Testing The Overnight Method Feeder Pellets Hack!

Testing The Overnight Method Feeder Pellets Hack!
I have recently been sent videos of some of the top names in feeder fishing mixing their method feeder pellets in advance and asked if it was any good to use this method... So in true Westy fashion let's put it to the test!
What you will need to try this yourself - water/airtight Tupperware (not a bait tub!), pellets and water.

with my pellets, I fill them just under the top of the pellet, leave the water in for 45 min - drain them off then put them into a ziplock bag overnight in the fridge they are perfect the next day no mush at all! worth a shot

[@WestysAngling]

Great advice for people watching 🎣

I watched a video recently of a guy who did this. Left a tub 30 minutes, a tub 2 hours and another one over night. All came out absolutely fine. I tried it on my last session. Filled a tub when i got to the lake. Went for breakfast. Absolutely perfect by the time i'd set up. Tried with 3 different types of pellet and same results each time. Its the method im using from now on. You can just take empty takeaway containers and when youve only got a few feeders worth of pellets left you fill another tub up. Stops any chance of preparing too many pellets too

This is practically the only method I use.
I’ve got 2 pots with click locks on them. 300ml & 500ml I make the just before I’m going to bed. I leave them for a few minutes and they’ve swollen into the lid. Then I flip the pot upside down for a few mins. Then fridge them. I have just soaked them that way for an hour kept turning the pot. They were fine too.
I normally empty the lot in to a tub and break them up when I get to my peg,
I do it so I can maximise my fishing time on the bank.
Each to their own! 👍

[@deanwalker6251]

I find that different makes and brands of pellets require different lengths of time in water, at the end of the day it's down to personal preference as long as they're presentable, like you I like mine to be a little harder and not too mushy

[@felgate11]

Maybe turn the tub upside down & back a couple or so times during the fridge time to soak more equally??

[@landbk5015]

Another great video Matt. What I like about you is you never put anyone down for doing something different to you and often give their way a try. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Barry. I think it’s always worth keeping your mind open to new ideas and ways of doing things! Each to their own with things 😁

[@user-ur5yg6ne2b]

The kingfisher sitting on your head throughout the demonstration was a nice touch.😂😂

[@WestysAngling]

😂 glad you like Kev the kingfisher, I like to think of it as a subliminal message ha

I use chicken layers pellets, they’re cheap and the carp love them. I put them in a plastic washing up bowl liquifies a couple of tins of sweet corn and mix it all together with the pellets. I then put half in a zip lock bag and half in a bucket and leave over night. When I get to the lake in the morning I just damp the with a bit of lake water and mix thoroughly then leave for ten minutes or so and mix again. Granted the pellets don’t hold their shape but with the corn in it makes a fantastic method feeder mix and stays on the feeder. If I don’t use what’s in the back up bag then I put it in the freezer when I get home.. I’m going to experiment by adding a touch of hemp in the mix too. It’s worth giving it a go.

I use this method now after Mick Vials showed me and I love it! Makes life so easy.
The pellets are better once taken out of the tub and mixed together, gives you a more even result 👍🏻
Nice video 🎉

[@WestysAngling]

Yes they seemed to get better on the bank after an hour or so ! Thanks buddy I appreciate that. Just subbed to your channel 👍🏻🎣

[@adamdjenson6905]

Nice bro 👌

[@MegaTreble99]

I've done them all ways over the years, but doing them 10 mins before setting off at home is the best and a little stir on arrival at the fishery..

[@tubetonylee09]

Nice one pal 👍 you do it a little different than me but its all about personal choice when it comes to your pellets 👍😀🎣🐟🦆🦆🦆

[@markdjhunter9080]

I have found it only works evenly when you use a lot bigger tub, so all the pellets are flatter rather than stacked on top of each other in a smaller container. When i use smaller tubs the bottom pellets are never the same as the top ones.

[@WestysAngling]

Interesting! Definitely takes some playing around with, but great for beginners

[@Michaelreed902]

Think I still do mine on the bank will be ordering soon

[@CarpAndMore]

Let’s see that ❤

[@AT16]

I find this just creates pellets that can easily be mushy - and not properly break down. A short 20-30 seconds followed by 10 minutes to rest makes for a better breakdown.

[@CarpAndMore]

The way I’m doing this is filling the half of the rub with pellets and then just cover them with water and leave for over night. For me it is work better than fill the whole tub

[@WestysAngling]

That will allow them to expand too much for my liking and become overly soft and springy. The compression helps them hold shape better 😂 definitely no right or wrong way, it all works …I’m just fussy about my method feeder pellets !

[@CarpAndMore]

@@WestysAngling ok I will try with full tub and see

[@alanfoster4411]

Matt, have you a video of doing them on the bank without editing so we get a true time they are soaked cheers Al.

[@WestysAngling]

Yes I will 100% do this for you, good idea 👍🏻 it’s usually between 1 and two minutes though

[@christineteuma3620]

hi westys any chance of you doing a choccy orange syrup that would be really good with your pellets

[@WestysAngling]

Ironically releasing one in about 3 days with a new bundle 😂

[@christineteuma3620]

@@WestysAngling happy days will go nicely with the pellets i just had off you and what a amazing smell on them hat off to you, i will be ordering that when its out. going fishing tomorrow will put what i catch on your fb page as always roll on tomorrow tight lines.

[@andrewswarbrick3898]

Hi do you have any 6 or 8 mm soft pellets? Cheers Andrew from Barlick.

[@WestysAngling]

No buddy maybe in the future 😁

[@deanwalker6251]

I find that different makes and br

[@kevinhudson6999]

Interesting might give it a good . Just to see how they work for me, I find when I have to put them in the frezzer after coming home with some I find they a good as well . The old 5hit mix . Ha ha

[@CarpAndMore]

After freezing pellets nest time before I use I add some sticky glaze from dynamite and they are ready to go

[@WestysAngling]

Oh really ? I don’t find frozen ones come out very well the next session 😂

[@tomwalton6661]

Did you use them on a session?
What was the result?

[@WestysAngling]

They work fine Tom ! Just a little on the soft side for my refined taste 😂

[@darrenbluer2749]

You did it wrong that's why it didn't work. You need a smaller air tight container, you then fill it to the brim with pellets & then add water just until the water starts to rise through the pellets & then you fasten your airtight lid on (no need for refrigeration) & then when you arrive on the bank tip then into a larger container & shake them up. And then as if by magic..... Perfect pellet 👍👍

[@WestysAngling]

I will give them another go !
