Geezzusss thats a complicated question!
Everyone has a view on this ... personally I think paste fishing is more about finding the correct place to fish it in your peg. I prefer to fish it on a slope then you can let the paste go in to the deeper bit of the peg and ease it up the slope till the float is sitting perfectly.
My personal choice for shotting is to put a bulk just over half way down the rig and the size of the bulk is dependant on the size of paste I am fishing - you have to play around with it to get it right - perhaps just start with say a 0.5grm float with four No 9 shot as a bulk and go from there - the best advice is to go to a venue where you know there are plenty of carp to be caught and go and practice - sometimes the most satisfying part of fishing is working this stuff out - as I say I'm sure many people fish the paste differently and different methods work better from one venue to another - just dont start off trying to fish it too far out otherwise you will be pulling your hair out!
