Been using floss and blobbing it for many years. Never lost a bait, you must be doing it wrong or using soft bait that break down easily.

I stopped using floss to tie baits on, either by wrapping it around the bait. making loops and stops or blobbing it as I often found my bait missing.
When I did some experimentation, I found that after a while, the bait will swell and the knot will be forced to slip and eventully the knot becomes undone, as for blobbing, the bait swells and the "blob" gets pulled into the bait and usually stays on untill you wind in and then the floss pulls out of the bait.
I find bait screws far more secure or if you do tie your bait on, use marker elastic or hair bands which you can buy in various colours to match your bait. Using "elastic" it stretches as your bait swells.

Not on your own i don't like trust the blob. I tie a bait stop on and then blob that.

If you don't receive quickly, they just refund you. I've buy bits from temu but you have to spend to much to get the free delivery. Ali express, look for choice items and you only need £8 worth for free delivery. Or look for bundles and you only need 3 items for free delivery.
Ordered loads from them., yes a few items no good bit most, worth it.

I bought those too, but from Korda. Will look on AliExpress, good tip that. Never thought about that while I constantly buy from there.

Why not use some arma mesh or something and you can then floss through that and blob/tie it off?
Better still, use tigers and instead of floss use heavy duty coated braid. That’ll last longer than any boilie on a canal

I tried that indeed, but I fish a canal with cray fish and crabs and small fish, so I need something that is durable and secure. But thanks for your input!

Tie the floss around the bait and not through it?
Even try using a boilie stop?
