I've been using Sonubaits pellets of various types for a couple of seasons now for a variety of different situations. I've used their S pellets in 6mm halibut and 16mm monster crab and mussel which have been the downfall of all sorts of fish from roach to tench to chub. They go on the hook perfectly, and equally well on the hair providing you're careful with the smaller sizes, and the oil leakage is second-to-none which I'm convinced helps draw fish into the swim.
Having achieved good results with some of the range already , I was keen to try a new – to me at least – addition that I found while browsing a tackle shop recently. Pellet O's come in a 75 gram tub of hard, 8mm or 12mm pre drilled pellets in crab or halibut flavour... And that's it! However, the difference with these is that you get two Korum hooks complete with hair, quickstop and needle to thread the bait on included in the tub and all for around two quid.
The hooks are strong with a flat profile and a slightly in-turned point and are perfectly matched to the size of the pellet that you choose. The hair is the right length and a pellet will sit just off the bend of the hook or just touch it if you tip it with a grain of corn to improve visibility, while the quickstop system makes mounting any bait a simple procedure, and cuts out the need to fiddle about with a hair stop, especially useful in the dark.
Ultimately, this is a simple product but with some some careful thought and great presentation from Sonubaits, it's been turned into an entire bait system in a tub that will help you to put fish on the bank.
