Took the plunge and ordered a pot of GPB1 yesterday.
How are you fishing them, singles or alongside bottom baits?
Asking you specifically Wayne as I know we are using the same bait (SLK?) but also how's everyone else using them?

I had the rare Ghostie on first trip years ago off my syndicate using the GLMF over a bed of hemp, had plenty of fish using the S4 over the years but have noticed a difference with my recently purchased S4 compared to my originals colour is different and buoyancy is too as tried a S4 with a size 4 ronnie and wouldn't sit up so tried my last original one and straight up

A question about storage. When not on the bank does the GPB1 need to be kept in the fridge or are they ok in my usual place in my bag?

Ok in your bag mate no need for any special storage, I'd prob keep em out of direct sunlight for too long.

I've just had 4 fish on the garlic on a 2 day session. 20,22 then 30 common and 36 mirror. The two 30s came within 20mins of each other. If you add the fact that the lake is fishing super slow as they still haven't spawned. there was only the odd fish out around the whole lake which is 26 acres and was pretty rammed I'd say it's decent going.

I wasn't doing anything fancy, I'm no Darrell peck and the fish weren't just in my swim so personally think the bait gave me a bit of an edge

Top man Colors!

In your bag Cam, as Colors said. No need to fridge or freezer. Just avoid leaving the lid off of the tub in damp weather, or they will suck up moisture like a sponge.
