This was the very soft cheese that comes wrapped in individual segments such as "Dairylea".

One brand is sold as "The Laughing Cow". Could this be classed as Cow Paste?

i recently bought some dairylea to try for the cru's but it was so soft and gloopy by the time i got to the water it was unusable, i guess you have to keep it cold to be able to use it, is the laughing cow type a herder cheese or do you have the same problem

Are you sure cow paste isn't a reference to slop fishing / ground bait paste? I can see why paste would be good for crucians, if it adds the last bit of weight to cock the float you'll know when its come off the hook.
