Pellets

Hi Gentlemen,

Can anyone give me the low down on types and use of pellets. Being older
than life itself it seems I now need to know about these things as they are
the in bait that works. I would prefer not to use a hair rig if possible but
it seems it is the preferred way to fish them.

Oh yes, since when have we had blue maggots and why? The only ones that work
seem to be red for me and my local bream are certainly not patriotic as they
did not touch a red, a white and blue on one hook.

Is it me or does the whole idea of make things simple and natural gone out
of the stain glassed window.
