Sorry was replying to Oldfellah... yeah the funky colour ones are supermarket specials... me and Oldfellah fished a lake together sometime around 2003. An English bloke turned up with about 50kg of those multicoloured €2 a kg jobies and outcaught everyone else on the lake that week
I very much doubt they'd work on well fed, lower stock waters though!

This is why I don't think the bait ban will have TOO much of an effect. On places like Abbey which sees a lot of decent British bait, catch results may suffer. On a public lake/river I doubt it'll make an ounce of difference. I see Decathlon sell their own range of fishmeals which don't look too shabby (they certainly don't have bullseyes on them)
As i've said previously, I'll just look for a supplier of maize and i'll be more than confident using that on the publics.

That's reduculous especially when they'll still be able to use there hookbaits, more likely they're just too tight to pay for their own loose feed.

We've had many 'sponsored' anglers absolutely crippled by their inflexibility regarding bait, whole holidays wasted because they can get something that is untried and unrecommended cheap..
The trend of everyone out there wanting to be 'sponsored' by a bait company does more to boost bank balances than catch rates.
This isn't a criticism of the individual baits in themselves, but one bait that works well in one water may bomb in another, the same goes for the time of year. You've got to be flexible when fishing different waters and fidelity to sponsorships prevent that.
So maybe this will be one bonus of the bait ban.

i know this thread is about the bait ban in eu countries but there is also a ban on dairy and meat products, even things made from either so taking food over if your on a drive n survive could be a struggle.

We're planning on setting up a system where customers can order from a British owned farm shop localish to us that sell British cuts including sausage and bacon and have it delivered to us on site. There's always alternatives.
