Guest bullterrier Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 for what you catch i don't think £4.50 a bad price compered to the price of maggots and worms i personly like the rainbow and green in pellet form or the paste .. ...john Quote Link to post
THE GRIFF 8 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Try mixing it with another paste to make it last you longer. I have mixed it with pellet paste(crushed up trout pellets and water), sometimes this can be a killer bait on its day and better than powerbait on its own. Mixing it like this also stops it from floating so you can fish it on the bottom. If you still want it to float then just hair rig a piece of cork and wrap the mixed paste around it. Also try a worm injected with air with a small bit of powerbait moulded around the eye of the hook, it looks like a giant tadpole swimming in the water, this is also a killer method on its day. You can experiment using different pastes Quote Link to post

jack crowley 5 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 does power bait only work on stocked lakes Quote Link to post
midnight walker 8 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 does power bait only work on stocked lakes i hvent caught anything other than rainbow with it the power bait gulp pink eggs are the best i have tried i prefer the fly for wild brownies but for rainbow anything goes Quote Link to post
THE GRIFF 8 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have caught Brownies when using worm and powerbait together, but I think it is aimed at rainbows when used by its self. I have also caught carp using powerbait as a surface bait on the pole and stalking the margins behind reedbeds at a few different venues. Quote Link to post
nakednutt 58 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 any power bait works. bigger the better. the smaller already made balls are to soft as you need to work it a bit more before you use it. Quote Link to post
