sterry Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Maybe i newbie question but i have never used them and i don't know any one who has... so i would just like your opinion on using Marine Halibut pellets as a hookbait, i use them a lot for barbel and have had some cracking size's but never considered using them for carp has any one else?

Gaz Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 had lots of carp on them mate in the warmer months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phippers84 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 one or two lakes i fish i would never consider using anything else! i use 12 mm as a min size as the smaller ones tend to crack when drilling them. (or buy the pre-drilled ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterry Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yes i already ahve got the pre-drilled ones for barbel fishing but i have just ordered 5kg bag if mixed halibut pellets i was thinking of using the predrilled ones as a hook bait and the mixture in a pva bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phippers84 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 exactly what i do. have caught quite a few on that method. would feel confident on most lakes with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanetaylor1996 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I Use 12mm I Got A 30 lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkel Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I got a bag of 16mm pre drilled (yeah right 3/4 of them are not drilled at all) and they stink. LOL I bet I'll catch more catfish than carp off them come Summer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1482 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've recently tried with the 12mm and 16mm, found with the 12mm pellets they seemed to bring in the Bream so changed to 16mm as a hook bait and had a couple carp on them. Every water fishes different so only advice is to give it a go and see how you get on mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale_carp Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Had my PB On halibut mate, 20mm pre drilled. Bait tech ones, the best ones in my opinion. If i was you id definitely give it a go mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedoncarp Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 In answer to your original question. I started fishing last year and have fished on nothing else but hallibutt pellets up until now. I am now using boilies, pop ups etc and experimenting with different baits but for all of the lakes i have fished so far i used hallibutt all the way. I have caught all through the year on hallibutt and infact last sunday had three carp on the bank from a double 12mm pellet on the hair and a bag of 6mm pellets in a pva bag attached to the hook mate.

bass Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 try using the Hali hookers S pellets in the tuff version from sonubaits, full of oil, needle friendly and last for a long time in the water, also come in a 16mm size. Fished with standard halibut pellets as feed these are a great hook bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
