jmilam08 193 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 alright everyone just after a bit of help if anyone can.I was fishing today only on a small lake so there was no mad distance casting just little flicks of the rod and still my pellets just seemed to slip of after about five minites of being in the water.Can some one help with any decent pellet names to by because basiclly this seems to be the only thing catching over there at the minite.Another thing i was using the same stops on the bottom of my hair that i would use for a boile stop, is that where im going wrong.cheers if anyone can help.

I have no problem keeping them on the hair, just the fish have no interest i was using the esp drill set.tried 8 and 10 mm pellets but couldnt keep them for long enough.i think it was the standard of pellet because few others i think had same problem, but the fish go mad for the 10mm on alittle bed of smaller ones so wana get it right.
