Default Not Confident with Pellets!!
Best bait for me has been Bacon Grill coated in a spicy powder such as Tikka Masala. Cannot say I have spent the hours required to test the bait as I seem to go with what I know works. Any Ideas how I would become more confident?? rig ideas?? Mainly fishing the river Swale in North Yorkshire!

Arms length hooklink, size 10 drennan specialist with either pellet or 10mm boilies on hair (I use two) with either a small lead to swing under cover or swinfeeder to hold the bottom. I usually use it running with a gripper stop 4 inches behing.

Most importantly bait swim if you are staying put and cast fairly often. If roving find fish or stay 30 minutes max in each spot. Feed with hemp and more hemp, mini pellets and mini boilies if fishing boilies.
