Simple Match Fishing Forum

I get a decorater in; he usually brings a bit of paste with him

funny you should say that Bill I've been painting this week can't wait to get back doing what I should be doing 

I much prefer to use groundbait to make my paste. Swimstim Green and Crazy Bait Strawberry cover most of my paste fishing.

I add hot water to the groundbait in an old large casserole dish. Stir it up and then use an old potato masher to ensure it all mixes evenly. If I have time before I need it I will then freeze it as I find this improves the texture making the paste smoother (spread it into flat parcels as it takes less time to defrost than a large ball.)

If I need to make from pellets I would grind into powder and make the same way as with groundbait.

Hi I use £1 shop expanders (dont know if they still do them ) grind them up add some sea salt ,then add water on the bank.Used loads of other ways but this worked best for me ,hope this helps.

well that helps me alot thanks guys its just so many people have their own methods and own preferences that it can be a a bit confusing for a simpleton like me.

thanks for all the help

I use Ringers paste, comes in a bag, with a line to fill it upto with water, follow the instructions and its idiot proof... Iv caught well on it too

Gale when the weather starts to get a bit warmer, get down your local commercial obviously where they allow paste and just have a mess around with various people's takes on paste and you will start to find your own method on paste and what works for you  just don't forget mate keep it simple water pellets
