Product Information
Full details
The Ringers Pellet Wafter (XL) is an essential tool for coarse anglers who demand a reliable, balanced hookbait that mimics natural food sources. Designed to achieve neutral buoyancy, it effectively counteracts the weight of your hook to ensure a natural presentation that triggers strikes from cautious fish. While its XL size is perfect for larger specimens, it may require smaller hook sizes to maintain optimal balance in certain water conditions.

FAQs
Are these wafters pre-flavored?
They feature a neutral, natural pellet base that is designed for maximum absorption of any glugs or boosters you choose to apply.
What is the best way to attach these to a rig?
These are best used with a bait band or a hair rig using a bait stop.
How long do they last once the tub is opened?
If kept in the original container with the lid tightly secured in a cool, dry place, they will remain effective for a standard fishing season.
Can I use these for winter fishing?
Yes, their natural presentation is excellent for lethargic fish; however, you might consider downsizing to a smaller variant if the fish are feeding very tentatively.
Do I need to soak them in water before use?
No, they are ready to use straight out of the tub.
Troubleshooting
Bait sinks to the bottom completely
The hook size may be too heavy; switch to a lighter gauge or slightly smaller hook to restore neutral buoyancy.
Bait floats too high
Use a larger hook or add a small amount of weight (like a split shot) to the rig to pin the bait closer to the bottom.
Bait coming off during casting
Ensure the bait band is tight or check that the hair rig loop is not fraying; consider using a quick-stop for a more secure connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize effectiveness, always test your chosen hook size in a small pot of water before casting; the bait should hover slightly above the hook. You can attach these to your rig using a standard bait band or by hair-rigging through the center. To preserve the longevity of the baits, ensure the lid of the 70g container is closed tightly after each use to prevent them from drying out. If you wish to glug the baits, place a small quantity in a separate sealable bag or jar and add your chosen flavoring 24 hours before your session for maximum absorption.
