No mate that's not necessary at all unless you have birdlife pecking away at them (which will ruin any corkball pop up). As long as they're left alone they'll easily last more than 48 hrs. 14 hours ago, Pete Springate's Guns said: Thats the advice I had for the S1s to preserve the fine coating for longer but Im not sure about the S2s which have a different finish. Spot on, the S1's work on a different concept. You really want that coating active/fizzing up so imo you're better off not wrapping them. They say if you wrap in tights the coating will last for 48 hrs but personally I'd just recast every 12 hours to keep that hookbait as active as possible. For 48 hrs + I'd just use the S2's. commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they're left alone they'll easily last more than 48 hrs. I showed my friend your comment yonny. He's been using them for the last 5 years (kept that quiet or I wasn't listening, probably the latter, 😂) he had problems with the s2 splitting on the hair, hence using the stocking. Do you hair rig or lassoo?? We're there those issues a while ago, he's got a few different baits & glug, etc. from them. Maybe the current recipe is a bit more robust do you think? yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pierce them buddy. I've been using them for 3 or 4 years and never had an issue. As long as you use a fine baiting needle and take your time you'll be ok. You now have the crushed cork hookbaits available. I actually prefer them because they're as buoyant as a cork ball, they can be trimmed, you don't have to worry about birdlife, there's more basemix to hold the liquid cure..... really good baits. commonly and phil dalts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil dalts Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 If I had to choose only one hook bait. It would be specialized. So much confidence in em. Have got all the S types in my bait pouch thing. Those and my faithful maple pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
