Description
*Our new Coloured wafter mix has been formulated with less buoyancy.
After being asked many many times for a wafter mix we are extremely happy to offer this superb mix. Made with Milk and Egg Proteins thus increasing leakage, it also takes on attractors and flavours extremely well, you will find it easy to use and roll. It has a firm texture but remains soft enough to use with a bait needle without excessive force. This wafter mix has been made on the buoyant side allowing you to add base mix when creating matching hook baits. When being used without any other powders added to the mix a dumbell wafter (12mm size nozzle on a 15mm rolling table) will sit nicely using a size 4 hook with a ring swivel. There is always going to be a little trial and error when creating these sort of hook baits, you can alter the buoyancy of the mix by adding more powders to the wafter mix until you achieve your desired waft. Make sure you write everything down in percentages, you can then alter your percentages until you achieve your required buoyancy, also remember the buoyancy will increase slightly as the hook bait dries out, vice versa once the hook baits takes no water it will decrease the buoyancy. Good luck and happy rolling.
One egg will take approximately 80-100 grams of pop-up mix. You will get approximately 4 pots of pop ups per 250 grams of pop-up mix once made.
Simply add 40g Fluoro dye per kg wafter mix to create fluorescent hook baits. For washed out add 20g white dye and 20g fluoro dye per kg wafter mix. These are recommendations and can be altered until you achieve your desired colour. Add both wafter mix and your chosen dyes into a large plastic bag, then close bag trapping some air inside and shake well until mixed evenly.
For shelf life hook baits add 10-15ml of bait preserve per egg. It is important to remember the main part of the process is to dry your hook baits well prior to storing, usually a minimum of 48hrs, it can be slightly longer in the colder months due to extra moisture being in the air, the longer your hook baits are dried the less the moisture content will be helping to prevent mould growth.
This wafter mix requires boiling for roughly 90 seconds for a 12mm and 120secs for 15mm hook baits.

Very good product, very buoyant and does not swell up like a lot of others when in water. Lots of room to add additives and base mix ingredients. Stays buoyant for a 3-5days. Nice bright colour
