anyone give garlic mussels a try?

ive used them a few times this winter down the pier head on night tides as bait shop was closed and had a few interesting results with the best being a healthy 4lb cod.

I prefer the ones with fresh parsley for fishing. The garlic is too overpowering and if you like to take fish for the table then it can taint the flesh.

:doubt: the white wine ones dint work but garlic ones from aldi are doin the job, ive done better on the mussel than the bait from taskers, fresh or frozen

I think they can smell the alcohol. I started to use alcohol gel to clean my hands after I baited up and I didn't catch anything then went back to wearing latex gloves everytime I baited up and my catch rate went back to normal.
