Question, are the ones being distributed by Jag the same as the ones he sells directly through his website and if so which?

On his website he has two flavours and two colours and the jag ones seem all the same flavour but more colours.

Lastly anyone using them to any degree of success? What are they like in terms of buoyancy and toughness?

They are MEGA bouyant pop ups, they are hard and take a lot of pinning down, big lump of putty required on a Ronnie or Naked Chod. Wafters waft really well then go over after about 24 hours, (did a tank test) pop up was still floating after a week.

Owing to the pop-ups hardness don't pierce them with a baiting needle as a chunk will chip off. Bait screws are best IMO, tying is OK but you have a very thin skin on them so make sure the floss is super tight.

They are strong smelling, quite an acidic smell, bit of a nouvelle fizz thing about them. I've done OK on them, expecting them to really come into their own as the water temps cool...

These are the baits that change colour in the water, how quick does it happen?

Within a couple of minutes the dull coating is off and the colour exposed....they aren't bright, in your face colours though for a change, nice and subtle.

Agree, there is defo a bit of autumn harvest/nouvelle fizz about them.

And I agree they're great hook baits too.

I smell a lot of mulberry in them, maybe a touch of the later autumn harvest ,fizz, to me not the original fizz or harvest.

I thought it was the other way round? Start out, Pink, Yellow etc and slowly turn a light Brown colour, am i wrong then?

What were they like after a week mate? I'm looking for a bait that will last for extended time in the water 48 hrs +, you think these would fall into that category?
Are you sure?
