- These baits are suitable for a variety of fishing conditions, including pressured waters where carp are cautious. Their natural presentation helps improve rig effectiveness and increases the likelihood of successful hook-ups
- Psycho Baits Wafters are commonly available in sizes like 12mm, packaged in tubs for convenience
Usage Tips
- Use them on hair rigs to allow the bait to float slightly above the hook, creating a natural look that encourages carp to take the bait.
- Ideal for lakes with heavily fished carp populations, as the hovering effect can trick cautious fish.
- Wafters can be paired with pop-ups or bottom baits to create a balanced presentation and increase attraction.
Hair Rig
When using Psycho Baits wafter baits, it is recommended to use a rig that complements the wafter's buoyancy, ensuring it sits just above the lakebed. The Hair Rig is the most common and versatile rig for wafters, allowing the wafter to sit just off the bottom. The length of the hair can be adjusted based on the size of the wafter. For optimal performance, ensure the rig is tested in shallow water to confirm the wafter's behaviour, hovering just off the bottom.
