Product Information
Full details
Sticky Baits The Krill Wafters are essential for carp anglers looking to improve their hooking efficiency through critically balanced hookbaits. Ideal for both seasoned carp fishers and those targeting wary specimens, these wafters perfectly counteract the weight of your rig, allowing the bait to mimic free-offering movement. While they offer superior presentation, keep in mind that they are specifically weighted for 16mm applications, which may limit their utility if you strictly use micro or oversized hookbait setups.

FAQs
Can I use these over other types of bait?
Yes, while they are designed to match the Krill range, the high-attract nature of the Krill scent makes them a fantastic single hookbait option over any baiting strategy.
Do I need to drill the wafters?
No, they are supplied with a texture that is easy to mount on a hair rig using standard bait needles.
Why are they a different color than the dry Krill boilies?
They are intentionally lighter so that once the Krill boilies take on water and darken, the wafters match the visual appearance of the bottom baits perfectly.
Can I glug these wafters?
Yes, using the Sticky Baits Krill Bait Glug is highly recommended if you want to increase the scent trail and attraction.
Are these suitable for long-range fishing?
Absolutely, they are durable enough to withstand the forces of a long-range cast without splitting or falling off the hair.
Troubleshooting
The hookbait is sinking too quickly
Check your hook size; using a smaller or lighter hook will allow the wafter to achieve the desired critical balance.
The bait feels soft after being in the water for a long time
This is normal for high-attract hookbaits. If performance is affected, replace the hookbait every 24 hours.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Critically balanced for optimal hooking potential
- Color-matched to soaked Krill bottom baits
- Versatile for use as singles or over loose feed
- Excellent for deceiving wary, pressured carp
- High-quality texture that holds on the hair rig
Cons
- Limited to 16mm sizing
- Requires specific rig balance testing
- Should not be used with excessively heavy hooks that exceed the wafting buoyancy
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, check your rig balance in the margins before casting out. Simply attach your hook to the wafter and lower it into the water; the rig should settle slowly rather than hitting the bottom with a thud. If the hook pulls the wafter down too quickly, you may need a smaller hook size or a lighter hook link.
For storage, keep the tub sealed tightly to maintain the bait's scent profile and texture. If you are fishing in highly competitive waters, applying the Sticky Baits Krill Bait Glug to the wafters can provide an extra layer of attraction, turning the bait into an even more potent hookbait option.
