oh o mate. your gonna get told off when one of the almighty powerful mods see that you aint searched for "what hook" threads. grab your tin hat and run for cover.

worked

thankyou mate. to be honest with you even though i have seen them in action and they do produce good action and i have caught on them i still smile and scracth my head when i have chucked one out with a small mesh bag of pellets as its mad that they work. give them a go one day on one of your rods. i did this on a runs water and it out fished the pineapple boilie i use on runs waters. i used this to gain a little confidance in the gear before i chucked them out on my cray infested target water.

no mate i said....................... taken from here........... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid but never once have i said plastic baits had an amino profile mate. that was posted as food for thought. they may have as bio-degradable plastic has no give time scale in this instance. but would human contact with these baits leave an amino trace/signature behind? also food for thought. but what i did say was.......................... plastics do have an acidic ph profile and unless the water has the exact ph level as the plastic(un-likely i would of thought) in the water there will be a noticeable change to the surrounding area/water that a carp will sense. and these bright baits are very visable by carp. i fished a water with a huge cray problem and yearly i would say probably 70% of the carp were caught on plastic/fake baits.

from what i've learnt plastics have an acidic ph profile. so it can hardly be inert to a carp. i have also read that bio-degradable plastics has a definate amino acid signature, however no time scale is given for this. and carp do also sight feed alot and that bright piece of corn will attract there attention.

yes.

why wont it work these fake baits change the ph of the water around the "bait" as any bait does and the carp investigate. fished as a single is hard to get our heads around but the fact that it changes the ph of the surrounding water will get a reaction outta the carp.
