FAQs
What species are these hookers best for?
They are designed for a variety of river coarse fish, including barbel, chub, bream, and larger roach. Their potent scent and durability make them suitable for larger fish.
Can I use these in still waters like lakes or ponds?
While they might still catch fish, they are specifically engineered for river conditions. Their high leakage and durability might be less advantageous or even deterring in still water compared to baits designed for those environments.
How long do the hookers stay on the hook?
Their durable construction is designed to withstand river currents and rough treatment. They should remain on the hook for extended periods, allowing for multiple casts or long waits for a bite.
What is the 'high leakage' feature?
High leakage means the bait is formulated to release its attractants and scent into the water column very effectively. This helps to draw fish from further away, which is especially useful in rivers where currents can disperse scent quickly.
Do I need to prepare these hookers before use?
No, these hookers are ready to use straight from the pot. No preparation or soaking is required.
How should I store these hookers?
Store them in their original container with the lid tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their freshness and scent.
Troubleshooting
Bait washes off hook too quickly in strong currents.
Ensure the bait is securely attached. Consider using a bait band or a slightly larger hook to help hold it in place, or try slightly 'mushing' the bait onto the hook shank for a more secure fit.
Not getting bites despite using the bait.
While effective, consider varying your rig, presentation, or location. Ensure the scent is not being masked by other strong odors in the water. Try fishing closer to features or in different depths.
Bait seems too hard for the fish to take.
If fishing for very tentative feeders, you may need to slightly soften the bait. Some anglers gently crush a small portion before attaching it, or try soaking it in a little water for a short period. However, for their intended river use, the hardness is a feature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These hookbaits are ready to use directly from the pot. Simply thread them onto your hook, hair rig, or bait band according to your preferred fishing method. Ensure the bait is securely attached to withstand casting and current.
Compatibility:
These hookbaits are designed for river fishing and are compatible with most standard coarse fishing rigs. They are particularly effective when used with hair rigs, bait bands, or directly on the hook for certain methods.
Care:
Store the hookbaits in their original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after use to preserve the scent and moisture. Avoid leaving them in extreme temperatures. While durable, they are still a bait product and should be handled hygienically.
