FAQs

Can I use these as a standalone bait?

Yes, they are highly effective as a standalone hookbait due to the intense signals released by the active coating.

Does the coating leave any residue on the lakebed?

Yes, it creates a concentrated cloud of attraction that remains in the immediate vicinity of the hookbait.

What hook size pairs best with the 16mm wafter?

Typically a size 4 or 6 hook provides the best balance, but this depends on your specific rig components.

Are these wafters suitable for winter fishing?

The highly soluble nature of the coating makes them excellent for colder water when fish are less active and need a stronger food signal.

Should I add any liquids to the tub?

It is not recommended, as external liquids may prematurely dissolve the Active coating.

Troubleshooting

Wafter is not balancing correctly with the hook

Adjust the size of the hook or add a small amount of putty to the rig to fine-tune the presentation.

Active coating breaking down too quickly in very warm water

Minimize the time the bait spends submerged before casting, or use a slightly larger bait size if the water temperature is significantly impacting the soluble layer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Immediate attraction release due to the soluble coating
  • Perfectly balanced to negate hook weight
  • Consistent with The Krill free bait range
  • Highly effective for wary, pressured carp

Cons

  • Active coating is fragile and can be damaged if stored incorrectly
  • Limited shelf life for the soluble coating if exposed to humidity
  • Attraction layer is designed to break down, meaning it is not a long-term soak bait

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize effectiveness, use these wafters with a rig that allows for subtle presentation, such as a KD rig or a simple blowback rig. Ensure your hook size is appropriate for the 16mm buoyancy to maintain the critical balance.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the tub sealed tightly when not in use to prevent moisture from affecting the soluble coating.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid handling the baits with dirty or oily hands to maintain the integrity of the active layer.
