Jesus, after reading this thread a few days ago I started listening to it on my way to work.... the first 10 min I was like.... what is everyone talking about with him keep saying "Sick"? then all of a sudden he catches one and from then on EVERYTHING is sick this, sick that, this is sick, that is sick every fish is sick.... I almost called him a bloody doctor! great listening but the sick thing really was bugging the **** out of me!

You should be fine glugging them without drying but I would advise keeping them in the fridge, likely the chili sauce should be refrigerated. alternatively you could get some hemp oil and infuse it with chili, that would last a lot longer without the need to refrigerate and is great during the winter months.

There are many different interpretations on what an HNV bait really is and there is no "written standard" that is regulated in order to call a bait "HNV" but an HNV bait should provide the fish with a lot of usable nutrition that is bioavailable, but in general, from many fish scientists and researchers over the years it is widely known and is generally used as a guideline that an optimal HNV bait should be something in line with the following:

35% Digestible protein content
50% Useable carbohydrates
The remaining 15% should be made up of a good mix of fat, oils vitamins and minerals (recommended oil content for carp is 7%).
The finished bait should be easily digestible

This is based on a carps dietary requirements during optimal temperatures (15-25c)

A carps requirements are different in the winter but will still feed on "optimal temperature baits" as above but will fill up quickly as it will take a long time to process them (can take up to 2 weeks), whereas a winter bait can be made up for the colder conditions.. Weather you class these winter baits as HNV is a personal choice as they offer a bait that is optimal to their needs in the cold months. A winter bait used regularly in water temperatures below 11degrees Celsius, need only be 5-10% protein and the rest almost pure carbohydrate. Ideally, there must be some easily digested oil content in the bait recipe. 4-5% oil (fresh soya oil is optimal as opposed to fish oil) is about the maximum required in any cold water bait.

But I'm sure you already know this @Sealine

He really could have just done it in a car

From what I saw some of the spots were totally inaccessible by car and he would likely have had to carry/push his gear for miles in order to get to the spots and do a hell of a lot of walking just to check out if there is access to the water, which a lot of the time there wasn't.

From what I have seen and read about their baits they are of decent make up and are HNV, they seem to catch as well as any of the other "top rated" boilies. I have heard good things about their Multiworm as its something a little different as its made up of dried worms and no artificial flavouring so it can really give an edge over all the "going baits" on most lakes.

I guess if he finds it comfortable for him then why wouldn't he keep doing it that way, whos to judge how any of us hold our rod? oh er Mrs! At the end of the day it isn't affecting his catch rate

good point...

Decent enough viewing but will someone teach him how to hold a fishing rod.

Its likely that he isn't holding it "properly" because those rods are only 6ft and likely have a VERY different action to a standard 12ft rod, can you imagine trying to play a 60lb carp on a 6ft rod and not holding it differently to a normal rod?
