yonny 4,638 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 What're the shipping costs like elmo? The pellets look decent on paper. They're actually not far from me at all. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder what the shelf life/use by date is? Got caught out with this on a sack of Halibuts years ago. Was using them to pre-bait a swim and half of them floated! Turns out they were past their use by date-I assume the high oil content had led to oxidisation? elmoputney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's probably worth waiting until we are allowed out again, also I should think once the weather warms up these will sell quicker giving you a longer life hopefully might be worth asking though? , I only found that out the other day lol I was reading something and I found out Pellets had a shelf life, I didn't even realise I've still got half a binful of carp Pellets they might be floaters by now 😂 Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elmoputney 3,712 Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 I emailed the company last night,this batch have a shelf life til July /September, he said they shouldn't really go off but they may lose some of the vitamins, I would probably use them by then if we were allowed out play 😢 Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elmoputney 3,712 Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 New batches in April, that will have a 10-12 month shelf life on them if that helps 👍 If I need some before though I think I can use them before September(subject to an ease in restrictions by the bafoon in the chair) 😢 Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it on Shallow and would have definitely renewed if I hadn’t got my Dinton ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a nice place, I saw a pic of the Ivo lin on Instagram the other day, I wouldn't mind having another go for that, but I also quite fancy some of the other lakes now also, I could see me trying again one day, Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck a mixed handful in , some sink , some waft , some rise up to the surface where your ( Elmos' ) artfully presented surface bait is waiting to be gulped down . 😁 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank and probably Greekski know more than me on that. 7 hours ago, crusian said: Hi Elmo If they do float why not use them for a spot of floater fishing ? . Chuck a mixed handful in , some sink , some waft , some rise up to the surface where your ( Elmos' ) artfully presented surface bait is waiting to be gulped down . 😁 A very worthwhile tactic anyway, some smaller sized pellets in a batch often do float until they have taken on water and break the water surface tension. I use the method on Bromeswell regularly to get fish right into the margins, then fish a free lined bait on the surface hanging off the rod tip. It is where a nice brown trimmed pop-up really scores... crusian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutch 699 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 The lads on my lake have used them for quite some time, the fish that were stocked a couple years ago were feed these at the farm they came from. I really like the look of the Master pellets the profile stacks up pretty well for all year round use. Pete Springate's Guns, yonny and elmoputney 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
