Hi Finch...I also use the EXACT BAITS but As B.C says i let a hand full of each harden up for hook baits and the rest i lightly soak in corresponding liquid...Nash Coconut in the Rod Hutch Coconut Creme and the Nash Candy Nut in Manilla Liquid...as also stated about digestion and on another thread ive asked about chick peas compared to tiger nuts...
