    You may wish later to have matching reels ,if your not doing nights then a chair would be good, net and matt too

    I personal think second hand is a good way to get quality without the big price tag new.

    I only buy Mint AAA at 50 -60 % of new , save a fortune over the years ,you may have to wait but its out their. 

    I've sent back the baitrunner and got same reel and also I do have a chair and net just havent listed them I've got a a abode reclinable chair and saber 42inch net and just bought a daiwa reel for my 6ft rod

    Try a bag of the GLM pellets, i mix a couple of handfuls into the coppens pellets they have a quick breakdown time putting out a nice GLM signal in your swim. 

    Cheers bro all theses baits are helping alot I'm making a list on my phone :D

    The reason I ask is they take up a lot of space in the freezer so if buying in bulk you really need the space but buying in bulk always works out cheaper 

    Yeah I've Been doing alot of research and found some cheap boilies but don't know what there like Starmerbaits  and Starbaits also found some Shimano boilies at - 4.66/KG

    Yes Mate, but be aware, it becomes around 60kilos or more!

    If I'm fishing for a few days, 5 kilos will last me easily.

    If you use a 3 pint maggot tub to measure it out into a bucket, add boiling water that will last you a days fishing easily.

    See when you say add to boiling water for 24hours do I still need to cook it too ?

    Worth seeing if you have an animal feed company near by , they'll often do pellets and particles etc . As far as boilies go depends on quantity Abs bait , premier , retro , baitworks all do decent bait .

    Couple of my mates are using Munch baits and catching I'm not 100% sure on quality due to the retail price but all depends what your looking for.

    I f using pellets in quantity then your better of using coppens coarse pellet rather than oily trout pellet .

    Thanks very much I've just looked, this is the thing I dont know whats good or not but that coppens pellets seems good to be honest

    Welcome to Carp.com.

     

    As others have said look in local animal feed stores for pellets, chicken corn, Vitalin even pigeon conditioner.

     

    Failing that ebay is a good source for things like this:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GardenersDream-Mixed-Poultry-Corn-Deluxe-Feed-For-Chicken-Geese-Duck-Seed-Food/254211112564?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

     

    Soak it in a bucket with boiling water for 24 hours, boil and its ready to use. Mix in with some Vitalin and you have a very good groundbait.

     

    Boilie wise there are plenty of good makes out there. Depending on what you want a food source or an attractor bait you have a massive choice.

     

    For boilies you could try Rod Hutchinson who do deal direct

    https://rodhutchinson.co.uk/bait/

    So say I buy 25kg of that from ebay I just put in boiling water over night ?
