When Dynamite combined a new fruit-based palatant with its already hugely successful Monster Tiger Nut recipe, the result was a bait that is instantly accepted by carp and which also proved a valid long-term food source through testing. Although all new baits will claim to have an immediate impact when introduced, it’s difficult to tell when this is true and when it is not. I have witnessed Red-Amo going into a lake for the first time (it hadn’t been launched yet) and immediately proving successful. I also happen to know a fair few of the Dynamite field testers and they too reported great results almost from day one.
