Hello, thinking of switching over to DNA baits, like the look of the SLK, I'm based in essex and usually go to my local bait supplier to pick up fresh but they are shutting up shop, what is dna delivery service like? Cheers

As mentioned delivery is excellent..usually, maybe give them a ring to see what is happening at the moment. As for the SLK

Superb bait and great service, always arrives within a few days of ordering,, SLK has caught me numerous fish as has Switch. I usually take advantage of the post free deals and mix the two baits.

Both are good baits. I would say s7 has more of a following

If its any help I've always used a mix of the 2 lol 75% S7 25%slk using either on the hook or a popup from their range and not found either more consistent for bites although the slk has seemed to pick out the bigger fish.

I've not used the switch yet, was gonna give it ago over winter but seemed to be doing well on single boosted S7 corker popups over particles so didn't bother in the end.

And made less than 10 miles away from me.

K Stim is perfect accompaniment for SLK. Goes really well with the natural attractors in SLK and like the SLK liquid food just screams fish. Found its absorption optimum with the freezer bait applying literally just as they've defrosted.
Again another one who fishes a S7/SLK mix although percentages vary depending on time of year
If you're after multiple bites S7 is the one but targeting specific fish I've always used SLK

I have purchased some bait from them, delivery was nice & prompt.
Went for a mix of S7 & SLK which I'll use mixed [ shelf-life ], the bait seems very nice.

I'm expecting an order of SLK today myself - they use DPD and comms is excellent, Jason responded to my queries almost immediately. I even know that a fella called darren is delivering it between 12:00-13-00 today .

Heard very good things about this bait, and wanted a change. Was using my own tweak on BM1 until the season before last but just never seem to find the time to make it these days. Switched to KSC last year - did OK on it but to be fair my fishing has taken a bit of a back seat. I ordered all of the samples from DNA, and very nearly went for the S7, but finally came down to the fact SLK is totally natural - or at least the attractors are only food-source.

Ive just cleared out my freezer to make room for the SLK and have about 10K of various left over tweaks of BM1 going back a few years - other than looking a bit freezer burnt do you recon it'll be ok ? ...was thinking of throwing it into a local park lake when I take my daily exercise - other than that it'll just go in the bin - mind you my dog's got a little excited to see it - she's a bit partial to the odd boilie

Little story for you..

I have had some SLK in the freezer since Xmas and with one thing or another haven't used it yet but....during the lockdown I ran out of the usual food for my pond (goldfish, carp, koi, the usual suspects) so thought I'd use some of the bait I had in the freezer.

So, first of all I had some Live System, used a chopper to break it all up and threw it in, after an initial investigation and sampling it took them 24 hours to clear it up. Next, Blake's Baits MC Nut (or whatever it's called) same result.

Then all I had left was the SLK so tried that..........result being the whole lot was gone within an hour

I know what I'll be using this season
