TARES? – How best to prepare them ?

[TF_Dr.Phil]

I used to soak them 24hrs in Bicarb. soda ,drain then boil in fresh water then leave in wrapped newpaper with a little sugar (but a wasp problem) and they got blacker.
But i will use tomorrow …..whats the other ways if i need to use them quickly tomorrow?

Funnily enough I have just cooked some. Just simmered in a pan of water for 10-15 mins, fridge for a while and they are ready to use. In the past I have dyed them black or red with food dye …

Nobody shoot me please but I’ve switched to the Dynamite baits tinned jobbies. No hassle, convenient, they stay on the hook, and, more importantly, Dee roach love ’em…

Thanks fellow piscatorials ……the flask method is the one i could not remember . Tomorrow the Sodertalje roach will get some , with hemp ,off course !

heathrow baits do do a prepared soft pellet called stench black in colour smells a bit pukey and work , a long shelf life and will stay on the hook , perhaps you could hair rig em last for ever ?????

Just to add a couple of things to above,try letting them ferment for a while,they give off a sticky milky goo after a couple of days or freeze and thaw them and they are fantastic.
