I am looking to get some pink himalayan rock salt. Are the horse licks any good to break up and use or is there something better to use? Many thanks.

Can do that. Or buy the sacks of crushed up stuff. Normally various different sizes you can get.
I looked at the horse salt blocks. It didn't work out any cheaper than ordering a 20kg sack of crushed stuff.

Small holders/farm supply shops normally sell it. Where about are you from?

I ordered mine from a garden centre of all places. AA baits do it and it's about the same price I paid.
Google is your friend though. Have a look about for the best prices.

I get mine from purehimalayansaltstore on eBay and it has always been very good quality. I buy the large rocks and then hammer them to the size I need.

If you can drop a horse lick into a margin unseen you will be on a fish gold mine, give it a week and regular small handfulls of chosen bait alongside you will catch.

Did it in the 80s early 90s on a small water, worked a treat. Lasted months but it did get taken out if i wasn't fishing for a good while. A big one on a rope.

After watching a vid on YouTube with Mark from Baitworks it's got me wondering on how effective is it really as an attractor?
I've been using it regularly & I'm not so sure if it makes any difference. I think it's more of a confidence boost than anything else.
Has anyone noticed a significant difference with their catch rates?

I really dont rate it... never paid off using it but others swear by it.

I get coconut sized horse licks from the local farm shop, put them in a hessian sack and drive over them a few times in the van to crush them up.
