As a regular user of PVA bags, I jumped at the chance to test these tiny baits. However, their size and relatively soft nature make them extremely difficult to use on hair rigs. Even the tiniest needles have to be used incredibly carefully to stop the baits splitting and threading them over the knot on a hair loop is extremely frustrating. Once this is combated, however, the colour and smell do combine well and I have caught fish on the Tuna & Spice version in conjunction with tiny bags of 3mm and 5mm pellets.
