- Jamie Hughes reveals the secret hookbait that not only won him £60,000 back in 2019, but continues to be his standout hookbait of choice when fishing bomb and pellet tactics for carp on commercial venues.
It is no secret the effectiveness of Sonubaits Pro Expander pellets, but our new signing Jamie Hughes has kept his use of them up his sleeve until this point, revealing how to prepare, present and fish with this great bait.

Great tip Jamie !! Still learning after 40 yrs of Comp trout fishing just coming into the Commercial Carp World !!
Congratulations on your wedding and your new adventure with sonubaits mate
Thank you Jamie and Sonubaits for bringing this to us. Another awesome video showing your tips and thoughts behind why you do it. I’m a true lover of using these pellets and in fact all the Sonubaits pellets/baits when fisheries allow them. They are pure quality. So looking forward to more of your team up videos. Thanks Again & Tight Lines Guys
I love the small tubs of expanders, the F1 and Krill are my go-to. No faff and perfect in 6mm and 8mm
What do you do with any soaked pellets or groundbait that you have left over after a session can they be frozen or left in the fridge
Many thanks Bob
The pro expanders range are definitely the best to use, I love using them.
Can't wait to see what you come up with at Sonu baits, hope you have a great and productive time at Sonu👍
Nice to see you using sonu, cracking range of products only now you’ll be even harder to beat lol 😂, bring on bagger !!!
Des (and Joe etc) always tell us we MUST keep these pellets in water on the side tray as they breakdown if not. Notice Jamie seems not to keep them in water on his side tray. Is this correct and is it the glycerine that allows this? Many thanks T
Best of luck Jamie, looking forward to plenty more videos from you. 👍🏼
Nice to see you at Sonu Jamie. Great video!
Been clearing out my local on the bomb with Pellet ‘O’s but when they get finicky I’ve gone to exactly the same setup as yours (power scopex bait booster instead of pineapple) and it just seems to spark more positivity in the carp feeding again - looking forward to more videos
Adding glycerin to the water might just be the answer. I have never soaked them overnight in water alone, preferring to soak the 8mms for 45mins and then pouring away the remaining water and adding a little flavour/colour liquid. In the morning they're right, even the centres. I shall try the glycerin next time!
These are my favourite expanders the best on the market 👌🏻🎣🎣
Love the video my question is you mentioned glycerin based additive, how do i know it contains glycerin
Always thinking always watching and prepared to experiment a champion at work
Cathoir Dirk
Used today with pole with a fantastic result
Sounds like a 10mm hookable expander from sonubaits will suite you Jamie. Good luck I am sure Sonubaits will be the one you use and promote from now on.
all my pellets are sonu baits from hard to expanders 2mm- 8mm i would not use anything else. tried and trusted brand
Hi Jamie, always enjoy your content and glad to see you have joined Sonubaits, brilliant products and information from all consultants, I have been fishing a couple of years now and started shallow fishing, can you advise what elastic to use in my new short shallow kits, I use Matrix Slik hybrid elastic, thanks in advance Jamie :)
Quality product always use them, great tips Jamie
Nice tips there Jamie I love a bit of bomb I def give that a go
Game changers them pellets easy to prep great to use
Great video Jamie. Please tell hook lengths , And why they make a difference if any.ie 4" or 1 2" even 2 4". Let us know. 🤔
Am I happy they have signed u Jamie looking forward to the upcoming videos
Was doing this 20years ago albeit with pumped expanders,I now do something different, more durable👍😁
Great video jamie nice to see you at somubaits
Watch out dessy boy the king of the fish is here 😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎
Anthony Cadman. Des won't be in the least bit concerned. He is a world class angler with experience in every aspect of our sport. Jamie is not as experienced on the more natural venues used for international competitions. Jamie is without doubt a forward thinking fishing machine but I'd say Des is a more complete angler. No disrespect intended.
Nice one Jamie top job cheers 🐳🐳👍
What size hooks was Jamie using on his rig. please?
Nice video but when will the pro expanders be available again in Belgium ?
Many thanks Jochen
I found they could be pecked away by small fish, without being eaten whole. So went back to something harder?
Huge fan of these pellets.. only issue i have is that when having multiple options, I'm always faced with quite some leftovers after a session.. how do you store them for the next session and how long can you keep them?
I try an air tight bag and freeze them, seem to last ok. Might need a sprinkle or fine spray during the day you use them.
Another way is to put them in the pellet pump ( no water) and extrude the air or you can now buy food containers that extrude the air and will stay fresh indefinately,another is the small machine that caterers use which extrude the air and seal the bag which keeps it fresh and doesnt affect the structure unlike freezing.
Jml direct sell them for £32 with 4 metres of bags included online. 👍
Sorry to go on but you can actually cook hemp in the bags,boil in the bag style so no oils are lost or freshness even the bags are reusable! The choices are endless!
Hi how long do they last after you have expanded them and do you keep them in liquid cheers
I understand that this video shows what Jamie does with the expander for bookmark and hair rigging. Now I can tell you depending on the weather match anglers like to pump fresh halfway through a match but overnight is out of the question and so is waiting an hour or two so in effect this video is incomplete and should be re done to tackle this issue should you want to feed these and keep as hookers or hair rigging. You can see by the comments that there is confusion and can you please slow down Jamie's explanations to Andy findlays way of instruction it's just too fast. My question is for speed can we pump them and still retain that structure even if we add glycerin or not.? Robert.
never pump expanders.
Hi I've only just started using expanders I've got these 8mm I prep the night before do you leave them in the liquid when ur fishing or drain them off ?
For this, Jamie keeps them out of water but keeps them out of the sun or covered with a damp towell to prevent them drying out.
For hooking direct, they can be kept in water 👌
@@Sonubaits thank you very much for the advice
Will you be joining Preston too? Nothing against Matrix of course, but Preston excel IMO
Believe fox/matrix have just bought out Preston ….. if this is true , the bigger issue is what’s going to happen to Joe and Des !
@@cwp0 It's a company called Rather Outdoors that now own the Preston Innovations & Zebco brands.
As an example... Look at Rather Outdoors as the 'Volkswagon Group' of the fishing world. Under that banner come Volkswagon, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley Motors, Bugatti...
By the same token Rather Outdoors have Preston Innovations, Sonubaits, Korum, Avid, Browning, Fox, Matrix plus more under their umbrella.
@@Sonubaits well at least they are not an EU company, i think i would have given up fishing after 50 years if they were. i just hope we don't get any nasty cheap imports from America and standards an quality remain as good as they've always been at Preston and sonu baits
its a bit of a fiasco really , a few months ago you was promoting spotted fin as if they were the best n now its sonubaits , , its all about the sponsorship , you are not the first and wont be the last to change companies
Nice video Jamie interesting so will you have some ready for the final the weekend hope you do well will be watching as our club are there on Sunday so tight lines 🎣🎣🎣⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
hi Jamie which hook lengths are you using.
What's a hook length
a hook length is the length of line from the bomb to the hook@@pauljames8642
I use a 15”
Jamie do you just tip the pellets in a tub the next day and add no extra juice or water
silly question what size hooks would you use for different pellet sizes is there an overlap
Great choice Jamie. I never use anything else.
Would gelatine have same effect as glesarine
It’s new angler in the sonubaits team?
You could buy those, nice pellets. Or for example you could just go to Packington Somers fishery and buy 4 bags of pellets for £6. How much does one of these Sonu pellet bags cost?
These are hookbaits, the pellets at Packington are feed pellets... They go hand in hand. These are £3.99 per bag and will last a number of sessions. You only need to prepare enough for a single session.
@@Sonubaits These are nice pellets, don't get me wrong. The pellets I've bought I use them on the hook (banded) and for feeding too.
He's on his way to PI
Adam Richards is with sonubaits or at least was when he was at shimano
Bought 2 bags of 4'6'and 8mm prepared then as Jamie did didn't turn out the same then watched des ships video and he does them differently so sonubaits which is correct because now I have binned 6 bags of pellets. AND gone back to previous source of pellets lost faith in sonubaits
Killer!
Hi can u use any of the bait booster or do u have to use the one Jamie using Could I use banoffee or any of the others thanks
Hi Steven,
You can use any you would like and can give yourself a little edge with your flavour of preference. 👌
Can you do these pellets in bulk?
Jamie I thought you said you used hard pellets because you knew the don’t come off like expanders
exactly, many times!
Hi do all the bait booster contain glycerin or is it that one Jamie is using thanks
Hi Steven,
They all have the same base ingredients. Just different colours and flavours. So all down to personal preference. Those that are more noticably coloured (Fluoro and Banoffee for example) will also colour your pellets a little also. 👌
How do you keep them when fishing. In water or just in a tub?
Jamie just keeps them in a tub, but covers with a damp towel if very hot or sunny
Do you clip up on the bomb Jamie as you would a method
Hi Bryan,
Bomb is attached to a snaplink swivel free running up the line. A small stop is fixed above the hooklength connection to stop it sliding past.
@@Sonubaits do you clip up your distance ?
Apologies Bryan, misread your initial question!
No, Jamie doesn't clip up when fishing a bomb.
@@Sonubaits thanks for the reply. I thought I’d heard him say that on a video in the past.
What’s the best haze for the red expander…. Bloodworm ? Thanks
Bloodworm or Spicy Sausage 👌
Spotted fin not watching this? 😂😂😂
I just use them dry in a bait band
Top !
👌
The legend now has the best bait, good luck everyone your going to need it lol
Wanna send me your old spotted fin kit jamie? Lol All the best mate with sonu, always used their pellets esp the expanders, no faff! Good luck for Fish o too. 👍
Next time i see you on a match i'm going to look what you are using to see if you practice what you preach.
Is he a preston sponsered angler as well now
No, just Sonu (and Matrix)
What happened to spotted fin?
He's left and joined Sonubaits... 🙂
Tut
if heez telling you this....heez already got some other trick working.. .. ..
Free F1 sweet now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂
U a sonubaits boy now then?????
Watch out dessy boy the king is here 🎣🎣🎣🎣😎
3 million pellets lol?
👍✋
That's the worse kept secret in match fishing
But now he's allowed to say it out loud! 😉
I didn’t know
@@briannorton2676 were you been 🙈
I all ways have been a bit slow on the uptake lol
I just use them dry in a bait band
Isn't that the same as fishing a hard pellet in essence ?
@@topfuelteddy for some reasen they take them better then lets say a krill/helibut pellets
