A food producer called Herta used to make a garlic sausage called Red Jak, it was a superb bait. I caught my PB carp of 44lbs 12ozs on it at well as quite a few 30s. I also used it to catch tench, catfish, bream, roach, eels, barbel, chub, and pike!
I was absolutely gutted when it was no longer available! I used to cut it to size prior to using and roll it in a powder made up of betaine HCL and garlic salt. For several seasons I kept it secret from my fishing club mates, I called it "Insomnia" because when used you couldn't get any sleep!! I was told that anglers used to go into the local tackle shop asking for "Insomnia" not knowing what it was - very funny.
Since then I have tried a few other sausages but none for some unknown reason have been as good?
