Soft Hooker Pellets
WHAT THEY SAY: Created with input from three-times Fish O’ champ Jamie Hughes, these new Soft Hooker Pellets come in Catalyst, Classic Corn, GO2 F1, Green Betaine and Sweet Meat flavours, all with matching colours and in 6mm and 8mm sizes. The GO2F1 pellets are also available in 4mm. They won’t split when being side-hooked.
WHAT WE SAY: Oozing attraction and flavour, these perfect hooker pellets are of a consistent size and texture and should attract lots of bites at your local commercial fishery this summer.
Price: £2.99
Commercial Groundbaits
WHAT THEY SAY: Green Betaine and Hemp Blend are genuine, all-round mixes specifically for use on commercials. They’re tasty enough to keep fish feeding for long spells.
They have a balanced feed content that includes betaine attractants and aromas, and can be used with feeder, pole and waggler tactics.
WHAT WE SAY: Although branded as Commercial Groundbaits, we reckon the Betaine Green is likely to be doubled up as paste/groundbait mix, while the Hemp Blend is sure to
find its way on to the rivers as a top roach attractor.
Price: £7.50
Pellet Pastes
WHAT THEY SAY: Pellet pastes don’t need to be complex, they just need to be right. Made from the best finely milled pellets, without any cheap fillers, these new pellet-based pastes are extremely soft and have the perfect meltdown time. They also contain attractive liquid additives and have a long shelf life.
WHAT WE SAY: The ideal summer bait, paste often produces the biggest fish. The Blue Cheese and Garlic version is likely to attract attention from the specialist chub angler. It’s also worth remembering that off-the-shelf baits can often be adjusted to your own liking by simply kneading in a small amount of flavoured oil or soluble liquid. These come in 650g stay-fresh tubs.
Price: £6.99
Method Ready Catalyst & Corn Flavoured Groundbaits
WHAT THEY SAY: This 50:50 mix of 2mm pellets and groundbait is specially prepared to mould straight on to a Method feeder, and oozes incredible attraction.
WHAT WE SAY: If you’re even a bit unsure about mixing Method or cage feeder groundbaits then this one is for you. Perfectly textured and super attractive, the value-for-money 2kg bucket ensures you won’t need to throw away any groundbait at the end of a session – an added bonus.
Price: £9.99
Method Ready Bait Soaks
WHAT THEY SAY: Spotted Fin’s new bait soaks come in Catalyst, Classic Corn, Sweet Meat and GO2 F1 flavours, all with matching colours. Made with the same technology as used in Method Ready Pellets, these viscous bait soaks allow the angler to turn fishery pellets into a Method-ready bait in double-quick time – perfect for those who like a hands-on approach to bait prep, or who are restricted as to the pellets they are allowed to use on the lake.
WHAT WE SAY: These water-soluble bait soaks are easy to use – just add some to the water used to soak your pellets in for an instant boost.
We also rather fancy that they’ll be spot-on for making a sensational summer paste when mixed with fine groundbaits or milled pellets.
Price: £4.99
Method Ready Pellets
WHAT THEY SAY: In two cracking flavours – GO2 F1 and Halibut – these pellets come in handy 2kg buckets. They are soft and ready to use, sticking infallibly to the Method feeder. They hold their shape well and break down slowly in the swim. Each tub includes an explanatory leaflet.
WHAT WE SAY: These PVA and angler-friendly pellets require no preparation and come with a small pack of wafter hookbaits ideal for use with Method and Hybrid feeders.
Packed with attractive fish-catching ingredients, they offer great value for money, and the large 2kg bucket means you can dip in and use as many as you need, saving the rest for future trips.
