Admin I would make it a rule that anyone that joins the forum and just asks for free bait don't get none.

An intoduction wouldn't hurt.

cheers boys & girls..

Do you do white or fluoro?

And which flavours?

How about bouyancy? I fish choddies a fair bit using size 5 stiff riggers and not all pop ups will hold the rig up without resorting to an 18mm

I do a off white that is SQUID they are very slightly weighted due to using 10% real squid powder in the mix. affraid

Off white is ok (looks like a washed out bait) but I don't understand why you're putting a percentage of real squid powder in at the expense of bouyancy. Unlike a bottom bait the fish never get to eat a pop up so surely just an attractor flavour is needed, in my opinion anyway.

Sorry to be fussy but there'd be no point in offering to field test them if I wouldn't use them.

Chris,squid powder is a soluble ingrediant so it's gonna leak out alot of attraction ideal for pop ups better than any nasty fake chemicals but i see what you mean about the bouyancy maybe you could do some corkballs? Smile
