Ethyl Alcohol based flavours work well in the cold , the type of flavour or smell of flavour is purely personal

Been looking for a zesty, pokey orangy/tangy concoction, but can´t find what i´m looking for.

Had some good results with fruity blends in hookbaits, especially pineapple + banana + scopex, but as water temps have dropped drastically, the more pokey, citrus blends tend to work better.

What does Hutchies Nouvelle Fizz & Autumn Harvest smell like ?
Are CC Moores Northern Specials more fruity or citrusy ?

I think it all depends on your nose
One day NS smell peachy and another pineapple
I think The hutchie ones smell like amoxyllian the stuff we had as kids when ill

High attract hookbaits the original specials is a hutchy autumn harvest and nouvelle fiz combo that has a orangey citrus smell to it. Ive got a pot for when the temp drops as I also do well citrus type pop ups in the winter. I've not actually used them yet so can't comment on if there any good tho

Could call John Baker for some top, free advise on flavours?

His range will take some beating

The original mulbs are good to but go soft very quick when in water for a few hours

I'm still a big fan of the northern specials, always have a pot in the bag and they are often the bait that picks up the bites.
