Is it junk?
Ive had a 5kg bag of coconut cream years ago but had no joy on it, most recently had a 5kg bag of candy nut, had a couple on the matching pop ups, cant say i really gave either a fair chance tho
Ive been rolling my own for the last 3 yrs but cant be bothered anymore and want something to throw in with a spod mix thats cheap and does the job on a really tricky lake i plan to fish
I was looking at either candy nut or hot tuna
Anyone use any of the range at all?

It's ok to be used in a black widow for hunting. Personally I think it's a terrible bait. Specially on the more tricky lakes you mention. Maybe on a runs lake, but it's not a bait id trust for them
To come back for over and over.

Considering it's always on sale buy 2 get one free it works out at about £5 a kilo, assume 50% margin for the retailer, Nash must be selling it for about £2.50 a kilo and still making a profit. I'd say it's probably not great.

Can't be much worse than some of the baits people buy “direct” at £5-6 per kilo - especially allowing for gashes buying power.....

£6 a kilo should buy you a decent bait if bought in bulk from a decent bait maker.

I have to say although I make my own baits I did extremely well on the coconut cream. This wasn't on a runs water by anymeans and the carp that lived it had been there years. The slightest distturbance on the bank saw them bolting for cover. They were very very wary to say the least but I caught a lot of them on a small coconut cream presented on a semi-stiff hinge rig. Tried other baits but nothing was as good as the cc. I think cc changed for a bit as it used to pure white, then it had little yellow flecks in it (egg food??) and my catch rate changed down a gear.
Has anybody brought a bag recently and know if the little yellow flecks are still in them?

For literally a few more quid you can get much better quality readymades, DNA for example

I think it was more a factor of convience for me as I don't have much freezer space so wasy easy to pop into my local takle shop and pick up a bag of shelfies. The coconut cream caught well and continued to do over a couple of seasons. I could well have spent a bit more on a quality bait but it worked for me and the carp were happy to eat it. They were pooping it in the landing net so I knew they were on it well.

Their Monster Crab is good. I add omega 6 to it... cut a piece of the tsblet and then pour it over... Their MC pop ups is also a winner... Gets into the monster grassys... What also works for me is cut the pop ups into small fine pieces and add them into a stick mix. The color and taste if they pass by will grab their attention. it will float to the super layer and leave your stick mix down below... another great dimention to try for fishing...
Another if used that works well in the river systems if noticed is the pineapple crush... have to say I soak it in favouring and it yields results... the color of the bait and the scent is what I believe draws the fish in.... mate of mine uses coconut cream and seemed to get some results on it as well. Hence he adds corn, tigers and all nits and Bob's to the mix he never fished it on its own. So I can't say it's that good as if not seen it as a stand alone bait though.... the other baits in the instant range I can not comment cause if not used them...
Oh and if had the pineapple in the USA... and it caught there for me as well... Hope it can help your quest pal..
Cheers

I tried some of the pink strawberry ones...bought 2x 2 and a half kilo bags and got another 2 and a half kilo free...so had 7 and a half kilo of the stuff as back-up bait for France...caught sod all in France or here....smells nice and my dog thought so too, so I gave her one..she just swallowed it and was asking for another...I just gave her the one....anyway next morning my dog took a s**t on the lawn and there it was!..perched on top of the turd AND still pink and whole!....so if my dogs stomach acid doesn't affect those rock hard marbles then how is a carp gonna digest them!

It's used because it's readily available and the Name. It's a poor high profit bait. As mentioned you can source far better baits.

That's mental. You've gotta wonder how any lake owner would allow a bait like that to go into their water.

Thanks guys, think I'll leave it, just got tempted by the price but think I'll go for one of the 20kg deals available elsewhere
