Review of Pellet by
BJEEE
Advantages: The plain stuff is very cheap. As a whole, this is a brilliant bait!!!!!
Disadvantages: Fattens fish so they look funny sometimes, can get overfed which fishery owners don't like. In fact they are banned on a fair few venues these days.
...a lot about the ways of feeding them in previous ops (you know how I like to stray off topic), so I won’t repeat myself too much again.
Basically though, if you’re fishing the pole, introduce a couple of big catapult of polepot (I don’t recommend the polepot for feeding pellet when you’re after Bream. They seem to get too concentrated and you’ll foul-hook loads) fulls at the start, and then maybe another 20 every 2 or 3 minutes.
If you’re after bigger Carp on float tackle (remember the waggler Moose??), I’d do pretty much the same. If ledgering for the bigger carp though, I’d recommend using a PVA bag and holding a fair amount of pellet in that, to keep the feed tight around the bait.
It can be added to any groundbait, especially the smaller sizes, anything up to 8mm. Even...

Review of Shakespeare Gold Odessa Match Rod. by
casterman
Advantages: Good balance, light and fast.
Disadvantages: None that I can see.
...smashing off at distance.
I have used this rod for fishing with small floats under the rod tip to large 2 swan wagglers casting up to 40 yards and fishing in 12 feet of water.
I have a shimano ultgera rod which was very expensive but when it comes to fishing the waggler on a still water then Odessa is the one I reach for every time. I have landed carp to 10lb on 1.7lb line without any trouble and this rod has more than paid for its self in fishing matches, catching bags of silver fish both under the rod tip to fishing at 30 yards.
If you can get hold of one of these rods now, do so as it will be one of the best purchases you are likely to make....
