Looking at most of the baits produced many seem to offer 14 to 18mm some 20mm but few appear to offer 24 and 26 mm. Is this purely lack of demand? I've been looking at many online rollers that are highly recommended but few offer 22 or 24mm which I'm after.. So far choice is abs who offer a big range but don't know anyone using them anymore so open to recommendations. Also xcell baits offer the sizes and the vnf looks interesting if anyone has used it?

I think if you enquire most will do larger sizes but don't actively make them as there is little demand. Find the bait you like and call up to see if they can roll the size you want.

Glenn,
I'm on it this season and all the fish I've put up in the catch results have come from it using it as a background feed whilst using SHB hookbaits and have had a few on the white half-tone dumbbell wafters.

The Bailiff has used it, didn't have any joy at all so moved onto another bait. Don't think he gave it enough time. Not sure if anyone else is using it on the lake.

I've done 10 sessions this year had 8 fish, lost 3 and blanked twice doing overnight sessions after work.

I'd recommend it, the bailiff wouldn't

For the record I only use 15mm freezer.

Spence at Aqua bait rolls up 22 mm baits and can thoroughly recommend his gear it's quality!
Are you sure?
