Match Fishing Magazine's Joe Carass runs you through the awesome pellet waggler technique. A great fishing tactic for the summer months when carp are the target, be that in a pleasure session or when on an important match.
I was knackered just watching you Joe , I do quite a lot of pellet wag myself on my club lakes and others with great suckses . tight lines Joe, keep them coming fella,
I've done this on my club water which holds loads of F1's as well as commons mirrors and chub, caught all 4 species on this method. I used smaller pellets, 4mm both for feed and on the hook I used a Drennan Red Range 11ft pellet feeder rod and a Daiwa Sweepfire reel. It worked very well! I'll be trying it again next time out
very helpful video. I've recently inherited my dad's fishing gear, he was a very keen match angler. he had several pellet waggler rods, I was a little unsure how to use the gear correctly, I feel more confident now. thank you
devasting method in the summer! ive had 200ib bags on the pellet wagg! another good method 2 fish when fishing the pellet waggler is the bomb and pellet. i find your a nick a few fish off the deck :-)
Personally has just completely put me off the pellet waggler method. But good video mate, instructive and looks a great method for beginners. And a great idea if have rod set on the bottom and are waiting keep you active. I active angler is a good angler
Would it be better to feed smaller pellet (wind and distance permitted)for the sake of slower sink rate especially when casting over the feed?...Great video BTW
hey joe sorry pal how come your fishing with a stronger hooklength mate wouldnt you use stronger main line and weaker hooklength so you dont lose your float if you get snapped
on my main fishing water the depht is 1.2 / 0.8m. how deep should i fish whit pellet wagler to start session. what do you recomand me? ( sry for my english)
It really all depends on what fishery your on and conditions being the main focus. Obviously fishing the pellet waggler you don't want a strong wind in your face but in match situations you cannot control this. That being said if you have the wind in your face and it's pellet waggler weather then you will need a bigger 8 to 12 ml pellets and obviously halibut pellets are heavier than course pellets but course pellets are alot lighter but to make course pellets heavier just frequently keep filling a separate bait box and running a wet hand through them to take on a little water making them heavier. On other days with the wind off your back you can use course pellets in 4 ml as you really want to fish to where you can feed your pellets easily. Course pellets are normally the choice of pellets as they don't sink as fast as a high oil pellet. I hope this helps 👍
i stopped match fishing 8 years ago on 'commercials'..i got bored because fishing hadnt moved on at all...it still hasnt...same old techniques..just jazzed up by new equipment
+Match Fishing Films How come you say the main line in pounds and the hook length in mm? Similar thing with rods and poles. You buy rods in feet, ie 12/13/14/ft And poles/landing net poles in metres. No wonder people get confused!
I have never fished this method and this video did not include basic info- how to put on and take off tight line stops ..had to wait till near the end to see see the hook,, hair rig, pellet attachment,- would have been better to show this at the start
