Hi, any recommends on a dip/glug/soak that would harden off my atlantic heat hookbaits, found them a bit soft after a couple of hours which is fine for my freebies but would like the hookbait to last longer, cheers for any advice

The matching Hard hookers they do are spot on......
Or you could boil some for a minute......

I imagine so, most glugs do but AH is a soft bait by nature so unsure if it will.......boiling a few for a minute hardens them further though.......
Or you could Salt cure if you want bullets......

I coated mine in the hot fish oil and the bait soak/glug and they did go harder

Storing a few baits in rock salt with harden them nicely over time

Defrost a few for a couple of hours then boil for 5 minutes, allow to dry for a few hours then glug them.
This method seems to work with most boilies but not all, so check one or two in a bucket to test, but I usually it will give you hard hookbaits but they are best kept in the freezer although if the glug is glycerine based they should last at least a couple of weeks without freezing.

Appreciate your replys

I find their baits too soft as well, thus use their boosted hardener hook baits. That said, not had many on their baits, but more on random hook baits over their bait

AH is soft but I love that fact and know the bait is working......
Glycerine.
Honestly, just buy yourself a tub of hard hookers. It saves all the faffing around and they really do what they say on the tin
