Just wondering if people have been having success on the RG Baits Sugar plum wafters and popups? I am just wondering how effective they would be in winter - I'm assuming they have been tested through winter before they were released?

Why not ask RG baits?

Because they’ll tell you they catch every time you cast them out.
Guy probably wants real reviews instead of what the people selling them will say.

Well if I thought my bait supplier couldn't be trusted, I'd be buying my bait elsewhere. Try having a conversation with Geoff Bowers, he certainly doesn't deal with bullshine.

I don’t see how either of your thoughts have any useful relevance to the initial question, they’re just trying to point score against Greekskii

Take a step back and think about the situation. You ring RG and ask if a bait is any good for winter (especially when it’s a bait flavour which to my mind is suitable for winter). What are they going to say? “No mate, you should get in the Sticky Manilla or the DNA Bug”
Of course they’ll tell you it’s a decent bait. They would be retarded to do anything other than that.

It may be that they could suggest a different bait from their range, but back to Greekskii’s point, I would personally find opinions and results from a variety of users far more useful than asking the salesman.

Not trying to offend, but sometimes it’s better to say nothing than try cock swinging (and failing) to try and justify a previous post.

I've used RG baits and they are good quality. I would trust them not to produce a bait that wasn't up to snuff. I know Bill Cottam used them, he wouldn't use an inferior bait

It seems you have misunderstood my post. I have a very small cock. So how swinging it would in any way be beneficial is beyond my comprehension. Maybe I'm naive, and prone to advertising pressure. That's a fair criticism which I'm open to. However given my experience I would disagree. I bow to your greater experience, and am humbled by your superior knowledge.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
