Bait

Never has a more appropriate name been given to a product, as the rest of the DHP office staff will testify after we accidentally sprayed some on bait while indoors. The smell is not offensive, we’ve likened it to beef-flavoured Hula Hoops, but it lingers for days. Herein lies its strength. Just one spray onto a hook bait, floater or zig and, unlike many additives, it stays on the bait for a very long time, multiple casts in fact.

You might have seen this handy little product being bandied around over social media lately but for those of you who haven’t, what exactly is it? To be used in conjunction with the seperate 17-litre, olive, square container, the inner bucket complete with drainage holes has its own handle. So imagine you want to soak your particles, wash out your boilies, or perhaps you have arrived at the lake with your spod mix full of all the liquid goodness you added along the way. When it comes to spodding this can very easily become messy and water adds a huge weight to whatever baiting device you are casting, of course. Well now you can simply lift the inner bucket to begin the draining process and by turning the bucket it will safely sit on the edge of the large outer container, which will catch all that important liquid, leaving you a dryer and easy bait to handle – less mess, less fuss.
