Hi All,

Any users of this bait firm? I think it's run by Kenny Gates... in Essex

Not a great deal online I can see of them.

Cheers

very good bait.
A good friend of mine uses this, over ABS.

In reply to Post #1
I've heard good things about them but no personal experience.

Been featured on a few of Kevin Ellis vids
If you can find which one it might give you a bit more of an insight.

Im sure you can collect only. lots of people using it, some big names as well im told. By what Ive seen of the couple of baits ive seen, there good quality, older types of baits.

A mate has done really well on the red birdfood bait they do, its like a bun spice flavour, caught very well through the winter on it. Whooped me, anyway

No online presence and no delivery but I hear it is available through Essex Angling. Pretty sure it's what Steve Alcott uses which would be enough to give me confidence in it.

You can order on line from county ? angling in hornchurch, collection on Saturday morning only as they are rolling all week unless you make different arrangements.
If you are into bait and want learn about what you are using go down on a Saturday morning and have a chat and a cup of tea with kenny top bloke who really knows what hes on about, you also might be surprised who you bump into down there.

Nice 1

I have heard nothing but good things about the bait and the bait maker. I shall be buying Asylum myself once freezer space allows.

In reply to Post #12
Did you ring him ken ?

In reply to Post #13
Going to, mate. Still got a bit of stock to get rid of.

the Wonka is a killer winter bait

In reply to Post #10
It must be county angling. Only tackle shop in Hornchurch

What no Nutrabaits or Haiths Ken
The Ravens have left the tower

Kenny's Receptor Marine (Fish Meal) bait was really rated by my close friend, who hasn't used mainline or ABS since.

In reply to Post #17
The bait I fancy has Robin Red in it so I am still using Haith's up to a point...as for Nutrabaits, well, my mate is no longer associated so the one of the best bait buffs of his or any others' generation is no longer there to make the great baits I used to use. So yes, the Raven (Bill) has left the Tower (Nutrabaits).

In reply to Post #19
So trigga, blue mussel etc. is only good if Bill is around?

In reply to Post #20
or possibly got it free and now has to pay for it ??

In reply to Post #20
it's called loyalty to a good friend. You probably won't understand that

In reply to Post #22
not answering the question... is trigga still one of the best baits or not?

In reply to Post #23
I have no idea...

In reply to Post #24
It is funny how in last few years we questioned quality few times and got answers like (to quote): "Can you prove this? If not I suggest you put up or shut up." .... it is funny how thing turn around sometimes

In reply to Post #25
I haven't a clue what your post is about. Perhaps you'd like to take this to PM?

In reply to Post #26
no need, tnx I guess it was lost in translation

In reply to Post #27
Bait Asylum's Receptor red, is the go too Winter seed bait. Incredible track record and a few big names now using it successfully.

I saw a yellow/red seed bait there which smelled very carpy and his receptor Marine, stinks of some sort of Salmon. big summer bait.

pop in on a Saturday, always a few friendly faces in there.

In reply to Post #28
I've used the Marine Receptor in freezing conditions and done really well ,had some very big fish .Have used most of his baits and had good results on all of them.

In reply to Post #28
Im going to pop down there tomorrow and see what its like

In reply to Post #30
Has anyone got a telephone number for Asylum. PM if prefered

Cheers

In reply to Post #16
Essex angling in Greys was selling it last time I was in there .

In reply to Post #32
It did seem like a quality bait but would take a lot to get me off the S7 .

Any idea if they make shelf life baits

In reply to Post #34
Nope freezer only mate

ken made me a part preserved bait for a French trip last year but you have to put an order in for it.

Anyone used his nut mix?

do they have a f/book page to get an idear of there products

In reply to Post #38
no facebook yet, there just to busy rolling decent bait. they want a FB presence but there just to busy actually rolling to keep up.

great bait though

Anyone know what they charge?

Check out Kevin Ellis's videos on YouTube. He has done several videos where he visits their unit.
Have no doubt it's a well put together bait by just listening to they guy talk. Comes across very passionate about making bait. Very honest on where he buys some of his ingredients. I know he exports some ingredients himself as well as buying some ingredients from Mr Bowers.

In reply to Post #40
£8 a kilo for the fishmeal / RRS and I think the nut was slightly cheaper @ £7.50 a kilo

In reply to Post #43
Cheers Apps

Best bet is to contact the tackle shop to buy the bait, he only sells bait on a Saturday morning and if you haven't ordered any he keeps very little if any in stock.

In reply to Post #45
theres always freezer stock for walk in customers. Yes, it is easier to pre-order, but generally, if you visited and wanted 10-20kg, or groundbait, or pop ups or just a cup of tea and bait chat.

Pop in and say hi. theres usually a few anglers in there. It was a very pleasant morning when I went there the first time. very welcoming.

In reply to Post #46
Not so sure he has time to roll apart from ordered stuff at the minute mate

In reply to Post #47
Does he no longer do the Red Seedmix Receptor bait?

In reply to Post #48
Receptor red is still available. My mate bought a load this weekend.

In reply to Post #49
Poms - what is it like? Cant find anything really about it.
Used to love Enervite back some years.......

In reply to Post #50
I've used the spice for awhile and I'd say very similar to the old enervite in terms of looks and smell.. Very good all year round bait imho
