Yah me too.... Now I've got 19kg Particle - 13kg still to arrive, 25kg Aller Aqua Pellets. Should be enough for a campaign next year? Now Boilies.... Sticky Manilla or Sticky Krill on the canal? or should I mix both. I still have about 5kg of each left, but will be topping up both at Christmas.

salokcinnodrog Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Argh! I just put a cupful of maize to soak in a bucket before i add pigeon conditioner on Saturday, for boiling Sunday. Blooming weevils started crawling out of the maize so I have had to soak my last 5kilos. Going to have to either put the lot in next week or freeze it. Something I have started doing with particles is save my slightly salted pasta water and soak the particles in it before boiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carbon baits Particles are brilliant, I've used 1 jar ready, fishing 1 pieces of fake Slow sink Maize, just wafting over the top. Mate has ordered some today, that's what we was using at weekend, 1 small scoop of this with about 10 boilies in the Boat hopper, after every bite...you all seen mate did well, we had 14 fish between us. The slik it gives off on when contacted the water, also when you can see the fish munching over it too. I think I'll be ordering some more 😏. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarper Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I've give up with Monster Particles. They drag you in with their cheap prices, but seems to be for things you aren't going to get. First ever order I had to chase up as part of the order was missing, yet I'd give them a fortnight to before contacting them. But gave them another chance with an order for 3 varieties of dry particles. First arrived after 5 working days, second arrived after 8 working days, and again after 3 weeks I found myself chasing up the third, and now they choose to ignore me. Even though the prices are a bit higher I've just put an order in with Barrs Angling so will see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also going to try the shelf like ecton berry if they have any at billing tackle shop. it's the fuel costs that hurt me trying to get her to move to the posher parts of northampton but no joy as yet. newmarket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running out of time for the zigs imo mate. Once they've spawned it's time to get on the deck (on most waters anyway) until Dec/Jan depending on temps.

I managed to get a 10kg bag home, thawed it out in some Hemp/Olive Oil, now I've refreshed it until my 48hr in August.... Would anything else be a good additive to it when thawing ?
