FAQs
Are these nuggets safe for the environment?
Yes, they are fully biodegradable and designed to dissolve in water without harming fish or aquatic ecosystems.
Will these affect the buoyancy of my pop-up?
The nugget provides slight lift during the descent, but it will dissolve and disappear, leaving your rig presentation unaffected once it hits the bottom.
Can I use these with PVA bags?
They are typically used for single hookbait or stringer presentations, though they can be used inside or outside of PVA bags depending on your specific rig setup.
How long do they take to dissolve?
Dissolution time depends on water temperature and depth, but they generally clear the hook within 30 to 60 seconds.
What should I do if they get wet in the tub?
If they get wet, they will start to dissolve or clump together. Keep the lid sealed tightly after every use to maintain their integrity.
Troubleshooting
Nugget falling off mid-cast
Ensure the nugget is pinched firmly enough around the bend of the hook; using a slightly smaller hook or applying a tiny amount of moisture can help it grip better.
Nugget not dissolving quickly
In extremely cold water, the dissolution process takes longer. Give the rig extra time to settle before tightening up to the lead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the nuggets, simply moisten the nugget slightly and pinch it around the hook point and bend. Ensure it is secure enough to withstand the force of the cast but not so tight that it fails to release once submerged. These nuggets are compatible with all standard carp rigs, including blow-back rigs, stiff rigs, and PVA bag presentations. Always store the nuggets in a cool, dry place inside their original container; if exposed to moisture or high humidity during storage, they may begin to break down prematurely.
