In these cases, I'd recommend something along the lines of Miracle Baits Soft hookers (others makes are also available), straight from the tub to the hook, can handle being chucked with the feeder too
I'd suggest getting a pellet pump and just making your hooker pellets out of your feed pellets. Its alot cheaper and my personal experiance is that i get more bites off pellets ive pumped which are the same as ive been feeding rather than a tub of ready made hookers that are different to the feeder pellets.
