Hi,
So not sure if I got the right stuff.. I have ordered from willy's worms mackerel and also dynamite baits predator liquid and hoping to inject the mackerel with the liquid to make it more attractive etc however on the bottle I've been sent it says "pellets and groundbait enhancer"

Has anyone used this brand and can vouch for it don't want to ruin a good pack of deadbaits.
Any tips or advice is much appreciated.

Not sure you’ll really need it? Mackerel is an oily fish and has its own attractants..

Im sure it won’t ruin your baits as most flavourings like that are liquid anyway. You don’t have to go by what’s on the label…

Years ago we used to inject our deadbaits with pilchard oil that would seep out over time and the Norwegian pike seemed to really lke it . . . . .

There
I doubt it will do any harm. It may well be good to inject a bit. Using two rods? Try one enhanced on one rod and natural on the other. I would be interested how you get on.

I have used Predator Plus liquid .
Not for pike.
, I use it in a mix of chopped worm and casters, Also with chopped maggots .
All types of fish seem to be attracted to it.
As for pike ,you have nothing to lose by trying it .

Try buying the Pike Pro liquid.

You don’t need to use much but on slow flowing waters in particular, I have had good results.
