Is that an order lol , i did check on search but nothing of interest popped up, soaking was one i saw, looking for brands

Best ones are in the bulk drums at Pets At Home - ie you buy what you need to by weight. Boxes of pedigree chum are not the same as they used to be.

wasnt being funny about it , was a genuine question .. jesus , was asking a simple question about what recommendations were for floaters , i have one now and i thank the op very much for his time.. Contrary to popular belief, some of us do the search first , please do not judge others by thy own standards. Thanks Tony , appreciate

Bog standard Tesco's is all you need. They're just dog biscuits.
Don't rule out good old bread either. No requirement to over complicate things.

Thanks , as said , bought chum mixers last time and they didnt do what they used to do.

I use Bakers Complete, usually with the big cube meaty ones as the hookbait. You get a mix of sizes and colours.

Or as said, bread.
I was moulding bread around a corkball on the hair yesterday for 7 fish. Nothing massive all between 6-8lb, but fun on light tackle.

Surprised the Chum sank, they are not the same as they used to be but are still effective as are Morrisons savers mixers and as mentioned Tesco's own brand.

Don't rule out cat biscuits either, bit more expensive but again effective & different and there is also floating trout pellets.

I've used the co-op own brand ones before and they worked really well, different sizes and shapes for hookbait options etc.

Hi Steve

Probably the most in depth informative thread on floaters the forum has produced so far

Thanks Johnny, that makes sense now, buy a few packets of the enterprise tackle plastic one's then rather than the other one's suggested, i cannot thank you enough for searching high and low to find that one , i will let you know how i get on.
