Try to add some garlic extract as well.

 

[eh1421]

k bro what do you mean by garlic extract
how and where

mike

 

[rallysman]

soak some of the worms/beefheart/shrimp/whatever in some garlic extract. You should be able to pick it up at the LFS, but it's cheaper at the grocery store

It's garlic juice basically.
