Great post. I completely agree. So what is it about this Garlic, spice honey combination? Synergy? Allicin? Higher receptor for certain ingredients?

I would hazard a guess that this above may be met with as much venom from some too? I double dare you. lol

Are we ok to mention bait companies? I guess it is a busy market out there. Gone are the days when it was only half a dozen bait companies to choose from. Every man and his dog seems to be producing something bait related.

They are only a small company, a one man band actually, so i guess his marketing is very low/small scale and targeted. I do follow on Face ache and Instagram. Caught some real big fish from Gigantica, loads from Wraysbury, Wingham etc.

Hi guys I hope that you are all well. Black spot Hookbaits seem to be getting a lot of very good press and are catching some really good fish home and abroad. Carl Pettit is the owner/ designer of these baits is a very competant angler and really knows his stuff. Has anyone had success with his bottom baits or pop ups since their release and are willing to share your results, views on these? Have a great weekend.

Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Hi Quote Any ingredient in a boilie is denatured, or liquids evaporate as they are boiled, less so if they are steamed. That is really interesting when you consider the hottest byproduct of boiling water is steam itself...If added to boiling water it will take longer for that to come back to steam temps and also far longer to reach the centre of say an 18mm boilie where it rarely gets higher than 60 degrees up to a 2 minute boil. Less so if steamed? However, i do like to learn. Feel free to explain.

Hi Paul Been looking in for some time now and have struggled to register for some reason? However, here I am. I hope this place offers you a good place for discussion and where opinions and alternative views are welcomed. Reading through a large number of previous threads, I think you are going to be ok.
