Mix it up this winter

A good tip to try this coming winter is to mix up your baits instead of just going in with the more traditional approach of using one specific flavour, mix and size. I’ve done quite well in recent times using a combination of small baits, mixes of Squid & Octopus and BYT Wedges, with 6mm Secret and Top Bananas, plus 18mm Dairy Cream and Club Mix boilies. There’s very few lads that go in with this approach, and I’m convinced it’ll work on most waters. You don’t need to go overboard with it in case you over-bait, keep it nice and light. Maybe a small bag filled with a sprinkle, or a handful in a hopper of a bait boat or a couple of spods worth is all that you need. I’m sure the different sizes, colours as well as the mixture of different chemicals in the swim draws the fish in, especially those which see a lot of angling pressure. It’s been working OK for me, so give it a try and see for yourself.
