The Nytro Pellet Bander is an essential, time-saving tool designed to make baiting up faster and more efficient than ever before. Featuring a smooth, spring-loaded action and uniquely designed sturdy metal arms, this tool completely eliminates the frustration of fiddling with tiny latex bands with cold, wet fingers.

It is incredibly versatile, providing exactly the right amount of stretch and control for banding hard pellets and mini boilies, right through to incredibly delicate natural baits like redworms, dead maggots, and even bloodworm.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip
Here at Gerry’s, we recommend keeping your bander loaded and ready to go! Pick up a band with the closed metal arms, but don’t press the plunger to stretch it until the exact moment you are ready to insert your bait. This preserves the elasticity of your latex bands (like the Nytro Latex Pellet Bands) and stops them from perishing or snapping prematurely. Also, when banding soft pellets or meat, push the bait slightly past the middle point of the open band so it grips the firmest part of the bait when you release the spring!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Will this bander work with micro 2.5mm bait bands? Absolutely. The metal arms meet at a very fine point when closed, allowing you to easily pick up and stretch even the smallest micro bands on the market without snapping them.
-
Does it crush soft baits like expander pellets or maggots? No, because you control the release. The spring-loaded action allows you to gently release the tension of the band around the bait, meaning you can secure soft hookbaits without cutting through or crushing them.
-
Will this rust if it gets wet on the bank? The sturdy metal arms are designed for outdoor angling use, but to keep the spring mechanism buttery smooth for years, we recommend giving the tool a quick wipe down and occasionally adding a single drop of reel oil to the internal spring if it gets soaked in the rain.
