Hi mate, I think there are several options that are strong and there is something you can do to help repel it further.
Tutti, sting, pineapple, and deep c are pokey
Two dressings of the matching booster liquids over a two week period, that will be a strong old mix!
I often take the hookbaits off my rigs after 24 hours (if they haven’t produced anything 😂 crack them in half and do a sniff test! Because they are made with nice powders and liquids in the pop up basemix, they always smell nice in the core!
One other thing
Goo……..some of them are really strong and will do the same thing. I am very nervous about very strong overpowering hookbaits at this stage of the season and I’m very aware that no matter what we smell, the carp can sense your hookbaits even among the horrible lake bed!!
Loading up pop ups with liquids is the best way to stop them taking on foul lake water.
Two coats and then dry them out.

Hi Gav, What pop-up from your range would you recommend for silt, eg less likely to get tainted by the smell of the silt?

It’s funny how the catch reports follow certain trends but the sting is popular (Herb is constantly popular 😂
I had a message on Friday from one of the biggest names in angling saying that he uses or tips every hookbait with sting and he has having it off big style! I’m having good results on the deep c at the moment and the only bite this weekend was on the deep c pop up…….the bugger fell off 😂

Had 4 sessions in the last month or so. Each one I’ve had a minimum of 4 fish all on sting wafters fished over Herb. Last week I had 7 upto high 20s in 24hrs, Bloke next to me didn’t have a thing in two days

Glad you like them mate
Next week we are going to make a ridiculous amount of bait to see if we can catch up a bit! Some lovely fish coming out around the U.K., hopefully many have now spawned and will be in need of some decent food. Even I may wet a line this weekend 😉

Hi mate
I’m afraid we can’t really run deals on boilies. I put too much into and not huge profit margins. I had an email today asking for more discount on 200k of herb, same answer really, I just won’t make anything so it will be a pointless exercise making it.
You will love the herb, it’s becoming one of those baits that carp and anglers are loving right now!
