Looking forward to trying the baits out, maybe even this weekend if the postage has a fair wind

Welcome back buddy
It’s been a busy few years 😂
The Herb is certainly popular. The name comes from a few herbs and spices and a little bit of a private joke with the handcraft lads way back in the beginning. I remember one lad saying that the name “the herb” wouldn’t catch on, but we look back and chuckle now.
All of that aside. If you saw it being made and saw what goes into it then you will understand why it will catch a few. But even I am surprised as to how popular and effective it has become.
The hookbait sales are very good, they have gone far and wide! The squid……it just catches so many big carp!!
Keep your eyes peeled for the new one due out soon. And the one after that if we can nail it!!
New squid bait……..going to need to change it I think as one main element is maybe not going to be available to us.
Lots going on but just keep an eye on our catch reports……….the one thing you can’t lie about 😉

That's great news, I read the details on the squid hookbaits and just thought that's a bit of me and had to order some. The herb does look gd. I'm curious though, why the name The Herb? Feels a little misleading, I was thinking it was going to be a hemp based bait with maybe something alternative like pea protein herbs and spices I see fenugreek but I wasn't expecting an out and out fishmeal

Great service as usual, order arrived within 2 days.
The herb is a v special bait, without doubt the best bait I've used, since I stopped making my own years back.

Gave a mate my tub of pink squid pop ups and my herb hard hookbaits for a france trip he went on last month. He’s catching so many on them he doesn’t want to give them back

I've not been on the forums properly for a while, not sure how I missed this company. Just placed an order to try some pink squid popups and wafters and herb wafters, plus asked for some samples, looks really good quality bait and I know the guys know there some, been following gav and keeperboy since early blakes days. I'm particularly interested in the original koi rearer in the squid and the new squid bait, but it all looks great, the herb and Nutriplex🙂

Big respect for Martin. He’s been catching them for decades now.

Martin Clarke bagged his second 60lb plus UK carp in 12 nights which we think is probably a first. Also caught on The Herb.
Fair play to Martin, what a year he is having.

Just back from a mega trip to Sumbar, myself and nine Handcraft lads caught over 450 carp including:
1x 70lb
9x 60lb
20x 50lb
90x 40lb
170x 30lb
We went through 600kg of The Herb.

Hi lads.
Glad things are going well for you all.
I have just returned from Croatia and the fishing was incredible!
Many of our lads took the new sting pink, squids, deep c and herb boilies.
I have no idea how many carp we caught but it was hundreds!
You know it’s prolific when you return 40s and even 50s without photos.
As a group they are all loving the sting pinks and I had a feeling they would be popular!
The new hookbaits are coming along and we will be making more test batches this week hopefully.
Apologies for the lack of content on here but I’ll catch up in winter 🌧️😂😂
