I was sent a tub of each flavour of these and asked to take them out and give them a whirl. I immediately discarded the black ones because they made me wretch! I am sure that the carp will like them, though. So far I have caught carp on all of the others, but the orange Fatal Attraction (smell like Chocolate Orange) and pink Optical Illusion (smell like the Old Indian Spice) have by far been the best performers, with the latter being my absolute favourite. I use the small, round pop-ups inside PVA bags and they’re quite easy to balance, especially if they’ve been soaked for a while in the matching liquid.
