Long story short... the current bait I use is too soft (for good reason) to use in a throwing stick. If I air dry it I loose the weight to get the range I need. Spodding is out the question and i do catapult when I am fishing close enough that's its a option.

Can anyone recommend a bait/ bait supplier that make a 15 & 18mm bait that is good in throwing sticks.

I use baitworks with no issues

I also use Baitworks and using a stick is my preferred baiting method and I have no issues

Can you ask the maker to harden some up for you ?

I too use a throwing stick for baiting up at range. I've used Baitworks Creamino in them and they split. I think their Atlantic Heat are a bit firmer so should be OK.

The best for me are Poachers Tiger Nut & Maple and Fruit Frenzy. Nice firm baits, freezer only, sizes are even numbers so no 15mm.

I do use Atlantic Heat, not tried Creamino via a stick

They're a tad on the soft side. That said, you can stick em out, but you have to keep your stick wet and you'll still get some that split. I don't have any probs with the Poachers ones.

Trent shrimp.. you'll hit the moon with the 18s

Also might help to wet the boilies down , works similar to dampening the inside of the stick down

Could you not just air dry them?
