As seen on CarpFishingtips youtube channel!
Pellets are a super-effective bait for a lot of species, especially carp. Most carp will have grown up eating them in one form or another. It’s like their version of comfort food. The problem with pellets is that they are rock hard, fiddly and difficult to secure on a hook. If you soak them they don’t tend to hold their shape well. If you try and make a hole in them there’s a good chance that all you will hook is your finger.
The answer is to wrap the pellet in a transparent band which can then easily be threaded onto the hook. However, the bands can also be fiddly. Fortunately, there are several devices out there to stretch the bands. They all work in a similar way. You push the nose of the tool into a band, hit the plunger and the nose spreads into 4 ‘legs’. You pop your pellet into the gap, release the plunger, hey presto, you’ve got a banded pellet.
