Trout Pellet v Carp Pellet???

[peakoverload]

Having not rejoined my club this season because they lost the lake that I only ever fished I'm planning a trip back to Bury Hill Fisheries in Dorking which I've only fished once around 15 years ago but had a really nice catch there.

Having not fished it in so long I thought I'd better have a look at their website to see what their rules were and was baffled by their rule 10:

All particle baits with the exception of sweet corn, hemp and carp pellet are banned, no trout pellets, peas, beans, nuts or maize

What's the difference between trout pellets and carp pellets then? I always thought they were one in the same. I've seen pellets in tackle shops labeled as:

Trout Pellets
Carp Pellets
Pellets
Hookable Pellets
Soft Pellets
Floating Pellets
etc
etc

Are Bury Hill really saying that unless it says Carp Pellet on the packet you can't use it?

Ahh interesting, I didn't know that. But then the pellets I normally use are the Sonu Hali-Hookers (on the hook) and then pretty much any brand for non hookable loose feed.

The Hali Hookers don't say Carp or Trout on them just Pellets so would they fall into the banned or allowed category, the sonubaits website doesn't shed any light on the matter?

i would class them as a carp pellet.

As it says on the tin

One is manufactured for trout and the other carp
