It's more commonly used in ground baits as a investigation sight trigger. It does give off colour as it breaks down though. Strangely the only people you see using it are sponsored by Sonubaits, so it's probably a must have that you never knew you needed. 😊

Totally agree, I used DFDS for the first time in October. Will not be using P&O ever again.

I heard on a podcast the other day that carp have bad eyesight (he was justifying the use of a flavour) and the host did not disagree. If that's the case the carp in my lake must have gone to Specsavers.

I use it a lot, it fact it is my go to bottom bait rig. I tie it in 12lb Supplex, I have tied it 15lb fluro but I thought the hair kicked off too far due to the stiffness of my fluro. I always use a mesh bag as well.

I bought a stock of fast melt mesh, not knowing you could get slow melt. As I regularly fish depths between 25 & 35ft I am of the opinion that the bag is opening before it hits bottom. Am I right in thinking that if I dip the bag in oil before casting, it will slow the break down?

Common baits in German is still selling Kryston Merlin. Not sure what the postage would be.

I use similar to post #2 and use a free app “Frame Grab” to scroll through the video and copy the best frame.

I use an inline/barbless by choice and never have any problems. The line clip gives them a little jolt as well.
Are you sure?
