24mm.
Sounds massive but the rollers are only the size of a 10p piece, the finished baits are like 2p size.

Doing quite well avoiding them tbh,only want a pop up over a 20mm bottom bait for a snowman, leaving out the pellets has helped as has only baiting up with 20mm. Seems like either would do as i thought early replies would say avoid white like the plague.

I think if you add a smaller pop up to make a snowman you give the bream something to fit in their mouth and you will be getting pulls all night.
Maybe better to cut a bigger pop up in half and then slice a 1/4 off the larger bottom bait and fit them together.
If the bottom is clean then I'd just fish a bottom bait.

I've had quite a few bream on tigers lately!

I've had bream on "tigers' as well, and even in thick weed where it's also aledged that they do not go into and thus you will not catch them there if you fish in it..
Probably about the only thing I have not caught them on is a "Floater" on the surface.

I dont think anyone has said you WONT catch bream on Tigers
but you sure as Sh*t wont catch anywhere near as many as you will on other baits
so if you want to avoid bream as much as possible Nuts are a good choice
I also found when I cooked my Hemp with lots and lots of chilli flakes it did not seem to attract the bream but the plain hemp did ?

I had two bream off the surface in a single session a few years back. Never had one other than this, both were about the 6lb mark and took big chunks of crust.

I've fished a couple of lakes with very few bream in them, but I seem to manage to catch them... And always it's on a white bait.

Not sure about colour per se - most washed out baits / coloured pellets look white on the bottom anyway hence why white baits are pretty successful IMO!
If you're getting bites persevere; at least your spots and rigs are working - alternatively have you gone the other way and tried black hookbaits? That or upping the diameter to double 24mm donkey chokers?

No I'm more than happy with my success as I said I was deciding on whether to go pink snowman or white, pink it is as I feel white draws bream slightly more.
