Hi to everyone

As newcomer to "papgooi" I feel that got myself caught up in all the hype.

Boldips - got just about all of them

Bait dips - the whole lot

Floaties - now these are also availble in all the different flavours shapes and sizes.

The obvious has now happened - I have confused myself big time and where must I keep all the stuff..

Can some please bring some sanity to my life again!

How should one organise yourself so that you have what counts and not all the nice to have's?

I live in Gauteng and fish the Vaaldam area quite often.

Help!

Tks

Fisrt of all - you will find that you have duplicated dips without knowing it i.e. you might have more than 2 different banana typde dips, or you might have a gumtree and someone elses bloekom dips, you might even have a rose dip and a rhodium dip as well as R2K (rose rhodium) etc ect. this is where you start - clean out the "excess dips". This is how I did it:

1. best FX for me was Barry's (The Original) now called something else

2. best Pink sweets for me was Shocker from Hookit (Willie Moll)

3. Best Banjo - someone in our club makes the best - so I use that one

4. Tjop Tjop - Supercast

..

..

30.

 

You get the idea.

I just decated these into my own bottles, with numbers on the closures.

Plain competition floaties made out 80% of my hookbait arsenal. the other 10% some mielies and the rest some colored comp floaties (yellow and red).

This I would think is a good start in reorginising

There is a post on sealine somewhere regarding top ten dips. I think the heading was "winterdips" or "top ten winter dips". Search that and you will get a general idea of what the top ten dips are. You can then add 5 or so of you own choice, and see how they work for you. If they don't, replace them with another 5 maybe.

I think if we could start a list of each dip and its content and also its known as names, it would help a lot of people...

eg.
Banjo      = Banana aka banana split
Bunspice = cinamon aka perdeby

I had the same problem, Im now down to 15 dips, 10 boldips and 8 floaties. It was a hell of a process, but im confident the dips I now have will produce for a longgg time.
Some guys prefer 100's of dips as it gives them a lot of options. Play around and see what dip works the best. Keep a log of this and you will find in a year or two your most favourite dips.

I have now put a small notebook in my box. With a enough discipline I will keep record of what works and does not. Using this I can adjust what dips to keep.

Tks to all for their input

Hi, this is exactly why we started Atoom Baits, to go back to basics and eliminate the frustration of bait selection. Atoom Baits have 18 flavoured all natural "popcorn" floats and the Atoom "MIX" which you mix into the groundbait."That's IT!" The "MIX" stimulates the lateral line of the fish from a distance and also make a feeding tunnel from where your groundbait lies at the bottom to the surface of the water. This is like sending a flair at night, it is just a direct pointer to your hookbait for a fish. You do not need any dips,sprays,backing or anything else just 1x Atoom popcorn float per hook and Atoom "MIX" in your baitball..  Happy fishing Alex:wfish:fst:
