As per thread title

Asking this for myself and hopefully it will be helpful to others.

Anyone got any websites or places to get mega cheap bait from? Bulk boilies do some reasonable deals.

Best place is usually direct from the supplier themselves thus cutting out the middle man but this can be easier said than done and is sometimes dependant on quantities bought on whether they will deal direct or who you know.

It's a hard question to answer as different shops/sites do deals on different brands there is no definitive answer. If you have your eye on a 'shop' brand that do not deal direct ask your local, shop, at least you will save on postage

There's an old cheap bait sticky thread, hasn't been touched in a while but might be useful.

Define mega cheap

Best bet would be go to someone like Geoff bowers tell him how much you want to spend and quantity and see what he can do for you.

Cheapest you will get from ABS is about £5.50 a kilo for their regular baits. If you buy a tonne.😄
What do you consider to be cheap as you didn't say? DNA and Trent Baits do 50kg deals for approx £6 a kilo.

Yeah guys, mega cheap was quite ambiguous.

Let me cast this out there as a starting point. The Krill shelf life £37.50 on 5kg bags for 50 kg worth. Anyone best that?

Urban baits nutcracker £35 for 5kg for 50kg deal.

I'm only interested in shelf life as they don't go off like freezer baits do.

Did fancy getting Geoff's OG maple/nut bait, but that's not going to be £5.50 a kg. Good bait by all accounts.

No. It's a version of Geoff's bait with added hovis. Which is ironic cause I think that hovis used to say “with nought taken out”

DNA is always available on deals. I think I've paid about £6 a kilo delivered every time I've ordered

Essential b5 is around that price if you go direct and buy enough of it.

Lol.

I think Terry has dropped the bread from what I can make out. You can actually put it out now with a stick without it blowing up. To be honest, I do prefer it with hovis as it was so easy to break apart and mash up. Pain in the arris to crumb up now. I've used bread in loads of my own mixes, nothing wrong with bread, it's a fantastic ingredient, carps love the stuff. I do get why people would get p issed as it's a relatively cheap ingredient

Not true.

Go into the ABS shop in Sandwich and it's £5 a kg.

Where's best place to get a good deal on either Nash Scopex Squid or CCMoore Live System?
