halibut pellets

a mate of mine used large amounts of 22mm ones in chains (similar to ebro tactics) to catch conger eels, had them up to 55lb on pellets. apparently they disolve a lot quicker in the sea though because of the current and salinity.

i've heard that smaller pellets are good for mullet too, but you might want to use a hook slightly smaller then you would for bleak.

Slain

I used fish flavoured pop ups on the top of a two hook rig to keep my baits away from the crabs. I also used to use big pellets ive had whiting, pollack and cod on pellets. Give em a good soak first to release a scent trail in the tide. I also sometimes used to use double pva bag filled with pellets around the lead. As long as its streamlined it will still cast a good distance.

cheers for the info only thought of it today bit late to soak as I'm off in a few hrs
Think it will be the spinners and take pot luck may not even get out for any yet
