There's a lot more that goes into making the best feed [macro/micro nutrients, amino acids, conversion, etc.] but wanted to implement some Skretting back into my regimen this season. https://www.skrettingusa.com/collections/all In the past I used the Steelhead formula - hoping for some feedback on the following: Thoughts on max size TH feeder can handle? 9.5 mm? Which formula would be best for SMB/HSB? [Classic Bass I'm assuming] Formula for BG? [Steelhead MB or is protein level too hot?] Interested to hear your feedback! Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Just my experience over the last 4-5 years, but a TH feeder will not reliably throw 9.5mm(3/8') pellets. That size is all I use for my larger CNBG, and it's why I went to Sweeney feeders. I've used Skretting, but just as a starter. 2.2mm #2, and very hot. Last edited by FireIsHot; 03/03/21 05:46 PM. Reason: size correction AL

Hopefully it will eliminate the problem with the TH feeders bridging and clogging with the 3/8" pellets. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

If you are feeding bass for growth I would use their bass pellet (48/18). This food a local farm uses it and gets great results for producing LMB. Last edited by Bill Cody; 03/03/21 09:03 PM.

"I don't know, you silly boy, I've never Skretted." "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling
