I pierce mine so they dont bother me. If anything they feel more secure with the large chunks for me. Funny how the attachment you use can change your view on something so drastically! 

I would keep buying them but at £20 a pot is the reason I'm looking down the making my own route. Basemix from my bait guy and I can add to it and do what I want then. Probably cost me less than £20 a tub but I havent worked that out yet!

Yes far too expensive to warrant that price for me, although I paid it lol

Good luck with the bait making 👍

I still really like proper jobs, I have loads of  pots of pop ups with different liquids and coatings, goos, powders, liquids on them. 

Match the hatch soaked in matching bait spray and coated with stick mix, proper job KLS unsullied,and now innovates choc orange soaked in minamino are the three I start with, I know they all work 😳

I've tried loads of different ones with wondergredients like goo and I'm yet to be convinced they work any better, I think as others have said, they still need to be in the right place.

Not a secret at all, Megaspice.

You may also find that Versele Laga Garlic Oil at around £17 for 250ml is a better buy.

I go to putting liquids in eggs, get a better mix through than adding it to the eggs and base mix.

Don't forget that I use the Garlic spice baits for hookbaits only, so the flavour level is that recommended for 4 eggs in a 1 egg mix.

I did put the whole recipe 

I've dropped the additional liquids just relying on garlic and megaspice

Rather than relying on liquids you could try adding some of this, i use 2 little scoops in my spod mix and it honks,it was my little secret lol, but it has done me really well for the last 2 years 😳
