TIPS & ADVICE
5 WAYS TO CATCH MORE
UP-IN-THE-WATER

2
Keep bait tightly
grouped when it
hits the water by
using a good caty
- fish in a one foot
circle.
Do not pile in loads of pellet on the surface, just up
to half a dozen pellets every 2 minutes is plenty.

If a conventional Splash ‘Em
style float is not doing the
trick, switch to a Soft-Land
Stubbee so the fish only hear
the small pop of the hookbait
hitting the water.
On some venues fish are
wising up to the traditional
bigger sound made by a
Splash ‘Em style float.
Go to a smaller hook size.
While this method is
renowned for use with a size
12 or 14 hook, you will get
more bites on a lighter size 18,
because it allows the bait to
fall more naturally.

Fish with no longer than
a 12” hooklength with
no shot down the line
and this kind of knot
arrangement shown in
the diagram - it allows
the float to move freely
and presents the float
more naturally.
Some may argue that it
creates a bolt style rig,
but no more so than
trapping the float with
no.8s.
