Simply cover with water and drain after 2 mins.

Prepare them the night before payno, cover them with water for 5 mins then drain it off.
Or my favourite method mix at the moment is this.
Ingredients :-
Half a bag of swimstim green groundbait.
Half a bag of 3mm swimstim pellets.
One tin of catmeat in gravy (liquidised with half a tin of water).

Prepare the night before fishing.
Add half the mixture to the groundbait and mix in well.
Add rest of mixture to the pellets and leave both separated for half an hour.
Stir both again and add together mixing it all together.
It will appear too stodgy but this will be fine for the method feeder the next day don't worry.
In the morning give another stir to separate some of the binded pellets and its done.

The catmeat gives off a good aroma which is an advantage over mixing with water.
This mix doesn't dry out as quick as one made with water either.
I use this mix with the new speed mould and get plenty of bites.

Hi chap,

The absolute easiest way to do it is get a 3 pint baitbox with a lid.... put in 2 pints of pellets and then fill the baitbox with water - then put the lid on the box (the lid has very small holes in it) - then turn the whole box upside down, the water will slowly drain out and leave for 30 minutes, pellets will be perfect by then for use straight out of the box.
