are F1’s in there and never fished an F1 venue ever! Any tips you can share so I can start prepping rigs and planning some kind of strategy? Is it a snake lake or more open water? Depth? Best tactics / bait etc. Thank you for your time.

Hi John . Have you ever tried method ready pellets ?

Pellet prep tutorial < Tea prep tutorial

I use an old tub with small holes in.

Hi Jonny,is it the same process with the very small 1mm pellets?

With method would you advise for skimmer fishing?

Do you ever make paste fro micros

Milk and tea bag again in the cup. Dreadful behaviour. 😅

Can you do the same for 4 & 6 mm’s?

I am aghast - you should leave the tea bag in for at least two minutes, then add milk.

I only keep my 2mm pellets in the water for 1 min only. Any longer, I find they go slushy. Doing overnight is a good idea.

Tea is an infusion, it needs boiling water to release the flavour. Milk should not be involved while the tea bag is still in the cup👍🙄 On another point, I’ve always found coppens are darker and breakdown less than a skretting. Is it different with the micros compared to the bigger pellets? I know coppens do make a pale pellet but the variety of coppens most fisheries use are actually darker than skrettings🤔

Putting milk in first prevents brewing, and how do you know how much milk to to put in?Like fishing you cannot take out what you have put in.

I put my leftover pellets in the freezer as I get home and they still stick enough to use them next fishing trip

Doing them in the tub, are they good for all types of fishing i.e pole edge and method.

Jon , your doing it wrong ! put your hot water in the cup with the tea bag and then wait 5 mins . Dont squeeze the bag before taking it out and then add your milk . Now that a really good cuppa !!!

Always milk FIRST....not later or last...

Milk in with the teabag!! no!

Trigger warning ! This video contains crimes against tea.

Pellets 10/10. Tea 1/10

You may know how to prepare pellets Jon but your tea making is abysmal. The water must be as hot as possible to infuse the tea but, adding cold milk at the same time just lowers the temperature.
