The new F1 Soft Hooker Pellets from the Sonubaits range have certainly helped me to success at Warwickshire commercial complex Tunnel Barn Farm, where I have recently had a second and a third overall on winter league teams matches.
The Sonu F1 Hooker is a ready-to-use pellet that requires no pumping or preparation and can be used straight from the tub.
Flavourwise, it is a fishmeal pellet with a Brasem-type additive and can be used for pole, waggler or feeder fishing.
The sizes available in the range are 4mm, 6mm and 8mm, and the biggest size are great for hair-rigging or side-hooking when Method feeder fishing.
For Tunnel barn, my approach is with the pole to target the crafty F1s that make up the bulk of the weights.
I have been using the 4mm F1 hooker pellets, and what I do is keep some on my side tray in the original tub, and have another small bait tub with just a handful of the same pellets immersed in a little water.
The water turns the pellets from their natural dark brown colour to a grey colour, and I simply alternate between the two, to catch F1s.
Feed-wise, I have been potting in a few Sonu Fin Perfect 2mm micro pellets. I prepare them by filling a two-pint Preston bait tub to within a couple of millimetres of the rim, then fill with water before putting a solid lid on the tub.
I do this first thing in the morning at home and by the time I have driven to the venue and get to my peg the pellets are ready to use, perfectly soft and nice and spongey.
