Anyone got first hand experience of them? Frank obviously has a good reputation and was one of the pioneers of hi-viz pop ups. Worth a punt?
I think Frank wouldn't want to turn anyone over knowingly, buy with confidence I'd say.

Any feedback about the Warwick wafters and pop-ups?

I didn't buy any but still tempted to give them a try. Would also appreciate feedback if others have used them.

I've got the hot squid coming in soon...
I will update after some use. Not fishing a lot so it will take time to experience the quality of the bait

Frank Warwick knows his hi attract hookbaits, if he's putting his name to them they're more than likely as good as any out there

To be fair, I'm not overly impressed so far.
I bought some hot squid wafters and tested them in a glass of water. The wafting properties are excellent, still perfectly balanced after 24 hours with no loss of buoyancy.
However, I was expecting some leakage of attractors. After 24 hours the water was still completely clear, hardly any noticeable smell or taste, suggesting very little soluble content coming out of the bait.
As a balanced hookbait they seem fine, but in terms of leakage and attraction they didn't perform as I'd hoped.
I will start 'curing' these wafters to add some attraction to them

Can't say i have brought any as i make my own but Frank has gished a lot with hi viz singles for a lot of years and caught stacks of fish so i'd be suprised if they were not up to scratch.

Why are you attributing human senses to Carp? You're expecting/are conditioned to see something, but it may not be visible? Sight and smell ? Humans are relatively senseless compared to Carp in their environment.
My impression of FW over the years re attraction, his approach has always been ph/minerals, both of which can't be tested by humans sight or smell easily, though maybe his flavour choice could be.
You could be making your baits more identifiable as a danger signal by changing them?
