Regards to all.
I ordered and plan to make boilies with Catchit lab monster crab flavour. Has anyone used it and what are your experiences? 10 years ago I used an old Nash monster crab. I hope that the scent will be at least close to Nash flavour.
Tnx

The fella who runs Catchit used to be Nashys in house flavourist. So it should be a near match.

I preferred the original RH MC to all other versions, but must admit, that i prefer the Catchit Labs MC, to the current RH MC.

I got samples of catchits SSA and MC, but wasn't impressed with either tbh.
My tip would be to find a tackle shop that has a decent stock of the current Nutrabaits flavours, have a whiff of their Crab flavour and then buy every bottle you can lay your hands on

Lovely with a small dose of his plum. Mad combo in our minds but it works

Very expensive though! Last time I looked it was over £18 for 100ml bottle.

JB Monster Crab £18 for 100ml. Mega strong recommended up to 3ml per 6 eggs. Nutrabaits you recommend £9.99 for the same amount but recommended dosage up to 6ml 6 eggs so maybe the JB version isn't so expensive after all.

Worth every penny as the dosage level is very low, as stated below. A bottle will make a LOT of bait

You need to look at Qualitybaits one 50ml £5 100ml £9 250ml £20 Best not to open it in the house though.
Their Squid or Squid and Octopus is also as good as any and better than most.

Fair point, but having used both the JB and Nutrabaits versions, I've used both at inclusion rates of 2ml per mix with good results. I'm happy to use either, but I can get the Nutrabaits one easily off the shelf, whereas I've had to get the JB one posted, which I can't remember if postage was extra? That said, you won't go wrong with either, both very good versions. I can't vouch for the quality baits one though as I've not seen it.

Indeed, they are. Hutchie originals, too!

As per Sam at QB:

5-9 ml per kilo. Can be used neat on pop-ups.

The original from Hutchie was best at 6ml for 8 medium egg's (1 kilo dry mix) for me.

Alone or with 4ml of Monster Crab, it was a killer flavour

Perhaps if you had a less concentrated squid flavour you would be happier with it ?
