ANDY POWER | Power of the Pellet Waggler
MY THEORY FOR THE PELLET WAGGLER IS SIMPLE, FISH LIGHT AND YOU’LL CATCH MORE FISH andy power
the hook. However, if I am missing a lot of bites or losing fish, I’ll try a longer hair between the hook and hookbait. This extra hair length can sometimes make all the difference, but it depends how the fish are feeding on the day. It gives me another option and might put an extra couple of fish in my net, which is never a bad thing. All of my hooklengths are tied to six
foot and trimmed down for the depth that I need on the day, which saves me a lot of preparation time. I tie a set of hooks at six foot and that’s it, I don’t have several different lengths of the same hook. The Hooklength Spool System is ideal for rod and line hooklengths, especially longer lengths. I’ve got one box that covers all of my commercial fishing, job done!
Rod Choice
With my light line approach you need a soft rod that will cushion the lunges of big fish, especially at the net. Generally for up to 30 yards I’ll opt for the Mini Plus 11ft Float, anything further I’ll use the new Mini Plus 12ft Pellet Waggler. So there you have it, a few pellet waggler tips that’ll put more fish in your net. Get out there and give it a go!

Andy’s choice of hook is the popular PR 36 in size 16. This barbless eyed hook with an out-turned eye is ideal for hair rigging for match carp.
Andy uses the Dura Pellet Waggler 10mm Slim, it is more sensitive and suitable for days when the buoyancy of a thicker float will result in missed bites.
Made specifically for feeding pellets, the flat bottomed pouch of the Pelletpult ensures the pellets are tightly grouped when feeding.
Andy uses 8mm Fin Perfect Feed Pellets which can be used straight from the bag or softened in water. The number one choice of pellet for our anglers.
Andy’s uses 8mm Krill Pellet O’s and White Chocolate and Pineapple Semi Buoyant Band’ums as his hookbaits.
