Makes establishing a bait difficult if it alters dramatically once in water.

Although yesterday was a little early I think a week or so and we will be getting there.... I don't envy you playing with different baits, particularly the smell. I still can't get the rahja off my fingers from yesterday and I've had 3 showers! The daffodils were coming through yesterday.

LOL All the prototype bits as well as the established to choose from. This is the downside to being in the bait game. I can never sit back and reap the rewards with a well established bait which I know will produce the goods. There are always ingredients to be playing around with and baits which aren't quite right which still need tweaking. I used to think it would be great having lots of baits to use which others couldn't get their hands on, but in reality most of the time as the baits are coming together they aren't as effective as one already on the market. When they are then it is time for me to start at stage one again with a bait which needs working upon. Ah well, I guess I should be real pleased that my hobby is also my business. Although snow and frost up here again last night Spring is definitely in the air. It won't be long before we are sat in our t shirts being bitten by all those little insects! Hopefully this prolonged winter will have reduced their numbers a little. You have a problem deciding which bait – I have a total nightmare! LOL
