What are some of the best smelling freezer boilers about? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg buying stuff like Nash at £60 a bag. After Something decent, but works well.

When I say ‘best' I mean worst (but best for the carp).

Baitworks royal marine, cause an argument with your Mrs when you bring them inside.

Are they as bad as the sticky baits krill?
They'd turn a Staffordshire bull sick

Why does it have to stink? Some of the best baits don't smell much at all

My syndicate is silty, smelly baits work better on silt (so I've been told by some experienced anglers), as the boilie takes on the smell of the silt faster otherwise

Give A.B.S a ring ask Geoff which bait he would recommend for your situation. You won't do better than that. Especially if you don't want to spend £12.25/kg for mainline etc.

It's not down to a smelly bait in my opinion. There is multiple thinks you can do to stop baits stinking of silt one is to re hydrate your bait so it has taken on as much water as it can hold therefore won't take in anymore once out in the lake. A reduced boiling time so it's still paste like in the middle will combat this also. A stinky bait will still suck up that horrible smell it's just masked from us by the potent flavours. If your worried I would just re hydrate them and use any bait you have confidence in

Why is it comical? It wouldn't be the first time I've heard that smelly baits work on heavily silted lakes better.

The bit about strong baits not drawing in silt smells as much. Total nonsense. How strong a bait smells has absolutely no effect on how much a bait draws in silt smells. The key is to make your baits saturated so they don't have any way of drawing in the smell of the silt. Soak your hookbaits in glug, particle water, anything else you want really just to make sure they don't keep absorbing. Then you can use any bait you want.

Plus, what does the food that live in the silt smell of? Do you really believe fish cant “smell” a bait thats in the silt?
Heavily flavoured baits probably work because of things other than hte “smell” - maybe Ph change, for example.....

Since carp can't smell, the smell of a bait isn't important.
Carp got triggered by molecules that come in contact with their receptors.
I would base my choice of bait on how they smell for humans.
Btw, inwant a very pungent smelling bait, take any and soak them in a garlic liquid

To cut out the waffle it is basically "smell" but in the water...
Its the carps olfactory sense, but there is a massive overlap between their sense of smell and taste, gustatory sense.
