When are more 14 / 15mm out?

All I can say is the HC hookbaits have been a newly acquired confidence in a pot for me, from finding this thread I ordered the Eaton's and Pineapples to try, first time out and one carp on the bank with the Eaton's second week out three further takes on both Eaton's and Pineapples albeit two tench one at 8+ lb another at 9.11 and a double figure bream, blanks on the lake I'm fishing are the norm so happy with the string being pulled by any species really especially good specimen sized ones.
The lake is not easy to fish, around 50 acres with limited bank and swims for us to fish, not a massively high stock but considering we have about 300 metres of bank to fish from it can be quite tricky as the fish can be 4 or 500 hundred yards away and only in our area at certain times of the year or weather conditions dependent so when they do come into range you want to know your hook bait is at least fishing effectively, a good mate/fishing buddy of mine had a look at the baits after me catching first time out, coincidence maybe?
He took the plunge and is a corkball fan so ordered the Krill and Can and Oily Salmon , he had them with him the weekend just gone his fishing was at a range 130+ to an area you cannot access from anywhere else similar to my first one on the Eaton's so singles were the order of the day for him, he managed three at the weekend on the K&C's all over 20lb with one of those fish at least over 45 years old and doesn't grace the bank that often some of them quite regularly go uncaught for years, he was over the moon first time out with the baits and caught more in one weekend than he had managed in his previous season, mind you half a dozen fish for the year is a decent result for most, his confidence has just shot through the roof and it was great to be with him and witness it, I have just placed another order this morning as it's hard for me to ignore his result on the K&C's corkballs this weekend just gone, again coincidence? I don't seem to think so or at least i'm being convinced it's not.

Evening lads, been busy moving from the old unit to the new one today (yes on a bank holiday 😂  .
Colours, well I will do my best to explain. Sting in yellow is made from a very soluble dye. It’s that perfect sweet corn yellow when you get them and launch them in but they will certainly wash out within hours to a nice pale yellow. It is one of the things I love about that specific pop up. The mix is designed to let flavour out or in if you choose to spray soak or coat in anything, but without losing buoyancy.
Eton mess pink........that is made from a fluro pink dye and will not wash out to the same extent. They area a nice pink and everyone seems to love that colour for some reason. The almond is bright pink! The new squid is the one that makes my phone bleep constantly at the moment and I dropped one into 18 foot of water for 18 hours and it came back looking almost the same as it went in. Not all dyes react the same. The yellow is the most soluble by far and if you test them in a tank you will see this clearly. The new coconut is a grey colour and that doesn’t seem to change much in water. Thanks for the nice words from everyone below it keeps us going when we are drowning in muck and squid flavour 😉

Thanks for the very kind offer mate, I'm going to order some anyway, there's a few other bits I fancy now off the back of this thread.

The squids are awesome and will be getting tested next weekend. I love the way that the Stings wash out on the outside but remain exactly the same inside

If the pink is anything like the sting yellow they wash out lovely to a very pale yellow almost white

I liked the look of those but still looked a bit bright, difficult to tell off a web page.
A couple of years back I bought some washed out Pink pop ups, for the life of me I can't remember who's, possibly Nash. Out of the pot lovely, but when reeled in a few hour's later they had changed colour to a super bright Pink, they went in the bin.

Thanks for getting back to me mate.
Hopefully you get a few requests for the 12mm wafters lol if not you will have to let me know when the little dumbell wafters are ready and I will trim them down to size

Yes we can as we ran 12mm peanut trials and they worked well. It’s the little barrel dumbells most lads want so we are working on them! Our problem is that many people want odd shapes or sizes so we need to keep the range in some sort of order. We already have lots of things on the drawing board 😉. But if enough people ask for the little 12mm Wafters then we can knock up a batch. Only a few have asked for the 20mms but I know that will rise in the summer
