As far as sinking vs. floating my feed trained fish (especially the large ones) prefer sinking if they have a choice. I hydrate all my feed and if I pinch it to sink it, I get an immediate taker in the pond within 1 to 3 feet of the surface.

I believe this is due to two things:

1. Easier to just inhale it below the surface (less effort).

2. The fish feel more secure inhaling a slow sinking pellet below the surface vs. exposing themselves on the surface.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
