Troubleshooting
The hookbait is floating too high off the bottom.
Add a small piece of rig putty or a small split shot to the hooklink to counter the excess buoyancy.
The hookbait is sitting flat on the lake bed.
Use a lighter hook pattern or shorten the hair length to allow the wafter more freedom of movement.
Scent intensity seems to have faded.
Apply a small amount of the supplied booster liquid to the surface of the baits and allow it to soak in for 30 minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best presentation, use these wafters with a standard knotless knot or D-rig setup. Because these are 'wafters,' they are intended to sit just off the bottom while the weight of the hook keeps them anchored. Test your rig in the margins or a bait bucket to ensure the hook sinks while the bait hovers just above. Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the amino acids and volatile flavor compounds. Always ensure the lid is sealed tightly after use to prevent the bait from drying out or losing its potent scent profile.
