If you're deciding which to order he does the mixed pots so you can chop and change and see which works with your rigs, that was the route I took and it opens up options

The best option for sure, I have also found they trim down very nicely with a sharp knife so if you like the smaller ones the bigger ones don't go to waste.

Sorry to hijack but does anyone know if a AAA shot will balance out an 11mm proper jobs pop up? On a simple rig for solid bags.

Why not just test it yourself. Water, pint glass, 5 minutes. See which size shot is best for your purpose. Simples.

I have just tried it for you with a size 7 hook no ring or ring swivel just hair rig, a aaa shot easily takes it down a bb and no1 shot also takes it down

I use 11mm proper job squids on ronnies, still need putty.
This with a very sharp hook flies back into their mouth.
11mm are plenty bouyant enough ive found, in fact ive not touched my 13mm at all.

Sorry to hijack the thread...but...

Id be really interested to hear opinions on small hook baits.
Why do you think 11mm is a better hook bait than something larger?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
