zeds and fish bits

just wondering what the view is on using fish chunks as zander bait
instead of whole fish.
problem being the water i get my baits from is only throwing up big roach and i mean big at the moment smallest i got today was about 6 inches all were returned to the water but it has put the planned weekend trip on hold

I regularly use 'chunks', especially when I'm running low on bait.....

i would be using the 6 inch roach, best bait going!

I've got more 4'' to 6'' Rudd than you can throw a stick at

Chunks of fish can be a very good bait for Zeds!

fish bits it is but has anyone tried cocktail baits such as
a chunk of roach and a chunk of say smelt?
daft question but i am curious!

But do you catch on them?

How big was it?

The half herring is my first choice of dead-bait in the winter.

was only a small one about 4lb, i did have another run that i missed later on, i pulled quite hard so i think it could have been bigger.
herring is a great bait.

I like to use 3-4" Roach or Rudd, sometimes slightly bigger but I'll take the heads off though some of my mates use Eel and Lamprey sections, smaller than Pike bait size though.
