Tried paste today for the 1st time, a real learning curve with some success. Using pre maid rigs was a mistake early on as they generally shot a float at evenly down to the hook. The issue here is that when shipping out with your paste in the cup, the weights swing about all over the place and caused terrible tangles. I resorted to making my own rig with one shot 4 inches from the hook. However after watching Bens video , I will shot directly below the float next time. I tried a rig with no weights, only the paste to make my float stand up, this method worked as I knew as soon as my paste came off the float would lay flat on the surface. I netted 11lb of larger roach using this method while my friends netted double that in carp using the method feeder. Although the temptation was to revert to the method feeder rod, I stuck to the pole and paste as I feel sure it will see improved returns once I master the system. Thanks for the video Ben, most helpful.

What another good day you've had Ben in the right hands paste is a deadly bait and you certainly know how to use it very well fantastic video yet again

Excellent info on paste so impressed i am going to give it a go on my next trip thanks again

Great video Ben, also I tried the beetroot at the weekend after watching your video last week,wow amazing what a net fish I had, thanks

A useful video, with some key points to work to, tall pot, pellets to inside so that the paste does not stick to the pot whilst adding a feed to munch over, correct side to turn pole to avoid tangles and key point about fish making swim deeper as they munch around.

Excellent mate enjoyed it cheers

Great vid Ben great method on its day it can be devastating.👍

Great video ben enjoyed watching this

Thanks for this. Very helpful.

top video well explained

Hi Ben,

great vid ben ive not tried paste fishing so found this very helpful ,but you did not show the plumbing of the paste float ,which i have noticed nobody seems to discuss with paste fishing ,but probably most important part

To give me more confidence with paste is it worth putting on a hook with a band or quick stop to give the paste more to grip to, or even use a pellet and mould the paste round it. Or is that cheating.😂

I always use rod and real, but thinking about a pole. How do you know much line to use between the elastic to the hook? Cheers

David Barr - What is the maximum depth for fishing paste. Thank you

Was the open water float a Progen paste float same applies to the margin float of which Progen make a margin paste float.

Hi Ben love all you information mate. So are the 2 shots just below the float there just so make it self cock? And generally when pole fishing are you trying to fish dead depth if your using the paste to take the float tip lower into the water?

Vheers for the vid I keep foul hooking them majority of the time so is that a depth thing?

Great videos Ben, newbie to paste question, how long does the paste stay on the hook? Does it break up into the water like groundbait? Hate to be sat there with an empty hook! Cheers steve
