How do you choose the clear version over the brown booster? Or do they just send whatever..

I've only ever had the clear sent. Used them for years and never seen any brown booster.
I agree when ever I've ordered the booster I've only been sent the clear one, I've never even seen the brown one

I have a couple bottles on the shelf, one orange lid, one blue lid, this was before I knew better. Baitworks is just up the road so I can just go in and buy.

My order arrived yesterday with a small bottle of transparent booster liquid. The smell is putrid before opening the tub
Not looking forward to touching these
Might have to consider a smell proof bag or container.

I've kept my bottle of hell booster. Even though I never had a single run on either the hell or the heaven. I've kept it simply to squirt through the letterbox of the next customer who bounces me for payment.

I used this for the first time yesterday - I've never smelt a bait remotely like it. I like Baitworks and what Mark Bryant does, so thought of giving them a go. When I opened them the smell was so intense, and in my limited knowledge I pretty much assumed it would be too much to a fish, and maybe more of a cold water bait. And like some of the replies in the thread, it felt quite chemical in smell.
There weren't many bites recently on the lake I am fishing, and I had nothing for two days and a night, then moved swim and within 20 minutes had a lovely fish out.
Yes it might well have been the change of swim - I'll never really know.
However, the fish in the lake are very wiley they worked.
It was interesting reading a fair few of the comments below this morning, as there seems a very divided opinion on this bait - fair enough.
It has done a positive thing for my confidence and I will continue to explore this bait.

Hi - I have used the scent from hell pop ups since they came out.. Use with total confidence mate. The most effective popups I have used. They did go through a spell where the buoyancy wasn't great but now absolutely fine. And yes they absolutely reek and best not kept in the house. I keep mine in a sealed glass jar which seems to be the best way

I honestly wish that they were less effective
I've probably tried most of the better smelling, more expensive hookbaits available and *for me* the Scent From Hells have always consistently out-fished anything else used side by side.
I used to plug them with cork, but they have improved the recipe and no need anymore.
They stink though, and it's a smell that normal people will not tolerate in the car!

Thank you for the replies, great feedback on this bait that I am looking forward to exploring more.
Glass jar - I hope that works as my mrs just complained about the smell of the car and there has been nothing in it since yesterday!
I used it as a single, no feed. Any tips on feed with this if I want to put free offerings in at some point? There is no SFH fresh boilie's - there is Royal Marine which has SFH at a low level.
And I am not bothered about the booster bottles, they smell enough already!
