Yeah, it was something that it noticed last weekend. I did crack one open and found that there was smell still in the bait, but compared to a rod with The Scent from Hell, the difference was night and day. I didn't crack open the Scent from Hell as it was as minging as it went out; can't remember if I dosed the Baitworks pop up with smell, like glug them months back.
It's one of those things, I mean like, some places where the fish are very nervous around highly pongy baits, they could easily spook, and a bait that doesn't waft loads can be a good thing, also, using corn in free offerings, the colour is bang on and can hide the hookbiat very well.
I don't know, maybe later on in the year a hookbait that doesn't scream "eat me" is the one, just that i'd rather a hookbait that does the opposite this time of the year.

the (in my opinion) four most potent carp attractors going are actually subtle as hell, alas, many others not lol

Completely agree, carp can find minute traces of food in parts per million of water so our nose is almost useless. But carp anglers want things to stink whereas I want things to be attractive after 24 hours but not repellant. Gary Bayes calls them carp scarers 😂😂😂
The trick here is powders and liquids, a combo of both that “smell” and “taste” is the best of both worlds for me.
Eaton mess is subtle, squid subtle, krill and cal also subtle but they have lots going inside them.
I also like the fact that you guys can cover them in whatever you want and they still work perfectly.
Rock hard pop ups with no ingress is not for me

I’ve said the same on the bait groups, to me “smells the same as when it went out “ isn’t a plus point!
See we do agree on things lol

im surprised by that but can i ask if you took the pop up off and cracked it in half to see what the inside smelt and tasted like? surely you want all of those nice things to be leaking out in the water column rather than locked inside. You will notice that all of our hookbaits are liquid hungry and they absorb anything you put on them.......... lake water will also be taken on to a degree. good news is that the catch reports on sting suggest the carp have no trouble finding them!
probably my favourite pop up of all time

Looks good....maybe something to try in the future..

I find the Sting smell lasts a night, after that...zero smell. Not seen how long the smell takes to leak out on an hour to hour basis; will check.

I won’t post all the pictures on here as it will take me hours but the last few weeks has seen a crazy amount of carp caught! We are already working at full speed like it’s summer so if I can’t reply straight away to the pms I apologise
I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! Super squid, sting, Eton mess and the three boilies are scoring well right now

Krill & Cal served me well spring last year throughout April/May odd one on Eton mess and Pineapple then stopped fishing there after spawning as the weed is top to bottom all over lake by then add in it is shallow and birdlife is off the chart captures become difficult throughout summer months for all, Sting (dark) and Herb hard hooker snowman have done me proud through the winter and one or two over the tricknut on a tricknut wafter hookbait, I haven't even tried the Red Legends or Squids yet still got full tins of them.
