I love using chopped worm and caster, but is there a way to bulk out my feed to make it last longer?

MY FAVOURITE method of doing this is to riddle the peat off the worms and use this to make your feed go further. Depending on the venue, this should be mixed sloppy if fishing up in the water or when targeting smaller fish, or mixed stiffer when fishing on the bottom for bigger fish such as carp or barbel.

To the peat I add a small amount of chopped worm and a handful of casters, and I feed this mix through a pole pot regularly.

You’ll be surprised at the big weights you can put together on very little bait when doing this!
