chillfactor Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Cheers Nige.... will have a look at some point 👍 Yonny & a few others who use them, what size do the specialist hook baits go up to & how hard are they ? This lake in France is full of Poisson Chat so anything soft just gets nailed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go up to 16 mm in corkballs and bottom baits, and 17 mm in crushed cork pop ups. They're made from a standard basemix with a fancy curing process so even though they're well dried I don't think they could withstand serious attention form Poisson Chat mate. chillfactor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilled Soaked wooden balls in glug. Hard hookers, I make up a 1egg mix of my normal base mix with around 10% of extra egg albumen, and 50ml of glycerol. The flavours are usually what is required to a standard 6 egg mix. Boil, and then air dry, give a roll in glycerine, then dry again until rock hard. You can each time you roll in glycerine add a few drops of flavour. It may still be worth meshing your hookbaits though. My 1 egg mix makes me enough (pop-ups) for a years fishing, so will give you plenty for a French trip. chillfactor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
