Product Information
Full details
Designed specifically for dedicated catfish anglers targeting trophy-sized specimens in both river and still-water environments, these 30mm sinking hook baits offer a high-potency solution for long-duration sessions. Featuring a pungent Belachan infusion, they act as a powerful attractant that draws fish from a distance, though their specialized size and breakdown rate are optimized for larger species rather than general coarse angling.

FAQs
Can these be used for carp fishing?
While technically possible, the 30mm size is specifically engineered for catfish; it is generally too large for standard carp, which typically prefer 15-20mm sizes.
Are these baits pre-drilled?
No, they are solid baits. They are firm enough to be drilled or pierced with a baiting needle.
How long will they stay on the hair?
The slow breakdown rate is designed for extended sessions, typically lasting many hours depending on water temperature and the presence of smaller fish.
Does the Belachan flavor require extra dipping?
The baits are pre-infused with a powerful flavor, so additional dipping is generally unnecessary but can be done if you prefer an even stronger scent trail.
Are these suitable for rivers?
Yes, their sinking density and slow breakdown rate make them excellent for river fishing where currents can wear down softer baits.
Troubleshooting
Bait sliding off the hair rig during casting
Ensure you are using a large enough bait stop or a double-stop configuration to prevent the 30mm bait from pulling through the loop.
Bait feels too hard to pierce with a standard needle
Use a heavy-duty, stainless steel baiting needle designed for hardened or extra-large boilies.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These baits are designed to work with most heavy-duty carp-style rigs. Ensure you use a hook size appropriate for 30mm baits, typically size 2 or larger, to maintain the correct hook-to-bait ratio.
To ensure freshness, keep the resealable packaging tightly closed when not in use to prevent the aroma from dissipating. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because of the strong scent, it is recommended to store the container inside an additional sealed bag or tackle box compartment to prevent the smell from permeating your other fishing equipment.
