Interesting Ian. My first carp session with the original grange when that first came out was a bit of a tench fest. Not sure how similar this new one is, but it's got me thinking
Cheers, Dave.
Is that like Guinness
Cheers, Dave.

I think you also have to consider the venue itself chaps. Waters that see alot of boilies, then clearly they are used to picking them up and will do so readily.
The venue I'm on currently, a 60 acre gravel pit sees very little in the way of any bait, so it's 'naturals' all the way, red maggots.
When there is a proliferation of silvers I just step up the feed and use plastic grubs.
A couple from yesterday...
9.7
8.11
Plus five others from 7 down to 4.
That'a about a seasons catch on that venue, in one session..
I got lucky for once.

Agree with Ian, the simple baits like corn and maggot have been working well for me over the last few weeks. Not managed fish quite as big as his but some good bags with lots of 6's and some 7's.

Very hard to get hold of John - tried maggots dusted with blood powder this year. Not conclusive results so far.....

A tottAlly devastating tench bait is the hydra mussels from pallatrax
Rehydrate them I'n mussel liquid or any liquid of ur choice and u have a serious natural hookbait! Water Mussels

The naturals from pallatrax have caught my eye but I've never got round to using them.
Have you had any good catches on them?

Sorry lads not been on for a few days, I use them for carp as I don't do any tench fishing but my freind who is an avid tencher has been smashing them on the mussels,
I am planning on giving them a go for the barbel and chub as Martin James has been doing well on them
