Not if you take time applying the liquids and letting the hookbaits draw them

I’m not sure if it was the bait that made the difference or me learning new things about the lake. I like to think it was a mixture of the two. Interestingly, I had two rods out, one with a soaked pop up and one with a non soaked pop up and the carp one went for the non soaked one. Proves they are attractive without the soak.

I always wonder what good is applying any sort of liquid to a hookbait when surely it just washes off as soon as it hits the water?

Ken Townley said he uses crunchy peanut butter mixed with a whey protein on some of his baits.

As a hookbait paste wrap for bottom baits...

They’re spot on mate. Keep up the good work. Caught me my first carp on a very hard water.

I only asked about the peanut butter coating because there’s a thread about just that at the moment. Ken townley said he uses crunchy peanut butter mixed with a whey protein on some of his baits.

What about a hemp and garlic pop up?

If anyone is buying your baits and then soaking them in goo, they need putting on the blocked list.

Cheers for the comments lads, and well done for catching those fish. I wouldn’t add anything to the pop ups personally as they are made with several layers of attraction from things like minamino, fruit palatants, sweetners, milks, fishmeal etc. But I also realise you guys love almond goo or mainline sprays or whatever so we just make sure the buoyancy will take it. At the end of the day you guys need to be confident. The peanut pop up is made from peanut protein…..no need to add anything to that! We have been working hard this week to keep up with orders and next week looks busy too. Super squid and red legend have sold incredibly well. We have really enjoyed making these baits and we are always looking out for that next edge😉

In your opinion, would coating a peanut pop up in crunchy peanut butter add any attraction to the bait?
