Well then, should I buy one bag of "bass" pellets (about three months' supply) or buy and hoard an extra bag? All I have now is "bluegill" and the big "bass throw" pellets. Ran out of a large bag of MVP about a month ago and now faced with re-stocking. I really like the Optimal "bass" pellets because they all float and they wedge into a small hook for bait...when the bluegill gets the pellet loose, he's hooked. Using (and conserving) the "bass throw" pellets for bait...cut a groove in the pellet, round it with a tiny rubber band, slip the hook under the band...catch the big bluegills of eleven or more inches, the occasional bass or hybrid striper, or one of two large channel cats (16 pounds)...the problem being, these fish get thrown back...well, you almost never land the cats on light tackle because they'll drag you into a fish attractor.
