hey
people will tell you all sorts of things to promote various brands especially the influencers and sponsored anglers.
all these brands get the flavorings from one or two manufacturing company's bottle them with a base and sell them to us.
Bloemhof is an easy dam to catch fish at simple as that, i think thats why theres not allot of information on the dam.
most of the time i've never need to use any dips
plain white or yellow float with a sweet white dough backing has worked well for me and just a plain sweetcorn Koo pip thats it and as simple as it gets. Worms if you want
if i were to choose a few baits i wouldn't leave with out it would be these dips and floaties
my preference would be
Lootjie
Petite Janine
Tjop Tjop
Devils Fork
Fx
Banjo
Floats
Plain Yellow / White
Gold / Bronze Medals
Bunspice
Fx
Garlic
banjo or pink sweets
Rigs are pretty standard Sliding Rietvlei these can be purchased ready made from most fresh water tackle stores
and if you go to a tackle shop the are going to upsell you allot of things you need.
