    Nutrabaits EnerGize.

    I don’t like Nutrabaits or him , it’s a long story going back to the eighties , I’ll leave it at that .

    Nutrabaits EnerGize.

    Probably based around poultry meal which is listed on the website I don’t see anything groundbreaking here Apparently Mark Holmes is behind it , so I’ll stay well clear ! 🤣

    Making Own Bait

    Just ordered some of this in liquid and powder form I’m wanting to use it in a stick mix for carp initially then barbel in the new season Sounds the biz but doesn’t everything these bait companies push ? 🤣

    Making Own Bait

    If the parcel is on a transit sized van , the driver won’t come down our lane as he can’t turn round , despite Amazon drivers coming down here every day ! I’ve known them to be travelling around with my parcel for three days , I once tracked them on the app and followed him till he stopped and...

    Making Own Bait

    Baitworks is one company that consistently comes up with great reviews, I’d use them myself but they use DPD as a carrier and they have a terrible reputation around here , almost as bad as Evrie! And I couldn’t risk putting an order in with frozen bait . So I’ll continue using West Yorkshire...

    Making Own Bait

    I don’t agree barbel or carp will eat anything you put in front of them , on some rare days maybe , but usually they’ll have a preference for certain baits on certain days which is probably linked to time of year as well , ask any match man and the baits they use depends on time of year . And...

    Making Own Bait

    I don’t see how shelf life’s catch more fish unless there attracted to preservative ? In my fishing I like to take any kind of doubt out of the equation, so I like to use fresh bait ideally followed by frozen less than six months old I don’t trust most bait companies, heard some horror stories...

    Trigga Ice

    Think we should let the fish tell us . Wasn’t around at the time but Triggas initial release was nothing short of spectacular, ( but I witnessed BFM taking waters over ) nether BFM or Trigga have that same impact on lakes that have never seen those baits before . Both catch fish today but I...

    Making Own Bait

    Yes that initial base mix you gave I took to the Trent , fished with a mate in a double swim , from memory I had over 15 bites he had 2 or 3 , we even swapped sides and I still carried on catching ! It was as conclusive as you were ever going to get . What I had left I took on the Derwent and...

    Making Own Bait

    Well i went from averaging 5 barbel a year ( using off the shelf baits ) on the Yorkshire Derwent to 24 barbel in a season after I’d pre baited with an HNV. bait , I kept the bait going in on a regular basis , a fresh one egg mix per evening session, and whatever that was left got thrown in at...
