Baitworks new bait

In my opinion Steve they are best kept frozen . I put mine in 200 gram batches and freeze them . Then I take them out per session. It depends how much you want to feed and use etc .

When I get a fresh bag I put them in a bucket with a lid on . I add some liquids .. only a slight amount to skin them . I leave them in the bucket for 24 hours to soak up the liquids . Then weigh them in batches and freeze .

😎👍
Recieved mine today - great service. Looking forward to trying the Pro flow boilies. Also got some atlantic heat pellets and boilies as i did ok on them in the summmer. Can you dry freezer aits so they last longer? Never used them before.

Thanks - going to do what you suggest, then make some paste with 200g of them. Watched a vid on YT and he reccomends xanthanum (sp!) gum to make it last longer.
 
Thanks Barry and others for updates here as those Spec'ed Up Boilies look very tasty and have made an order from Baitworks today. I'll have to sort out prep area in the garage I think as wifey isn't keen on me using the overflow freezer for my 'stinky shit' as she puts it.

One point on Steve's last update on the usage of xanthan gum is this is more a binding agent as being Coeliac myself I use this for baking stuff so it's very gluepy as I would put it. Don't need a lot but would be interested to know how paste trials go.

Thanks all for the updates as always so may give these also a try for the carp in local lakes. Assume they'd like these Spec'ed up offerings.
 
I actually fancy the Monster Red more. I'm usually wary of 'barbel' specific products.

So much easier than in the 80's sorting out mixes (from Carp Fever) and rolling boilies yourself. Times have changed from having a cupboard full of powders/concoctions more like an Alchemist.
😆 I'm still like that with my cheese pastes for chub fishing . I make a new one each autumn and they are scientific !!😃🎣

This year's is called 'Eric' 😎

Hi men

Not baitworks , but iv been using Sticky Baits Capoil this year , caught everywhere on it , some great fishing in France and a Colne valley water . Over pellets and munga , in solid bags their reaction to it was fantastic. You can tell when they were in the swim , and really helped if I was getting slicked up with no bites I knew I had been done or not got it quite right , leading to some big carp on a recast . Recommended for summer use , screams barbel , I went through loads of it . I had a big carp pooing out bait as I released it , and had faint line of oil coming off it 😁

Baitworks hot fish oil is similar 👍
