Went to France last week with 60kg of boilies and another 20kg of tigers. Didn’t even hide the bait and never got stopped.

I'm glad people are taking bait without problems.
But please be aware that the only reason for this is the French authorities being nice and choosing not to apply the rules.

Chris, we don't have any COVID restrictions so there is no need to check you when you come back in.
Micky, the potential issue re bait is going into the EU not coming into UK.

They're simply not interested - just got back and had plenty on show in two vans and not a word said. They don't seem over bothered about covid vaccination proof either, had to show it going out but not for coming back to England.

Got back Saturday! Had 40kg of boilies and 25kg of pellet and no one was interested. Asked us where we were off to and wished us luck! Can only go from that one experience but they weren’t fussed at all 🤷♂️

They really don't care. Apart from maybe one or two instances where they have to be seen to be doing something, customs have bigger fish to fry, and they have done throughout the whole pandemic, and now the Ukraine crisis.
Trust me, If you had a van with a ton of boilies and a box of military boots tucked away in a bag, it would be the boots they'll grill you about.

Went over last week,took boiles,pellets and particle.
Apart from a random security check,customs really aren't bothered.
They see fishing gear and wish you luck.

Take a look at NE baits based in Ireland. They make a really cracking range of quality baits which we have used to great success on our lakes.

You live on an island which has more livestock than it does people. Make use of the animal feed sir. Most of it works better than boilies anyway
