Due to the digestibility/solubility of the boilies we produce, you can not use a standard freezer bait taken straight from the bag and mount it onto the hair for any length of time without it going soft. With this in mind we have produced a hardened hookbait that is identical to the bait but will stay on the hair and remain firm for up to three days. Hardened hookbaits are available in 14mm, 16mm and 18mm.
