Am using both The Bug and SLK. Slight preference is for SLK at the moment. Use with confidence.

Same for me great bait and good bait company too helpful when needed and I've just place a big order for coming year,I've heard a mix of bug and slk can be a good tactic

I've so much confidence in the bug I almost expect to catch when I go fishing. Absolute brilliant bait.

Been using The Bug last season and have used SLK in the past.
Moved onto the The Bug as I was getting plagued by small catfish on the lake I was fishing at the time. Put that down to the liver in the SLK, rightly or wrongly?
Had a good season on the The Bug last year. Will use it again this year (when I find a water) but would have no problem moving back onto SLK if required.

Didn't do too well with S7 myself but that could've just been the lake I was fishing.

Excellent baits. Don't disregard the switch, seems to be out of favour now everyone is on the bug but it's a brilliant bait all throughout the year

I was thinking about going on the s7 but everyone seems to recommend the bug. Are the shelf lifes as good as the freezer bait?

most definitely,I use the dumbells amd theyre nice and soft, I catty and spomb the dumbells out but I've also used 15s,18s and 22m and they went out in a stick fine.

I spoke to dna before the bug was out he recommended the s7 and slk but if you are confused speak to them on line through their website
I think as well their crayfish pellets and dumbbells are worth looking at also their liquid range is first class their baulk deals are good as well 4 x 1ltr liquids for £40 postage paid bargin

I'm sure it was on here that I'd heard the s7 had changed that's why I never chose to use it

i started on the s7,then got my hands on 20kg of dumbells in the bug,the bug is a creamy malty aroma and the fish love it,I fish it with dumbell wafters over the top...had some really good results.

Messaged DNA regarding my order and they said it will be out today or sent out on Monday as they do not send orders out over a weekend so there's no worries of it sitting in a warehouse for 2 days or so
