I’ve long been a fan of the ball-pellet-type Soluballs and these disc-like versions are very interesting. Available in all of the Nash recipes, they’re designed to use threaded down the hook link instead of a PVA stick. I use them slightly differently, and thread just one onto the hair before threading my hook bait on. This breaks down and boosts the attraction around my bait and I’ve used the Amber Strawberry ones this winter to great success.
