Yes john i use it quite a bit down in Oz. it's made by an american firm called Berkley. The ones i use are primarily aimed at the trout market and come in either paste or nugget form. The only problem i have experienced is that the baits do partly dissolve and so become difficult to handle on the hook, they do give off an odour and quite an oily residue. I have started using their powerbait series, which come in either corn, maggot or worm types, appropiately coloured and scented they have caught me a couple of good roach and perch so far, being a bit tougher than the real thing they do deter the small pickers somewhat. Best tactic with the worm is to trot them and use the current to impart a bit of life into the bait.
