The boilies are fantastic, I've always been a fan of the freezer bait, but needs air drying properly, as it's quite soft. The pop ups were also good, now a load of rubbish.

Thats the gist im getting now, I started the thread and really wanted to know about their boillies and no intention of using their popups. I have decided to go with Royal Marine and use another companies pop ups etc

Don't forget their pellets. Great IMO. As are their shelf life baits. The only product i didn't like was their cork dust wafters and popups. Flouros etc are ace

To be fair Baitworks do “winterise” thier boilies too during the colder months, they just don't advertise it or alter the price.
Make of that what you will!

Winterise eh... i wonder what this really means.
Would it just be the freezer baits.

A change of oil source and amount.
Nope shelf life's too. Pretty sure pellet as well but not 100% sure on that one.

How long do you air dry them for? How do you look after them after that time? Cheers

I think they're best out the freezer and left in the shade for 24hrs. I don't do anything else with them. I'm not a fan of lots of glugs etc.

If it's been 1 day/night then yes, if longer, I keep a big bag in the freezer for pre baiting.

Agreed, not a fan of pimping freebies.
I've used Alantic Heat for a good few years and rate it highly, I actually like the hard balanced baits, they arrive quite dry and not very appealing, however add a bit of Cstim and Scent from hell and a few weeks later the hook baits are ready to rock.
Agree on pop-ups they arent very buoyant, however I think the attractors are superb and I've caught a lot of fish on them. I drill them out and add a a bit of cork, jobs a Goodun.

Switched to baitworks this season (Atlantic Heat). Been more than happy so far. Bait has always been good quality, I usually get shelf life as it's easier for me to use/store etc.
Quite like the Hot Fish Oil and C Stim. Are they a ground breaking new product - not really. Elsewhere does a spicy oil and the C Stim reminds me of the old Mainline CSL.
Not tried the pop ups but have the wafters, seem fine to me.
Every pop up/wafter I've ever tried is different quality wise to the bottom baits - Sticky, CC Moore...no different. I give them a dose of the oil a few days before a session - the hookbait for me is about releasing attraction vs a providing a delicious snack.
Results wise - as good as anyone else on the lake I'm fishing.
Just about to order more

my experience with the wafters; I like to have the hook on the deck, a longish supple hair, KD style and the wafter floating above it. I set this up and tested it in my kitchen sink at home....perfect, bang on!! Went for a short day session with said rig, six hours later I wound it in and dropped it in the margin to check still ok; wafter was no longer buoyant and was sitting on the deck, next to the hook. Not the presentation I was after and disappointing after only six hours (or even less, depending on when it gave up the ghost before I reeled in!).I like the Atlantic heat itself however I just buy the base mix and roll myself so cannot comment on the rolled baits...I do like that it does not require eggs and can be mixed with water (or other liquids/ingredients more to the point!) I am confident in the bait but have had to make alternative arrangements for hook baits (work in progress)
