Default Pole fishing with paste.

Hello, tried paste for a while on Sunday but found it disappeared from the hook quite quickly. There was a little movemnt on the float time to time then the float would come up in the water after 20 to 30 seconds. Think it may of been the hook being to small or something. Will be buying some wide gape hooks to see if it stays on better like that.

Suppose it is a case of trial and error until I find the best way to do it.

What I actually did was mould a little lump of paste - about the size of my little finger nail - to the hook without the point showing. I may not of moulded it hard enough or something. Any ideas????

Are these ready made pastes supposed to be quite soft and moist - Swimstim?

And are you supposed to make your own like this too??
