FAQs

Are these wafters suitable for PVA bags?

Yes, their neutral buoyancy and compact dumbbell shape make them an excellent choice for solid PVA bag presentations.

Do I need to drill these baits?

No, they are designed to be needle-friendly, allowing you to use a standard baiting needle directly.

What is the best hook size to use with these?

Generally, size 4 to size 8 hooks provide the best balance, but it is recommended to test the setup in water first.

Can I use these in cold water?

Garlic infusion is a versatile attractor that can be effective year-round, though you may need to adjust your feeding strategy in colder temperatures.

Should I add extra liquid attractant to these?

They come pre-infused, but adding a small amount of matching liquid bait soak can be beneficial during sessions in winter or when targeting large carp.

Troubleshooting

The hookbait is floating too high off the bottom

Add a small amount of tungsten putty to the hook link or use a slightly larger hook to counterbalance the buoyancy.

Bait splits when using a baiting needle

Ensure you are using a sharp, high-quality baiting needle and avoid forcing it through; push through slowly using a twisting motion.

Presentation sinks flat too quickly

Try using a smaller, lighter hook or remove any excess metal components from the rig.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Mimics the exact profile of standard Garlic Infusion boilies
  • Easy to use with standard baiting needles
  • Excellent movement on the lake floor to fool wary fish
  • Ideal size for a variety of rig setups

Cons

  • Requires manual testing to ensure optimal hook-to-wafter balance
  • May require different hook sizes to achieve the desired presentation
  • Specific flavor profile might not suit all seasonal fishing conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, use these wafters with hooks that allow for a consistent movement—typically ranging from size 4 to size 8 depending on the gap and weight. To maintain the integrity of the attractants, store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every session to prevent the bait from drying out or losing its potent garlic infusion scent. If you find the bait is too buoyant, a small piece of tungsten putty or a dedicated counter-weight on the hook shank will help pin the presentation firmly to the bottom.
