So I currently use hydra k from ABS. My new syndicate feed the lake with sticky's krill and I'd say 90% of the lads on there also use sticky's krill. Question is would you stick with hydra k or swap over to sticky? I'm in two minds as to whether because the fish see that much of the sticky they will see it as a natural food source or would using the hydra k be an edge with it still being krill but different in its make up?

Could go either way really, why not try 50/50 mix?

Stick with the bait personally. If you've got confidence in it already it will be one less thing to worry about.

Stick with the Hydra K but have some Sticky baits in reserve should it not go as planned.

Sticky Krill is, ingredients wise a superior bait.

Would using a different bait if fish are preoccupied on one be an edge? possibly.

My recommendation would be to try both, and maybe on the third rod try something completely different such as tigers, maize, peperami etc.


If the fish are hard wired to one bait though, and the alternatives dont work, just jump on the band wagon and fish better for better results.

The amount of consistent superior match anglers winning on fishery pellets tells us even with a dominant bait approach can put you ahead

Curious to know, how can you state that Sticky Krill has superior ingredients over Active Bait Solutions bait?

I'd be interested to know that as well as I have always been told hydra k has the better quality ingredients

Mozzi seams to know the ins and outs and the day to day running of all bait companies. Have faith in Hydra k. But also have a back up as a plan b. All about confidence. Hope you get the results

Not sure I'd agree with that statement . Hydra k is an active bait , sticky krill is not . Both awesome baits though

Hydra k is an active bait , sticky krill is not... is Krill active not the same as HK active ?

Especially when they all use the same bunch of suppliers for ingredients too.

Reminds me of two years ago when a certain shrimp hydro arrived on the market and a month later 20 different companies started selling it claiming they “found” it and it's more special than the next one, in reality it all came from the same place and could bought without the inflated prices from bait companies.

I dont believe the fishery actually feed sticky krill - why would you? So many better nutritional baits and so many decent ones so much cheaper.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
