I think I have some in the garage, amongst the many and varied types I've bought expecting each to transform my fishing! I got them from Swanns in Coventry. If you want to speak to them it's 02476 402900
I'm not sure if I've even tried these yet lol!
If you want a sample pm me and I'll post you some.

Cheers...Mark

I have never seen them I have been playing with pellets for a few weeks trying all ways and methods of producing hookers and for realy small ones I did this

I ground up some pellets as if I was doing a paste mix, mixed some hot water and geletin
put about 3mm deep of powder in a 2 pint tub and added the hot mix made sure it was well mixed and smoothed out, then I put it in the fridge,

You know if it right because in the morning you can get your finished bait out of the bait box and roll it up. I leave mine in the box and just use a bread punch and what ever size suits me on the day, I found this less fiddley for my sausage fingers

Simon,

Check out your local Aquarists or Ebay

you'll be surprised at what you find

I feed my Cichlids pellets from ½mm to 3mm some of which are floating pellets but my fish only take sinkers so i pump the pellets.

Some of the smaller ½mm & 1mm dont increase in size some do though by over 100%.

I've tried many types to see if they would be hookable and around 90% would be okay for use on the pole (some would be okay for rod and line as well).

Not the cheapest way to get hooker pellet's but as i have them for my fish anyway it dont really matter to me.
