Default pellets - floating sinkers!

got some 4mm and 6mm feed and hooker pellets cant remember which make but the instructions said soak overnight and you have perfect hook and feed bait. soaked the 4mm come the match perfect stayed on the hook and sunk but the 6mm floated and i didnt have a pump and couldnt be used on the hook as they supported the droppers so crap. any one know any tricks to make them sink when pumpless. cheers.

After soaking bag them up with no air in them. When you go to use them give them a squeeze pushing the remaining air out of the pellet. They should sink.

After soaking them put in a large polythene bag, blow the bag up like a balloon, and with a rolling action shake the pellets around the bag, this will knock the air out and make them into sinkers. You might have to do it two or three times to get all the air out. Or if only a few is required for the hook give them a squeeze under water and release them under water this will again displace the air.
