Ive never really been one for adding scent/attractant but this stuff really works and it lasts! With just a dab on the hook and lure it soon landed me a fish on a tough session and has earned a place in my bag full time 💯

Another excellent product it speaks for its self

Absolutely brilliant, cannot fault it, literally got it a couple of days after, so looking forward to using it again like I said I can’t fault it…… will add pictures on soon

I have used many scents over the years, but this one stands out for a number of reasons. I love the small, easy dispenser, meaning I can keep a number of scents in my lure box. It is water based, but stays on your lure like an oil based scent whilt dispersion flavour like a water based product.

Amazing! Attractive and long lasting, better than the biggest brands

Been using this glug for about a month now and wow!!! I have I noticed a difference in my catch rate top quality product

Sticky, smelly and very easy to use without getting everywhere. I’m not 100% sure if I caught because of this or not but will definitely use again.

Easy to use from the tube, sticky and smelly.
Certainly covered my line and hook and I did catch fish but was it the product or the bait. I guess we’ll never know. I will try it again.

Please see the attached video for our review of Mussel, Vanilla & Black Pepper - Autograph Glug

Used it in a recent session. Easy to use and definitely increased the amount of bites I was recieving. I would definitely recommend.

Easy to use and from the moment I applied it to my Hookbait the amount of bites I received majorly improved. Resulted in a couple of nice carp for me.

Made up an identical pair of dropshot rods, one with a plain UV micro spikey shad and the other with the same lure but coated in HBA.

Over a 1/2 mile stretch of a local small river I had 17 perch - 5 on the untreated and 12 on the treated lure dropping into the same holes. The treated lure fish were generally larger too.

Too early to tell off one test but very promising start.

Pikezilla Product Review: Hooksure from @unfairbaits

This week I was sent some HOOKSURE hook bait attractant samples to try out on my next planned river session. The only experience I had previously with any sort of attractant was predator liquid which you need to apply by injecting dead-baits with a syringe - This is a rather messy affair (and smelly). I used the Sardine, Squid, Garlic and Salmon flavour this time (blue packaging). You can apply this to absolutely anything you like, soft lures, hard lures, hooks etc.
I plan to use the Shrimp, liquorice and garlic version on my next session.

I have broken down my review using 3 headings for the sake of not writing an essay :)

1. Packaging/product.
The overall packaging is excellent quality and includes some easy to follow guidance on the reverse side. The product itself comes in a small robust tube not unlike a lip balm you’d find at your local Boots store (only tastier), this can be easily stored in a bag or pocket making it ultra portable. There is a small lid to pull off and then a twisting cog at the base to twist which gradually raises the attractant from the open end. I would describe the texture of the attractant to be similar to a medium to soft paste. Soft enough to spread, but consistent enough not to break up or fall out of the tube. There is obviously an odour given the ingredients included, however this is not overbearing or offensive even up close.

2. Application.
The application of the attractant was super easy, by simply smearing the attractant up and down the micro shad / hook it spread evenly. Personally I was keen to go a bit further so went a bit overboard on the hook and head of the bait for full effect (as seen in the photo of the micro spikey shad). As per the instructions, I topped this up every few casts.

3. Results (Did the fish like it?)
Here’s what you’re all reading this review for right :)
The short answer is YES!
I would compare this session to a few I’ve had recently, on the same stretch of river, the same weather conditions and using the same micro lure. In previous short sessions, fish have taken the bait but only few and far between, i.e. catch a small perch, fish for another 5-10 minutes and catch another. When using HOOKSURE I was catching small perch more or less on every cast (when not dealing with that pesky surface weed we all love). It really felt like I had the edge and it gave me confidence to keep going as the small fish started to get bigger and bigger.

Now for the best bit! As daylight dropped, Boom!!
I netted a beautiful 37cm Perch which is by far my personal best.

Conclusion:
Generally, fish attractants have mixed reviews from different anglers. Personally I have seen great results on my first session using this and I don’t believe this to be a coincidence.
The stretch of river fished is a popular spot and can be difficult to get results especially on short sessions.
Personally, I welcome anything that can give me that edge, especially when hunting specimens and that all important next PB.

Get yours today, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks again to @unfairbaits for the samples of this awesome fish attractant and the results it got including my PB 💯🐟

I decided to give the floating paste a try, I’m predominantly a fly fisherman, so any flavors weren’t really of interest to me, but the floating capabilities were.
For years I’ve been using gel floatants like Gink and Loon, both work well to a point but I dislike the slick you get from the fly. This product didn’t appear to cause that at all, my fly floated very well even after passing through fast ripply water, and stayed buoyant until I caught a fish.
Most flies need a decent rinse in the river a dry out on the amadou and quick touch up with the floating, this was no different. I have been using furled leaders for many years and my go to product has been red mucilin. As this is also a paste type product I tried it on my furled leaders and was impressed how well it did, it seems to stay on the leader for longer than mucilin.
The only thing I did was use a small piece of felt pad in order to apply it, there is no pad with this but it’s easily sorted, even an old mucilin one works fine.
So how did I find it? Overall it’s performance was exactly what I wanted, it’s reasonably priced you get a very decent quantity and it’s a nice screw top lid which is secure in the pocket but easy to handle mid river. Well done.

Very pleasant to deal with, shipment arrived quickly and in good condition. Only used the glug once so far, so too early to say much about it other than it’s easy to apply. Will be trying both products over the next few weeks, fingers crossed… 🤞
