Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations catching grass carp

Ken,
That is one part I left out of my PBoss article about softening high protein pellets. If one softens 32% protein pellets the dough will not stay on the hook very long. The softened dough-like mixture of high protein pellets will hold its form well when molded on a hook and it can make good bait for pellet feeding fish. The main disadvantage to this is it teaches pellet feeding fish to be hesitant when feeding on pellets thus I rarely use the technique. Getting hooked and being jerked around by the jaw is pretty strong negative reinforcement.
