The interesting thing with this product is that they are semi-cooked and you can also add a flavouring to the inside pocket and punch through, giving the baited hook a semi-paste flavoured sandwich. Several punches could also be used on a hair-rig if that is your penchant. If using Garlic Puree do watch any contact with fingers to eyes, it stings like hell. The propelling punches where bought from an on-line auction site. Looking forward to trying these in the new season on the river for the roach.

I've been trying to find these since you posted your excellent suggestion but can't find them anywhere. So, extending your thinking, I just purchased a packet of Warburtons Thins (soft white, sliced). They don't look as doughy as the Toastie Pocket but I'm going to five them a go with sliced cheese and various paste flavourings over the weekend to see if they work.

I wonder if anything will fancy a salmon paste and cucumber sandwich?

I buy my Warburton's Toastie Pockets from the Co-op. With four in a pack, its a good idea once the pack in open to put the rest in a plastic sealed zip-bag, as they tend to dry out very quickly. I'm thinking "Princes Sardine & Tomato Paste", or "Shippams Tuna & Sweetcorn", yummy!

Well done on trying something different. Incidentally, could you tell us a bit more information about your groundbait options, they sound interesting!!!
