Hinders Elips Pellets

Wow, all i said was i,d be interested if there was any asthaxantin in the oil, yes neil i know that due to costs bait companys were reducing or even omitting it, and stewart , it does a bit more than just colour fish meat,,,,, and as luck would have it i still have quite a few kilo of the original coppens 14 mm pellet, wich only go on the hooklink, and contain guess what,,,,,,,,

Ah that ultimate feeder mix from Teme 7 was brilliant Graham! That smell of lamprey was out of this world (fishing wise)
They also got me to test their black sooties which were heavily flavoured lamprey pellets but like the halibut pellets in appearance. I did extremely well on them on the Loddon & Kennet.

What would I give for a decent pellet like them to come back to the market! 👍

If you don't mind Julian send me your address in a private message. Il send you some of the stuff I've made for a few lads. I might be a bit biased with it but I really rate the garlic bait I do 😉
 
From the Skretting website:

Do salmon and trout feeds contain colouring?​

In the wild, the flesh of salmon and trout can be a red/pink colour, due to an antioxidant called astaxanthin.  Astaxanthin is produced in natural waterways by algae, yeast and bacteria, all of which are in the food chain of salmonids. Astaxanthin is an essential nutrient for salmon. It is required to remain healthy and disease free. Salmon are unable to synthesise astaxanthin themselves, meaning they need a dietary supply for these vital functions. Astaxanthin used in fish feed is made in the same way as vitamins that you might purchase from a health food shop.

Hi Connor. So sorry not to of replied , I've literally just come back to the archives & spotted your message to me! Apologies again mate! 🙏
 
I couldn't go wrong on the Avon with the original elips . They were my go to confidence bait . Then the recipe and shape changed and they just did not give me the same results .
I then moved to cc Moore Pacific tuna and caught . Last season I went with mainline halibut and their big river barbel range . They caught me several fish and quickly so I believe they have pulling power . They also worked on the Severn .

The Elips hard hookers were rubbish as well and would split easily even with a fine bait needle . They had shell in them I noticed and it made them split .

Elops have now made a more boilie pellet type of hard hooker again and they are very good to put a needle through .

I have purchased a couple of kilos of elips and some oil etc ready for this season yo see if they compare to the Mainline range .

I love the mainline big river barbel liquid to dunk a mesh bag in . It is a black thick liquid that sends off a smashing scent trail .

It would be greasy to compare people's findings this season 🎣

I take it that they're sold by hinders still Barry?

I don't personally feel I have the stock on my rivers for the pellet approach... Having said that though, even when things were "better" (stock wise) I never was the sort, to over baited with pellets, just a dozen or so to get them rooting about 👍
