I see this used all the time on so many rigs now. I have to say though, I don't use it as I was always paranoid about the burnt smell it left... probably nothing in it, but I'd just rather not take the chance to be honest!

(EDIT - I mean for tying the bait on)

I think you are worrying over tiny things that will make no difference or very minimal if any.

I was thinking about that recently aswell, I got to be honest I might be over thinking it but it's just something I'm a bit paranoid about

Actually carp do have nostrils, so to some extent they can smell or 'taste' the water
