I'm beginning to think liquids could be the biggest marketing con ever !

I'm tending to agree with you on that, included in the boilie mix maybe but adding it to the likes of SLK. S7 etc is probably a pointless waste of money, might as well just add some vegetable/hemp oil IMO


I blame Mark Holmes

Hi guys I'm thinking of trying out dna baits this Yr but I'm not really sure which one to go for, any ideas what one is a good all rounder?
I have been using sticky manilla and done OK I wasn't sure if to try the krill

You can order a sample pack and they will send every boilie they do for only a couple of pounds I've used s7 in the past found that to have some good results

I'm currently using their bait in shelf-life form, I mix the S7 & SLK together 12mm, soft with a good texture & colour.
Done me proud so far, use with confidence I'd say.

I did message dna and they suggested s7 as more of a all rounder may order the 5kg deal with liquid etc

I've used the S7 for the last 6-7 years maybe, I've tried all the other baits but always go back to the S7. Only time I change bait is through the warmer months to the SLK sort of June-September then I go back to the S7

Been on the shelflife baits since they came out a few years ago and haven't noticed any difference in catch rates. Them bring out the shelflife baits coincided with me losing freezer access so was convenient for me. I have a freezer now but only use that for particle as I'm happy with the shelflife baits so going to keep using them

Definitely S7 if you're only buying 5kg

SLK for me in the mild and warmer months. Done well on it for 5 years. Only downside is that I catch a fair few bream.

I have a winter bait I stick with and have no experience of SLK in colder months except for doing well on it in France at the end of March a few years ago.

Do you use any of the slk liquids or are you happy to use it straight from the bag? I've just ordered by first lot of slk and s7.

I bought nutta as my spring bait but never used it due to covid shut down.

SLK and S7 will catch straight from the bag , no liquids are required , despite me seeing lots of FB posts of lads soaking and preparing their boilie , they really don't need it in my opinion , (put a couple in a glass of water overnight and see !)if you do want to go down that route though the SLK liquid food really is special stuff

Straight from the bag for me also, I know anglers have their things they like to do or add but when buying bait you expect it to work and work well as is IMO.

Another vote for S7 from me, really happy with it. I would also recommend buying the slightly bigger bundles as the 10kg and especially the 20kg ones are amazing value.

I have my special booster that I have developed over the years and then finish them off with Krill powder mixed with some liver powder. I use this on any fishmeal, not just SLK, it's just a personal thing
Are you sure?
