Big pellets hair rigged

[TF_One fish]

With a lot of venues holding big carp hook pellets are getting larger, what size/type of pellets do you use and what about the drilled boilies?. I am not keen on fishing the snowman although I have had a dabble on double 8mms.Mostly for use on the lead but tips for the pole would also be good.Any advice welcome.

phil you catch far too many fish as it is.

Not if big pellets are needed, I think its because they fill up my holdall too quickly so I never use them. ( until now ! )

Does the lack of replies mean everyone knows as little as me??

I give in, back to the caster!!!! How am I supposed to learn about these modern methods.Gave in with the snowman as they melt, double 8s make a nice helicopter.Looks like back to the clonk.

hi phil
just lasso them to a 14 ,either 8mm or 10mm or super glue 2 together works well.

one fish, on the thames ille use 2×15 or 21s hair rigged using catapult laccy as bait bands pulled through big enough lol

i use skrettings mainly, but have used some dynamite baits ones as well. i was using skrettings 11mils down viaduct the other week when i saw you there.

i usually hair a band cos i was finding lassoos were becoming a pain coming undone or breaking in the net tied to a 12 drennan carp feeder barbless for 11mils and a size 14 for 8mils. As for boiles i use ringers 8mils whites mostly but sometimes reds. I use a 16 drennan carp feeder barbless with a bayonet for these.

I have been catching f1’s on 8 and 10mm’s around the pound to two mark, wondered if I should be going 12 to 14 for bigger carp or double baits?

[wales4eva]

you’ve been drinking phil,your a proper angler lol

[TF_One fish]

You may be right, a few pints and I think I can try any method.Really need to get some confidence in this big pellet fishing, mainly because I hate it.

[SteveS]

Dunno about that mate could just be whats in your peg…. they must be hungry to take that size of pellet/boilie, I was catching 8oz skimmers on 8mil boilies on a local lake last yr.

you could sit it out on a big bait and miss out on the smaller weight building fish that are willing to feed in your peg whilst your doing it?….. do you not catch any proper carp in amongst them?

[TF_One fish]

At the stafford fisho sat behind my mate for the last hour or so, he went down the edge on hard 8mm’s feeding the same.Five carp and then roach and skimmers killed him, changed to 10’s and increased the feed no better.I could not get my head around that.

[wales4eva]

will give you a bell this week mate

[SteveS]

were the carp still in his peg though?
