Mielies laat sukkel my ook, ek het reeds al gewonder of dit nie dalk die 'gekoopte' mielies is nie soos Pan sê nie, daarmee bedoel ek die mielies by die hengelwinkels, sal die mielies uit die blik nie dalk beter werk nie wonder ek? Ek het maar min sukses gehad op kleiner floaties, my gunsteling is die groterige geel floaties met n degie, nnie soveel rooies nie, maar ek hou hulle almal maar altyd byderhand...
What I find is that still using a #1 hook, use 2 x floaties with a pice of dough double the size of the floaties.
This leads to bigger fish picking up the bait.
With Carp feeding by inhaling the bait more bigger fish = more suction = bigger bait picked up.
The idea of the 2 small floaties is to keep the bait critically balanced (it doesn't float but lays gently on the bottom)
The floaties give bulk to the bait and other than in the case with the mielies they dislodge when you strike so the don't prevent a good hookset.
I learnt this from Catch 1195 who continuously weighs bigger fish in competitions and has ended in the top 3 in the last 2 SA's and Provincial champs by virtue of the added weight he gets from the few bigger fish he picks up in the comp.
If you switch to a big floatie then I would recommend a #2 hook as minimum.
Guys remember this we sell 25 #5 hooks for every 1 x #1 hook and it's these hooks that need the big floaties.

Mielies is great vir groot vis, maar dan moet jy jou self reg maak om n bietji te sit en wag.Die grooter hoek ding weet ek nie so mooi nie mens sal ma net moet kyk sodat die aas met die groter hoek nie te swaar raak nie.Groot vis is groot omdat hulle slim is so as dit te swaar voel sal hulle vesigtig wees.:sa:
