Brommers are basically flavoured, "bleeding" floaties;

Take your favourite flavour and put a few tablespoons into a shallow plastic container, like a tupperware dish;

Add your favourite size PLAIN floaties (I prefer the small/competition ones), I use the whole bottle;

Roll them around with a teaspoon to ensure that the flavour has soaked through each floatie;

While the floaties are still wet, sprinkle them thoroughly with fluoroscene powder;

Thereafter, spread them out so that they don't stick to each other, and allow to dry in a ventilated area (not direct sunlight);

When they are nearly dry (still a little damp), I add a few tablespoons of custard powder and roll them around in this;

Once done, allow to dry out completely (should take a day or so);

When dry, place the floaties back in their original container ... they are now ready to be fished.

These floaties will bleed for hours, releasing both a cloud of flouro and flavour into the water.

They have really worked well for me :fishn

How long will they stay fresh? Can I assume that it will stay good for at least a month, as you dont use any water?

they  tend to get hard and brittle after a while, when they do just stick a lump of your normal "wit degie" on the bottom of the cap and close for for a while, the moisture of the degie wil make them softer again and wont break when hooking them
