Commercial Fishing Tips | Top five tips for expander pellets with Bob Nudd
On the bank, keep them damp but not overwetted. Make sure they don’t dry out, otherwise they’ll float.
Use a decent-sized hook – a size 16 or 14 – and hook the pellet through the round outer rim.
If the pellets have dried out a bit, have another small tub of water by your side and give a hooked one a little squeeze to push the air out.
Try colouring them by adding a little liquid or powdered colouring to the water in the pump. Red and yellow work.
If you don’t get a bite on one size of pellet, try another. You’ll be surprised what a difference this small change can make.
