Plastic baits

We very often use plastic baits.... I love that feeling of certainty that you've still got a bait attached and they've produced very good results for us.
How do you feel about them? Convinced or not?

I quite like using plastic corn over a bed of boilie and pellet / partimix. Another good bait I have found is plastic maggot especiallly during the winter months on a Korda maggot clip ( medussa rig ). I use them over a bed of hemp and maggot

I havent really tried just plastic baits for carp fishing,although I do use a small piece of plastic/rubber corn to tip a boilie/particle,which turns it into a critacally balanced bait with an extra visual aid.

Thinking on the plastic bait scenario does the plastic emmit any scent in it's make up. I must say I would feel confident on dipping this bait the same as the bait being used to remove any residue of plastic etc.

Why would a artificial bait attract a fish , more so than a fresh bait. I have spoken to somebody from Enterprise baits . The fake products do contain a chemical which has proven to bring fish on. What is it , he wouldn't say Crying or Very sad
