Although there are many other ways of presenting particle baits like, sprouting:- fermenting:- colouring and flavouring, provided the above guidelines are met, the baits listed will be totally harmless to all fish and can be used knowing that they are completely safe. 

PLEASE NOTE:- When soaking!! particles absorb water quickly so check and top up with water after two hours and again after four hours if necessary. Always allow plenty of water to cover the particles, and where boiling is specified this must be done to ensure the safe preparation of bait. IF IN ANY DOUBT, PLAY SAFE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER SOAK.
