Hello all.

So I've just joined a syndicate that has the rule of no natural baits.

Assuming this rules out hemp, corn and tigers. What would you guys bulk out your spod mix with?

Naturals usually means maggots, worms etc. I'd be asking for clarification before deciding on what to use

Go old school - Pigeon conditioner plus corn and a few crumbed up and whole hook baits 👍.

Or just fish over boilies?

Im back to boilies and pellet. Got fed up of preparing particles.

Seems the only choice is to spomb out some plastic corn. :-)

Surely the first thing on any new water is to clarify any rules your not sure about.

A lot of rules sound great to the person making them.

Like one I fished years ago. No braid whatsoever.

Was actually no braided mainline on fishing rods. Fine on spod rods and hook lengths.

Make sure its not pop up corn unless surface fishing,it gets expensive but we'll worth the cost

100% I take it to mean maggots and worms as I have fished lakes with naturals and nut bans as separate rules.

Having said that I also have a club ticket that says NO LIVEBAITING then says only maggots which had never entered my head as a live bait

Get on the micro pellet /10mm boilies. . . any pellet bigger than 4mm is too big!

*Also CBA with particles these days . . .

In reply to Post #12
@Belch why <4mm?

No idea really - you could add 6/8mm if you want to . . .I just like the idea of tiny bits that breakdown quick and provide a fine carpet / area of attraction rather than fill them up

Sounds like an Embryo water in which case particle is allowed.
That being said on lots of their waters fish are relatively young so pellet is effective.
