Pellets

[clueless]

Hi fellas just wondering how some of you present small pellet as a hook bait. Obviously these cannot be drilled or they split??? Do you use soft hooker pellets on the hair instead???? or lasso a small pellet?? any suggestions?

How small a pellet are you talking about?
If I use a sonubaits 11mm pellet then I hair rig it/them, 6mm or 4mm pellets go straight onto the hook,size 14 or 16, making sure that the hookpoint is clear of the bait.

I often use 8mm pellets. Sonubaits do excellent hookbait pellets. These can be hair rigged straight from the packet. Personally I mesh mine in cheap stocking material to ensure they last at least 48 hours. Normal 8mm pellets can be used. Simply mesh 2 together in stocking, tying off with braid. They can then be whipped onto the hook shank. Alternatively tie them off using a longer length of hooklink braid and tie them to the hook no knot style. I mesh mine either end on end to make a long thin pellet hook bait, or, side by side.

i use a small cordless screw driver with a small hss bit (steel drill bit) for all my pellets i drill them at home and depending how what time of year it is i give them a soak in some salmon oil etc for 24 hours this prolongs there life a littel.

In the past I have used small pellet sized pieces of hard foam that cut easily with a craft knife as hookbaits and with a boilie on the hair to balance the weight a little.

superglue two pellets together with the hair inbetween.
