To be read whilst humming the music to "Our Tune" of Simon Bates radio fame  Dear Pellet Experts, as a pellet novice I am having problems with my pellets falling apart after an hour or so. I'm using 6mm Ringer bag up pellets with a pellet pump. I pump them till they sink, empty them out into a bait box and use them. An hour later they are falling apart and some don't sink. Advice and tips greatly appreciated. Sarcasm, Yorkshire wit, and joviality encouraged in any reply however the following words are banned as they are starting to give me nightmares : OTTER - SNOWMAN - FENCE - BOILIE - HORSE - WORM - ZIG ZAG AND LILYPAD ;D |

hahaha.....sorry....many people like to use pellet pumps but sometimes peple leave them in for too long soaking, what i did was ditch mine and just got a little tub and added my additives and added a small few drops of water, just enough for them to be sticky and not soaking wet, then i strain them into a DRY tub and leave it somewhere warm ie over a boiler/radiator so that they dry up a bit....then i take them to the lake/river to use......i never prepare at the river/lake...do it at home so its already done for when you get there

Specimenhunter - cheers mate - too much water in them sounds plausible - I'm wetting a line tomorrow so will take 'em out a bit quicker and see if that works ! Blindfish - Don't you get me going with all that blow back over the shoulder jargon - I've only just got the hang of the knotless knot  The names' Bond ;D |

hey dont worry....people need a hand and ill try and help out, plus if you can try not to use bands on them as it crushes them easier so what better is either drilling the pellets or buy pre-drilled and use a rig with a stopper. if you want any rig ideas pm
