I'm now having to look at new bait. As the bait company I used has gone into retirement. I have been looking at the sticky baits. The krill. I was just wondering if there baits are any good ? I have used the pellets before and seems to be okay. But not shore about the boiled what your guys thort on there baits

Have been using the Krill bait products since they came out. Was looking for a good fishmeal bait at the time. This is not the cheapest but it is top notch and catches everywhere it is used. Use with absolute confidence at any time of year.

I was looking at using the freezer bait rather than shelf life ones. Was going to have a look around and see what deals I could get on it if I brought it in bulk

It's not too early to sing it's praises if you've seen first hand what its been catching.

Put it this way it's made me wonder if my switch on to dna this year was such a good idea.

These days even shelflifes are very good quality, krill though In shelf life smells more sweet than fishy to me

Yes and it doesn't take long for them to break their own laws. This one managed it in his own post.

I've used krill all year round for the last 3/4 years now and have full confidence in the whole range, definitely won't be changing anytime soon

Not personally but my mate mixes it in with other baits. It seemed ok to me, but not ok enough that I'd pick it over krill or even manilla.

If I were a betting man I'd say that's the one they will discontinue when the new bait gets released.

I thought that one had finished years ago. I dabbled with it a few years back, was OK but I was getting it off a friend of a friend then he went back to carp company

I found a bag of vortex+ in a clear out at the start of the year, no idea when I bought them. Tried them on an admittedly easy water but had my best session in years on them. No idea if it was due to the bait or despite of it but would give it a crack agin if I couldn't get hold of my usual stuff.

Considering the new krill active is a freezer bait I have had some out the freezer in the bag for the last few weeks and it has not changed its appearance.

And they still sell the old vortex get intouch with the approach fishery they sell it £30 for 5 kg

Does anybody still use their Bloodworm boilies? I think it's only available in shelflife but bloodworm was certainly the big fad for awhile before Krill gained popularity.
