Save yourself the money mate you'd catch without the Goo and just as many if not more.

Hi hunter.

I made up a couple of batches using the squid supreme. I applied it until it cut right through the white b5 pop ups I was using. Then before I cast out I applied the thicker squid goo.

I really wanted it to work as it looks and smells spot on. But in the end after about three seasons with them I've come to the conclusion it's made absolutely zero difference to my catch rates. In fact I've caught considerably more on my own corkballs and sticky buchu in the same time. The buchu, my corkers and the goo baits are all pink.

I often used all three during a session. The goo baits were by far the poorest. Which Is a bloody shame cos I really liked it.

The pink almond one appeared to turn a season around for me a few years back after I was put onto it by a mate that was emptying the place. It certainly seemed to make a difference on that particular water. Not sure if it was the colour, the flavour, or what, but it caught me most of the ones I was after that year. Not used it since but it certainly changed my views on the stuff.

I wonder if it's very water and fish specific. Maybe a squid works on one, perhaps a nutty one on another water or maybe a zesty fruity one somewhere else. Perhaps water quality, strain of fish, depth/temp all have an effect on what result if any it produces on certain waters. But with so many flavours and at £13 a bottle I'm ****ed if I'm gonna wade through them to find out!!!

Have you seen the Ali Hamidi interview on Cypography? He says the same thing and that pushing it like he has was a labour of love and not about the money, he swears by the stuff.

ive been using Goo for some time now and I believe that it has improved bites against non Goo baits.

I often have 1 or 2 of the 3 rods of a goo'd bait , my fav by far is the Almond Supreme, it has done prob 75% of my bites in the last 2/3 years.

I have found that certain waters have a reaction to one particular flavor , Especially when putting the liquid inside a Solid bag. If I changed the liquid the bites would dry up but as soon as changed back to the one particular flavour I got bites again.

If you are using them on popup's, make sure the pop up's are super buoyant otherwise you will be fishing with a wafter.

The main reason i starting to use Goo is from the korda under water DVD's ( got sold to the marketing I know ) but if the video's are true and not edited to much, you can see how much of a difference they can make at times.

If your fishing for pressured / clued up carp leave it at home it won't do you any favours!

That is not reflective of what I found mate.
