This is more a question regarding hook bait enhancements.
I bought some corker range wafters s7 and I'm thinking to add something to them.
I've seen the Korda Goo stuff and other additives, but what could work well? Would it be prudent to put the s7 liquid in them? Although I don't have any of the liquid. My logical side says surely that would be the right thing to put in the tub and let soak in. So if I was to put something else in, like some Goo, would that have an adverse effect and take away from the s7 smell/taste?
Interested to hear what you think about soaking, in my case, some wafters. Never pre-soaked any hook baits so looking for some advice/guidance please?
TIA

I pretty much glug all my Fluro hookbaits. I tend to use the matching flavours. I spent an age with the goo and some b5 pop ups I had, drizzling it on and letting it soak right through the baits. They smelt and looked great, only problem is they never actually caught me anymore than the std pop ups. So I've ditched goo now and use matching liquids instead.
The exception to that would be cork balls/ cork dust. I'd only ever put the tiniest extra glug on them as I'd be worried that once they take on water they won't pop up as well if they are loaded up with flavour.

No experience of goo on them so can't comment on that but what I can say is you want go far wrong with the dna s7 evo liquid. I use it to boost all my s7 hookbaits (evo, wafters and pop ups) and I really feel it makes a difference and as long as you a are sensible with it, it doesn't affect buoyancy. It's also cheap as chips and a small bottle lasts ages.

That's great Deano, Thanks.
When you say sensible, what's sensible and insensible? About 5/10 ml liquid? I'm guessing on wafters it doesn't make too much difference as they are weightless.

Just a glaze so all baits are covered. Will be fine as long as they are not swimming in it

DNA do bottles of matching intense booster specifically designed for pop ups etc. Its really thin so will not affect buoyancy too much.

I have tried boosting the wafters with S7 liquid food, S7 spod liquid and with the evo booster - made no difference at all. In fact the baits that were not 'enhanced', worked better. Adding s7 pellets via pva mesh is a good move though!

Imo you've got a superb bait in the S7 that just oozes attraction , put a couple of freebies in a glass of water overnight you'll be surprised .
If there's that much attraction from the freebies and you're fishing matching S7 wafters I wouldn't enhance them personally, they have enhanced amino attractants in them already , in my opinion you'd be overdoing it if fishing over a bed of bait , last thing I'd use is goo which is basically pipe leak detection fluid

Thanks for that. Interesting to hear that the boosting didn't make much difference. I've got the pellets so will give them a try along with the paste wrapped around the wafter. Although that might be counter intuitive as it'll just add weight to the wafter.
I always wonder how big a difference it makes or whether the smell or visual attraction really has that much of an impact. Been watching some underwater videos of carp behaviour and I can't help think that using extra attractors are just a fad and sales gimmick. Bit like protein shakes for the fitness industry.
Any thoughts or opinions on this?

Yes , it's a load of bollox
, if you do a bit of research on carp chemoreceptors and gustatory system you can then make your own mind up , I personally believe a good hydroslate or liquid food is the best attractor for a bait bar none

Awesome! Thanks for this. A new rabbit hole to explore now

What do you consider is an extra attractor? Surely all of the ingredients of the bait, with the exception of the out and out binders are there because they are attractive to carp. I'd rather have a bait that contains gim betaine spices amino acids etc than not. Otherwise you might as well just use potatoes.

It's become a DNA 'thing' as far as I can tell, probably to sell the liquids, nearly every post on their Faceache page is either a picture of someone's delivery
which is just sad but mostly questions from punters about how to prep the bait with their liquids
I'll tell you how to prep it, take it out of the bag (pre-soak in water/chopping up etc optional) then chuck it in the lake

The bait is that good, it needs a glug to make it better..... Load of nonsense and hype to make you buy more bits you don't actually need....
