Bite into them and they taste awful. Swallow them and you can't tell. So, if you are buying Pineapple Crush boilies to avoid the Poisson Chat stick to the ones they have to chew to eat - only order the 20mm's! To further enhance the repulsion the chats seem to show the Pineapple Crush baits try feeding something the chats actually like - something like carp pellets of fish meals etc. Doing this the Poisson Chat will totally leave your Pineapple Crush baits alone. One final thing before I sign off. I have had a few anglers tell me they have caught these dreaded little monsters in the past on other bait companies Pineapple baits. Well, you will.

I always carry a few tigers to France with me in case of poisson chat's being present. I will be taking a 5 kilo bag of the Pineapple Crush to fall back on from now on. One other thing that quite a few people I know do is to use the large shrink tube around the boilie, although I haven't tried this myself, I am certain it would be effective. Hi Gareth
