Our Bait Glugs and Bait Dips are two very different things. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion in the angling world regarding these items and why and when you use them. I can’t talk about anyone else’s range of baits but I can certainly explain the difference with ours. The Dips and the Glugs are PVA friendly.

This is a completely different animal to the Bait Glug. Hook Bait Boilie Booster Dips are just that, a booster dip for your hook baits only. These are highly concentrated and so must not be used in the same way as a glug.
Although a carp will be attracted to one of these hook baits they certainly wouldn't enjoy eating free baits covered in a Booster Dip. It would be like making a cup of instant coffee with four heaped teaspoons of coffee powder. It would smell fine. but you try and drink it!
My only use for Booster Dips is to give my hook bait an 'in your face' aroma that the fish will not be able to miss. Sometimes this method can be deadly, other times it can work against you, particularly if everyone else is doing the same.
Simply dip your hook bait into the tub prior to casting. Some anglers like to leave hook baits soaking in the liquid to really boost the smell. This is fine as the carp doesn't actually get to eat the hook bait.
 
Glugs are based on a liquid food source - indeed they are a liquid version of the bait itself and can be used in as high a quantity as you feel fit. Glugs can be used for boosting all of your baits, just the hook baits or for leaving baits in soak.
Personally I don't usually put anything on my finished free baits (the baits I bait up with) other than occasionally leaving them in particle liquid, or if I need to re-hydrate them after air drying. However, I do like to have extra food signals emitting from my hook baits - so long as everyone else on the water doesn't do the same!
I often take a few baits out of a standard bag of boilies for use as hook baits, put them in a separate bag, add some glug, shake them around and freeze. Freezing them down exaggerates the sucking in of the glug when they thaw.
Because our glugs aren't highly flavoured it's very difficult to go over the top with them. Add them to your boilies and hook baits, pour them over pellets or into particles. Add them to groundbait, method mixes or stick mixes. The choice is yours - there's no limit to their uses.
 
This is an idea I saw several years ago and still use to this day. It comprises of a clear plastic tube containing four separate bait pots. These can be used for carrying glugs, dips or an assortment of different hook baits.
The problem with most of the glug pots I've used in the past is that they are prone to leaking. This is usually caused by getting a drop of liquid in the threads of the screw cap - it then manages to work its way around the thread channels and out of the lid. By placing the tubs in an outer tube you stop all of that irritating spillage contaminating everything else in your kit.
We supply these tubes with four empty pots for filling with your own combination of baits... or if you tell us the size and type of Quest bait you're using we'll supply you with a kit containing the appropriate glug, dip, pop-ups and hard bottom baits.
