Best way to pellet train???

[jamncook]

I need help? They are hitting it but spitting it out after a little while. Will they eventually eat it?

Yes. The hard part is already done if they are going after them. Just keep offering pellets and nothing else and they will eat them eventually

X2, but make sure they are good quality pellets like Massivore, carni pellets or they will eventually get turned off of them.

ok so this is a no fail method.

Keep feeding bloodworms but throw in the whole frozen cube. once he eats the cube whole you got him.

Take a tray of bloodworm cubes pop them all out and defrost them in your favorite cereal bowl. mix in your pellet of choice 15 percent to start, mix and spread mixture back into bloodworm tray, refreeze. pop out a couple and feed bass. he will take it. then make higher percentage pellet to worm cubes and continue to feed. soon he will be wacking pellets. Be forwarned as to one of my other threads. It may make your fish a little, how do you say, fond of the male bass with the big hump.

the other element that helps is competition, or more bass. this makes the process even easier.

Try this method below. Some had success. I am not going to bother training them on pellets until they are 3-4". If they are under 3" you should get them on blood worms or tilapia.

Try some frozen bloodworms. THaw em out into a small cup. Drain the liquid carefully once thawed. Crush up some pellets of your choice real fine. The smellier the better....like massivore. Mix those crushed pellets in with the blood worms. MIx em til the mixture is kinda pasty. Let em soak for a couple mintues(the mixture you just made). Now feed w/ a spoon. A little at a time. Feed in the same spot each time. Just a dab so that it wont hit the bottom. Once they are used to this they will slam the spoon. Each couple days add a little more pellets. Eventually they will be eatin the pellets you have been mixn.

Ok thanks. They do except blood worms, I do that same method but freeze the cubes after mixed and they float when thrown in the tank. They hit small pieces of krill
