One other important note. DO NOT DO THIS INSIDE YOUR HOUSE OR YOUR WIFE WILL RUN YOU OUT. Scott

Why... the aren't smelly, and they look like mini marshmallows.

If I loose my nibble in a cast, I consider that a wasted cast and reel it in and put another on. Secret to using them is open the bottle and pour them out in something i.e tupper ware container and put a fan on them for about 20-30 minutes stirring occasionaly. Need them to dry to the point that the outside is kind of leathery but NOT hard as a rock. Then put back in the bottle and fish. Properly dried out I can somtimes catch 4-5 fish on one nibble. I've tried every spray and scent on the market and all will help but nothing I've found out produces the nibble. That being said if they are actively feeding you don't have to put on anything but does it make a difference ? I'll consistently catch 5-1 as someone in the same boat fishing without one. usaly doesn't take long for a partner to ask to borrow a few of those. I keep a guest bottle in the boat just for that. Scott

I just dump the whole bottle out onto a paper plate, and let them sit overnight, and they be perfectly rubbery.

I have NEVER had any luck with them. They didn't even make good chum.

I know more than one spot in Texas you can pull up a chair and just watch the next guy ketch them if you dont use them because that is EXACTLY how its gunna go if the next guy has them and you dont ....just saying

I keep chartreuse, pink, & white nibbles in the boat at all times. Usually don't use due to efficiency (I fish with a pole in each hand, single poling - no spider rigging). I never thought to pre-dry the nibbles, I pour some out on the deck, I like the post above for efficiency in motion. They do work, seems to me better on Ross Barnett than in Lower Pearl River Delta.

if they sit in the sun on the deck about 5 minutes in the Texas summer heat and sun they are right tough puppies

Try my drying out method in your bedroom if you keep a fan in there for white noise while sleeping. When your wife opens the door to go in all H*** will break loose. Just sayin. Not that I've ever done that before. Scott

Check out the bait pump. Invented by one of our members here! I believe in them.

I use them in addition to both Slab and G Sauces. I need any advantage I can get!

The secret to having drier nibbles is to separate them into two jars. They need room to dry out. When I run out of them in one jar, I open a fresh jar and pour half of the new jar into it and set it aside. When one of the half jars gets low, I open up a new jar and split that jar with them. Then pickup the half jar I poured previously and use them. I keep repeating this process and I always have drier nibbles ready to go. I always have at least three jars getting ready to go. And that’s of both colors I use. I’ve found that different colors work better on different lakes so I have some ready for the lakes I fish.
If you don’t have a second jar to split them up, put half of your jar in a baggie and leave in the sun for a few hours during your trip for the day.
