What are wafters?
Wafters are critically balanced hookbaits: they just don't float. Together with the weight of your hook, a wafter hovers just above the bottom and behaves almost weightlessly – like a loose feed boilie.
Why fish with a wafter?
- Natural presentation: the wafter gets sucked in just as easily as a free boilie
- The weight of the hook is masked
- Ideal on heavily fished waters with wary carp
- Works on almost any standard rig
Wafter, pop-up or boilie?
On a clean, hard bottom a wafter is often the best choice: inconspicuous and natural. If the bottom is dirty or soft, choose a pop-up that hangs above the debris. A regular boilie as hookbait works fine on unfished waters where the fish have seen little yet.
Match your wafter with the flavour of your feed boilies and your hookbait is no different from the feed around it. Exactly what you want with clever, cautious fish.
