Soak in sal****er overnight, then boil in salt water until they go rubbery. About 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure you check each one before you cast out as some float, some balance and sone sink.

Supermarkets and high street healthfood places are probably your best bet.

Soak for 12-18 hours then bring to the boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

I use them as hookbaits straight out of the bag.

need a nut drill though but they are great baits.

Once soaked and cooked as stated below they are a fantastic bait and don't really need any additives. I have however in the past put in a tiny drop of Mainline SweetAid which probably appealed to me more than the carp but still caught really well on a difficult water.
Are you sure?
