Marine Halibut Pellets Pre-Drilled 8mm

thought about buying thee's "Marine Halibut Pellets Pre-Drilled 8mm" of flee bay. would thay do for brown trout. and how would you mount them on a hook .

becareful mate buyinb them of ebay/carboots,theres a lot of old stock going abt,they could be out of date or been in strong sunlight.you can put them on a air rig.trout pellets could work out cheaper?

point taken nick. air rig whats that bud. are the pellets any good tho...

halibut pellets a great mate,just look up hairrigs on google mate,marine halibut pellets av got oils in,but they work better in warmer weather because oil despences better in warmer water.they do work in winter but slower results.you can get pellet bands,then fit on hook then pellet fits in them,they good.i use a 8mm pellet on a band on size 14 hook fished at a foot deep connected to a chummer float,[a small cage feeder that floats with a like bubble float top on it.fill that with ground bait,smaller pellets ect.cast out an keep cattin smaller pellets to it.you get fish feeding anthey get scrapping to get you bait.brill method

do you attach the pellet to the hook or the line. i'v never fished this method before bud. i even thought about lug worm for trout fishing ?.

pellet bands just slide on hook,hairrigs tyed on.will try an sort a link for you mate 2morra

thanks nick

They won't work for wild brownies. Catch a wildie on a halibut pellet and you've won the lottery. Stockies only react to pellets because it's all they know. Wildies have a little more 'brain' power.

I can see why too. I used to use minnow mounts, drop-minnow or even freelined minnows for brownies regularly. I guess it's no great leap from minnows to sprats and you probably dace (which look a bit like sprats at speed) n stuff down there too?
