Love your vid's Scott love the trick is it true to soak 1m for 1 minutes 2m for 2 minutes are the ready done any good or is it best to do your own and would you put stuff on say like turmeric would love your feedback Cheers mate.
Thanks Alan, yeah as a rough guide that's right it also depends on the quality of the pellets too, the ones in the video are 2mm and they had just under 2 minutes in total, I have given them a dusting in green swimstim groundbait in the past and it works really well so I don't see why tumeric wouldn't and as I've said before it's a confidence thing. The ready made ones are fantastic to use on there own but if you want to add a colour or a flavor then soaking your own would be best.
So, with the risk of me sounding very dum what is the difference between a hard pellet, soft pellet, expander and all the other types of pellet ranging from the ones the fishery insist you have all the way to the Fjuka’s. So confused, please shed some light on this and suggest situations on best time to use each variety. Much appreciated Scott!
There's no such thing as a daft question, hard pellet are used in bait bands and primarily used in late spring and through summer when the fish are feeding heavily and can be fished shallow/slapping, on the deck and on a bomb/feeder, soft pellet/expander are hard (packet will say expander) until they are soaked or pumped (you can get ready done that don't need any extra prep) and are used when fishing for silvers or through winter etc, fjuka are a soft pellet you can use all year round, fishery pellets tend to be from a good supplier and will contain the nutrients that fish need for that time of year (if it's a good fishery) and these can be soaked/pumped and used the same as any other pellet really.
Cheers Robert, I did enjoy doing them but it kind of sparked a more creative path which is what i'm following now. It's been over 12 months since I last went fishing too so I'm definitely out of touch with things on the fishing side.

Where can I get vegetable glycerine
I put a link in the description for Amazon, but Ebay or just a google search will bring up plenty of results...
Thanks Scott
Do you just use tap water if doing them at home
Yes tap water will be fine, I have tried bottled water but didn't notice a difference in catch rates etc
@@Scottsoutdoorchannel thank you

Can you use a pump for expanders
Yes you can and It's much better using a pump
Hi
Pity you are not doing videos now
