Product Information

Full details

The Korda Fake Food Slow Sinking Dumbells in Fruity Squid are designed for carp anglers seeking a highly durable, long-lasting hook bait that mimics the appearance and scent of natural food sources. These baits are ideal for anglers using solid PVA bags or those looking for a reliable, reusable presentation, though users should be aware that their slow-sinking nature requires careful balancing if using extremely lightweight rigs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these baits reusable?

Yes, they are made of durable plastic and can be retrieved and reused across multiple sessions.

Can I use these for bottom bait rigs?

Absolutely. Their slow-sinking action is specifically designed for natural-looking bottom presentations.

How do these compare to regular hook baits?

These do not break down in water like conventional boilies, making them superior for long-duration fishing.

Will crayfish try to eat these?

While they might attempt to investigate, the durable plastic construction makes it nearly impossible for crayfish to consume or damage the bait.

Do I need special bait stops?

No, standard hair-rigging stops or stops compatible with your hair length are perfectly sufficient.

Is the Fruity Squid scent permanent?

The scent is moulded into the plastic, offering a very long-lasting profile, though you can re-boost it with liquid dips if desired.

Troubleshooting

Bait floating too high

Add a small piece of rig putty to the hook link to counteract any buoyancy and pin the bait to the bottom.

Hook bait not attracting fish

Consider boosting the scent by soaking the plastic bait in a matching liquid attractor or dip prior to casting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Long-lasting flavour profile due to embedded attractors
  • Highly durable material resistant to small fish interference
  • Slow-sinking design prevents the bait from burying into soft silt
  • Ideal camouflage for use with pellet-based baiting strategies

Cons

  • Requires manual addition of bait if high-attract release is needed instantly
  • Slow-sinking nature may require rig weight adjustment
  • Not a biodegradable option

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, these dumbbells should be hair-rigged using standard bait needles. Because they are non-buoyant, they function best as 'critically balanced' baits when paired with the right hook size. To maintain their effectiveness, keep the baits stored in their original packaging to avoid cross-contamination of scents. After a long session in the water, rinse them with clean lake water and allow them to air dry before returning them to your tackle box to keep them fresh for your next outing.
