Hi Paul, I use both pellets & boilies & to be honest I don't think it really makes any difference. I only fish short 3-4 hour sessions once a week in the winter & twice a week in the summer & take a mobile aproch, so for me it is just a case of trying to find them & if I do find them & they are feeding I believe there will be no difference if I have a pellet or boilie on the hook.
If you were going to be doing a big campain on one stretch then it might worth investing in a few kg of boilies & getting the fish to see them as part of their diet.
A big part of bait is confidence, so stick with what you believe in
