Pellet waggler tips
There are some situations when you can get away with simply casting in and waiting for a bite, but fishing the pellet waggler certainly isn’t one of these to get the best out of this tactic you will have yo follow these simple pellet waggler tips. Tommy Pickering reveals the four-step routine he follows to keep fish coming thick and fast when using this deadly approach.
1) Place the rod on the rests and catapult out 12 pellets to your target zone. Use 6mm pellets when you are after a mixture of carp and F1s, stepping up to 8mm pellets when carp are the main species.
2) Put down the catty and immediately cast directly over where you have fed. The best type of float when fishing at a range of less than 35m is a Preston Dura Wag carrying between 3g and 5g.
3) Once the float has landed, do not move it an inch. The fish will come and investigate the noise created by the float entering the water, so moving it even slightly will take it away from the area towards which the fish are heading.
4) Expect to get a bite within 10 seconds. If you don’t, repeat the feed/cast sequence. The hookbait looks at its most natural as it is falling through the water, but once it has stopped in midwater you are highly unlikely to get a bite.
