Fished overnight Friday after work on our little syndicate, I was happy to see one of the pretty little mirrors we stocked back in last May at 6.6lb out at 9.9lb and nutty male common at 15.12lb I've had before, both fish heading in the right direction and both were caught on a herb hard hooker straight on the bottom.

In reply to Post #693 Some of the liquids in the hookbaits are very potent, others not so much.
Krill and cal is strong, sting also and deep c stays with me all day 😂
The booster liquids are there for you to decide wether you need them or not!
Some of the lads fishing in silt and onion weed go mad with them whereas others like myself tend to use a few drops after 2/3 weeks and then I leave them alone.
Buoyancy on a wafter…….
If you get a bland wafter that is made out of nothing edible, the buoyancy should remain for a good few hours.
Adding foods and milks and additives increases the attraction but also those same products can allow water ingress. I’m happier knowing that it tastes and smells better even if they are laid on the deck. The wafter is the hardest hookbait to make for everyone and to be honest we sell thousands and they catch a cart load of fish. I’ll happily send you some replacements jo. Remember that even if it is laid on the floor after 8 hours, it is still weightless compared to freebies of the same size!!
Did you all see the catch reports from the last week on the krill and cal? Those lads alone must have had ten tins between them and all those mega fish came to them! A hookbait made from fishmeal, krill, calanus, minamino, liver is always gonna catch a few carp!

In reply to Post #694 I've not done well on them to be honest which is why I bought the booster. Mine came unglugged so got the booster and gave them a light coating. Not going to France for a few weeks but thought it was worth doing now giving them plenty of time to soak and dry. Sting is definitely my go to hookbait at the moment and banoffee my pop up of choice having done me multiple 30s this year

In reply to Post #693 Had a few on my krill and cal wafters. They smell lovely. Unfortunately they came glugged and it has affected the buoyancy but decent hookbaits none the less

In reply to Post #691 Just opened the Krill and Cal booster liquid to prep my wafters for France and wow it's potent. Got a bit on my fingers and no matter how many times I've washed them cannot get the scent off!!! So glad I've not felt the need to boost my sting baits!!!

In reply to Post #688 We left this morning, with a few fish under our belt and lots of chocolate consumed 😂
My mate who came with us and his daughter relocated to a new swim and had a 30lb mirror within minutes.
Tricknut working for me and tricknut/herb working for him!
