Hi everyone, just wondered what everyones opinion was on the best pellets to use in a spod mix? Thinking of buying in bulk [25kg] this year. There seems to be so many types out there im not sure what to use.
Thanks.
Thanks.
My local animal feed store sourced me 25kg of halibut pellets for about £35, from skretting last summer. Good quality

I've tried loads and imo you can't beat your bog standard trouties or hali's.
Skretting Elite Trout Pellets are what I use, 25kg about 36 quid delivered from Titmuss (Fishing Bait World). These have caught me loads of carp over the past few years, they absolutely LOVE them.

I don't think you will be getting Skrettings anymore in the UK from what I was told by a Fish Farmer last week - the company that bought Skretting out has now pulled out of the UK market completely.
I ended up buying 100kg of Coppens Intensive Feed Pellet for my stock fish.

It was my understanding they were stopping producing in the UK due to a new factory build from a competitor, but still supplying. Are you saying they'll no longer be supplying into the UK Keith?

Gutted, they are a staple for me. One of those things you just do not want to change.

It's all good fellas, they'll still be supplying from France. It's just UK production that's stopped:

Well that is weird, it was posted on 30 Jan 2020 but refers to news from April 19. I think they've taken info from the previous article (below from Nov 18) and failed to edit it sufficiently.

I was watching this thread wondering about the thinking on size, any preferences about large or small?

Depends on the application mate. I use bigguns (8mm) for feed. For bags small'n's would be better.
