Here is the link to the topic mentioned by thebugbassman
I would not use it again. Tried once and was a waste of time. I could not get fresh rag worm at the time so I thought I would try it but not even a single bite.

It's certainly made my mind up. the only thing it's good for is flushing down the toilet |

Read this post with interest as i purchased some of their products just before xmas as its sometimes hard to get the bait i want at short notice.
I must agree that their crab and shrimp baits haven't worked yet, did have a result with the black lug though. At present i couldn't say whether or not it works as i haven't given it a real good try yet, only time will tell! |

THROW IT AWAY !!!
Believe me I have tested it out as my tackle shop gave me some for nothing (tells a story).
One evening when me and a mate were getting into a lot of fish I made the point of baiting up with the stuff (black lug) on one rod. Well guess what - nothing !! not even a crab nibble.
This stuff and similar other products are just a gimmick designed to take your dosh. Most new anglers sadly take the bait so to speak and learn the hard way. Experienced anglers wont even give it a second look.
If you cant buy fresh bait easily then stock up on frozen squid, macky, herring, blueys, sandeels and black lug. All handy last minute alternatives to fresh stuff. |

You lads must know by now that a lot of stuff is designed to catch the angler and not fish, this applies to tackle as well as immitation bait. |
