Full details
Designed for dedicated catfish anglers, these Bait-Tech 20mm pre-drilled pellets are engineered to trigger aggressive feeding responses through a slow-release, intense flavour profile. While they are highly effective for targeting catfish in various environments, users should note that the 350g pack size is best suited for shorter sessions or as a targeted hookbait rather than heavy pre-baiting campaigns.

FAQs
Are these pellets suitable for carp fishing?
While catfish are the primary target, the Red Halibut and Krill profile is an attractant that some large carp will investigate, though the size is specifically geared toward catfish.
How long do the pellets last in the water?
Breakdown time varies based on water temperature and the presence of crayfish or nuisance fish, but they are designed for extended release, typically lasting several hours.
Can I use these with PVA bags?
Yes, they are compatible with most PVA products as they are an oil-based bait that does not melt PVA mesh or bags.
Do I need to soak these in liquid attractant?
They come pre-infused with intense flavour, but you can certainly add extra glug or liquid booster to customize the scent profile for specific water conditions.
How many pellets come in a 350g pack?
The quantity varies by weight, but 350g is generally sufficient for several sessions when used primarily as a hookbait.
Troubleshooting
Bait sliding off the hair rig during casting
Ensure you are using a large, high-quality bait stop or a 'bait screw' to lock the pellet securely in place.
Bait breakdown is too fast
In extremely warm water, pellets naturally break down faster. Use a PVA mesh wrap to provide an extra layer of protection and prolong the bait's life on the bottom.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready-to-use pre-drilled format
- Strong, multi-layered scent profile
- Highly durable breakdown rate
- Proven effective for catfish species
Cons
- Small 350g quantity is not ideal for heavy baiting
- Single size option might not fit all rig types
- Specific to catfish, less versatile for other species
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize effectiveness, thread the bait onto a sturdy hair rig using a thin baiting needle. Given the 20mm diameter, use a large enough hair stop to ensure the bait does not slide off during powerful casts. For storage, keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and shaded environment to prevent the volatile fish oils and flavours from degrading prematurely. While the pellets are durable, avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can affect the structure and scent potency of the bait.
