Expand You need to base your decisions on the levels of activity. If you see nothing just use singles or zigs. If you see activity then its worth applying bait - but not loads. Even if they were boshing out like dolphins I'll seldom use more than a kg or 2 in winter. On 17/02/2020 at 14:30, Iron_angling said: Recommend spod mix?

Location is the tricky bit in winter. If you can find them you can catch them and you'll not need much bait. B B, crusian and carpyian 3 Quote
