This stuff has a very good reputation from what I have read.

In your opinion is it drastically different in quality to the cheaper base mixes out there at 6 quid a kilo ?

Thanks.

Yes

Thanks folks.

That's what I wanted to hear. Need an edge on the hard estate lake I am fishing.

I'm using his stuff at the minute. I'm new to bait rolling but his stuff rolled a dream first time. I spoke to JB at length about a bait and he couldn't help enough. He told me About the core ingredients and why they where included etc. Being new to rolling bait I honestly couldn't tell you if it's great or 2 quids worth But what I do have is confidence in JB having spoke to him about various things he really knows his stuff and that's good enough for me. I would use his stuff with confidence

Your confidently buying a high quality product.

You could buy the ingredients in and get a bait rolling company to roll it for you, the price per kg is getting towards shop prices (not the cheap stuff!) but you'll have ultra high quality bait you can rely on.

Very good stuff that mr baker produces. Proper basemix with good ingredients, wish more companies would take note.

Had some good advice from Mr Baker, in the past
Funny thing though ,,, going off topic abit, but JB strongly advocates the use of minute levels of flavour, as his flavours are very strong, both for feed & hookbaits. Max 1.5 - 2ml was recommended, but i decided to do 2 batches of popups, one at the recommended flavour level, and the other with 5X times the recommended dosage

Fished side by side, since the start of the season, results so far :-

1X flavour level = 5% catch rate
5X flavour level = 95% catch rate

Carp in this lake are known to respond better to over - flavoured

I would not hesitate to recommend John Baker bait.

I emailed him and described the lake I fish, the stock, and what most people do, and he emailed me back with advice re base mix and flavour combinations which worked really well. His gear isn't cheap, but he doesn't advocate the use of large quantities, so it's a cost effective choice at the end of the day.

Wow ... that is a bit of a interesting preference!
But his flavour/attractors are top notch

I think I will give his bio shellfish mix ago.

Luckily for me he is based 30 minutes away which has got to be better than buying from a shop that could have low turnover of stock.

Been mixing his flavours for a while now. I love using his Dairy Cream as a base when making a creamy flavour mix.

I have also mixed a flavour called Craba Salar, guess what is in that lol.

Nice gear but well over-priced IMO

Milky1 is the one for me! That stuff is pure dynamite and his plum is the best around imho.

I am yet to have a play with Milky 1. What is the difference between that and Dairy Cream?
