Being an older angler who has come back into coarse angling after a 30 year affair with fly fishing. I must say your videos are fantastic Paul. Thankyou so much, you make a huge learning curve achievable ✌❤ Bob.
Thanks Paul ,another great video, it’s a long time since I used paste ,must be 15 years but going to give it another go. Back then it was Swimstim Betaine green g/ bait and I fed 2 mm green micros formed into a marble size and dropped it. Thanks again and looking forward to next video and also trying paste again .
Swimstim still makes a good paste. In the next video I discuss feeding when fishing paste and I prefer bigger baits like 6mm pellets to corn and regard micros as last resort as they can draw too many fish into the swim and cause foul hooking problems.
Another great vid Paul looking forward to the rest So you can make it the night before then And would it be possible of a close up of the float on the line didn't quite understand the tungsten bit on the first one Cheers
I prefer to make it on the morning before I set off, only takes a few minutes, but night before and then in the fridge works. I’ll cover the float again at the start of the next video for you.
Good tip about the fine groundbait that you can turn into a paste, I did not know that. I will definitely give that one a try! I have used one to one paste in the past, not sure why this is but sometimes the texutre of the paste gets really grainy and doesn't stick together that well. I have another question, when you add water to the groundbait, does it makes a difference if you add the water first and then the groundbait or first the groundbait and then the water for making it into a paste? I know an old angler that use hot water to make his paste, I don't know if this does make a difference in texture or stickiness.
I’ve always added water to the groundbait, but if you’re going to stir it together I doubt it makes much difference, it’s the quantities that matter. I’ve never tried hot water but know anglers who have mixed groundbait with hot water as it makes it more inert (so they told me). Not sure I’d want the paste to be inert, I like it giving bits off and flavour in the water. It’s all trial and error and will depend on individual groundbait used, they all behave slightly differently.
@@paulstacklereviews1695 Thank you for the information Paul. Have you ever used Swim Stim Carp Groundbait for paste fishing? I live outside the UK, the adrenaline mega byte red krill is not available here.

Glad you enjoyed it.

@@paulstacklereviews1695 Thanks mate your a star ⭐
Good vid Paul. Have you ever used Ringers?
Used it back in the day and it worked, guess I just followed the crowd to green groundbait and now red.
