Well pleased with the hookbaits thanks Mark, cant say what i actually had due to publicity rules but managed 5 fish in 2 nights on the garlics on a water where 15 fish a season is a right result....

Just ordered some S2 whites to try hopefully theyll be here by next weekend when i am next out...

Anyone know what the lead time is at the min? Orderd some hook baits last week and wondering how long till I get them? Doesn't seem to be easy to contact him.

Hi Dan, your order from last Thursday has gone this morning, should be there tomorrow, or Friday morning latest.

We are still getting all orders out within seven days currently.

Couple of questions on the Garlic crushed corks....

How long do you think the flavour is effective for?
Would you leave the same hook bait out for a week say?
Would you use the same hook bait over two sessions a week apart?

Be interested to see what people think....

I throw mine once they're reeled in but I'm happy to leave them out 48 hrs+ if appropriate.

I've reeled in after 48 hours-ish and the smell is still there, but obviously a bit washed out.
I don't doubt they'll catch if re-used, but I prefer to go fresh each time.

EDIT - must have missed that Yonny


Question for Mark then - just dry them off with kitchen roll & back in the tub?
Need to keep the rest dry right?

This won't go for my bottom baits either - no cork!

Thanks Yonny.

Main reason I ask is I've just got the rods out after a week in the rod bag.
Both baits still on and look slightly washed out but smell is there, just wondered how effective the probiotic ingredient still is....

I've used old ones on a runs water and had runs.

I still change them daily on my syndicate buts just down to confidence I'm sure they would be fine.

I usually crush the old ones up and bag them

Now I know I'm not a carp, but do the garlic baits that you guys have smell/taste of anything? I bought during the rush when they were first released but never had a fish or much confidence in them. They have a very faint smell of the S2 baits and if I pop one in my mouth, pretty much nothing. S2's on the other hand smell like caramel and taste very sweet.

Mine have a very subtle but "weird" smell, couldn't begin to compare it to anything and it certainly doesn't make me want to eat them! S2 on the other hand...
They (GPB) do seem to work though

I was thinking with all the talk of how revolting the smell from the fermented garlic hemp was they might kick up a bit too. Perfectly willing to accept that my nose may have no relation to what a carp senses, was just curious as to others experience.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
