        ok here goes

        im having serious problems with expanders for the hook
        size 6mm and 4 mm
        i
        ve used ringers and baitech but i find that even after the most carefull of preperation they either split of float which is annoying baitech pellets grow to an 8mm if left unatended in water
        ive scolded left them in cold water for a few minutes

        i think ive done just about everything
        anyone know of a decent robust pellet that can be pumped easily and flavoured if required

          Pump em night before, drain most water off until bout 5-10mm above pellets, empty into a freezer bag, squeeze air out and tie.
          In fridge and by next morning spot on

            Dynamite swim stim carp pellets, Pro Expanders , Amino Original. Is all the bumf on the packets . Paul Bick told me they were good and he’s right . They only need a minute after pumping . Blot them on kitchen roll and bag em , Either tight in the bag or slightly loose depending on your needs . They don’t split and you can ship them out quick . I used them for skimmers as I don’t carp fish a great deal but they are very good . 😉

                    ian your terrible but going to barnburgh this week
                    now this its a venue where a few of the big boys could learn how to look after anglers
                    £5 per peg pellets £2 per bag (i think)
                    and its stuffed i mean stuffed with fish
                    a bad 5 minutes in the match and youve lost its as simple as that
                    i guess i will try the other pellets i realy dont know whats going wrong with the other companies
                    the pellets were fine now they are not rather frustrating

                      sorry had to do it but which lake r u on?i know everything u need to know about the place i come off the place in april cos it just turns into a daft race,forget soft pellets on there now banded 4mms in a lasso not band is the way if on bottom jigga on top kit,middle jigga on 13m+ line n top is 13m jigga, Ryes the man on there thro summer cos he loves shalla fishing forget about fishing on the deck its pointless youll get linered out even on ya first drop
                      thats y i dont think its all about fish welfare at lindholme u can go there n empty ya van full of meat in barnbro n mark wouldnt mind cos its about catching fish not making money thro pellet sales,also if barnbro sell pellets for £2 then y does lindholme sell them for £2.50 they come from same wholesalers for same amount
                      by the way if ya want a good non splitting expander try a van den eyne 4mm elite
