I have a plan to use those big pellets to nail some of my grass carp. The GC like Aquamax but are shy of panty hose arrangements. I have had trouble getting a big enough hook into a GC to hold onto it during the fight. Am thinking I can condition the GC to take the big pellets, and that they will float a big enough hook to land them with.
Doc, try a #2 Mustad "Ultra Point" Drop Shot Hook.
I landed a 14.5 GC on a "cluster" of AQMX pellets encased in panty hose.
As you know, they are leader shy - I'm using Berkley "Fireline Crystal" 14# test/6# diameter leader material - 10 wt Sage RPLX fly rod.
A
reel with a good drag helps...
They were breaking me off before I tried this technique.
Good luck..
