It's a boilie with a coating or a series of coatings, sticky do some and others never tried them but in theory sounds like good idea

Active? As in active enzymes, active 8 from mainline, garlic enzyme from abs ne ver knew hydra k was active.

Some baitshave an Active paste coating on them. Which I would of image is made up of various powders and liquid additives. You can do this yourself if you wanted with time. Seems to be very in vogue at the moment. These coating over time are meant to break down leaving extra around your baited spot.
And theres baits that have so called active ingredients in them yeast is one that over time work with other ingredients to produce a reaction in the bait which is supposedly meant to attract the Fish.

no enzyme activity in any of them.
Enzymes are short lived and fussy about the environment they live in. what you CAN do is use eyzyme treated products which generally out perform others.
Stickys "active" is reffering to it not being jut a static bait but the coating actively breaking down and bits floating about.

Wouldn't any soluble boillie be active as once it's in the lake it's absorbing water and starting to break down.?

Yes, but then most are designed to provide viable free offerings after 24 hours so not in the sense of how emzymes break things down. plus they dont tend to crumble down like groundbait.

Yes, correct. An enzyme bait will generally 'crevice'. A little like cracking a cream egg, and then splits open, ending up in two halves.
The Sticky stuff is literally no more than layers of liquid and powder dried out.
And the Mainline ones certainly do not react like this.
And just a point on all these 'enzyme liquids' that are marketed... The enzymes are used to break down the initial product... The resultant solution is then heated to deactivate the enzymes, and a stabiliser, often Citric Acid, then used to preserve that final product and create an acidic environment that the enzymes, if any have survived the heating process, cannot function in. So, they're not really an active product any longer... It's just marketing spin.
There are a couple of exceptions... CSL... Which is not a hydro. Plus 'unique off spec' products, such as the UCN one which still had a level of activity in it....hence why the bottles exploded when opened... Though that may actually have been more of a fermentation reaction I suspect.
