1 someone selling flavours for a living saying buying old flavours from ebay is pointless isn't exactly a surprise
2 Terry Hearn is a big fan of using old hutchy flavours in his hookbaits and he seems to catch a few

Got to say, find this thread a tad hypocritical Gerry. You're normally the 1st to say if people want it that's up to them, not looking for a issue, just a general observation over many years like you on the forum.

well as the saying goes you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink
it was a post to try and stop people wasting their hard earned cash on stuff thats mostly oxidised and nothing like it was when it was produced and pay ****ing silly prices for it
I have huge respect for John Baker who is one of if not the best bait experts around I know he and Hutchy used to help each other out and when John says something its normally based on solid facts
now its entirely up to you what you spend your money on if you want to pay silly money for **** crack on
oh and he makes very interesting videos too check this one out

I wouldn't drink a 20 year old bottle of beer. Nor would I spend any money on 20 year old flavours.

Someone was wanting £350 for an old bottle of hutch flavour.
Deluded much not if someone bought it.

I started watching that Gerry but having turned the sound to Max on my tv it was still hard to hear what he said so I turned it off

I dont believe everyone is buying these flavours to use. I think theres probably people who collect old deadstock flavours for sentimental reason. Why they would pay upwards of £400 pounds for a bottle I dont no. There money there choice I suppose.
Seems to be a few companys springing up selling pop ups made using old deadstock flavours. Why anyone would think something 15- 20 years past it's best is a better catcher of fish than a bait made with fresh ingredients needs to give there head a wobble. Or again is it purely a nostalgic thing. Or a sense of one up man ship on the guy fishing next door that your using something he is more than likely not.
Why do some anglers believe flavours produced back in the day are so much more effective than what's available today. I no that some of the ingredients found in these old flavours are no longer available but did they really make them flavours more effective.

I use a desktop pc but it does have speakers and I just use the volume control but your not the only one my mate watched it on a laptop and said he listened to it with his headphones plugged in as he found it quiet too

I used to use nouvelle fizz and autumn harvest a lot in the nineties as they were doing very well on the north west waters and also caught very well on them for a good number of years.
When i heard the flavours were no longer being made i did buy a couple of each but over time these have deteriorated a couple far worse than others to the point it is very obvious just by the smell, but baits made with these are no longer anywhere near as good as they once were. i would no longer choose them over some other hookbaits i have

Flavours and other liquids deteriorating has always been a problem even if kept in glass bottles.
I think some of us anglers cling onto these once highly rated liquids even if they are well past their best and many are brought for making hook baits which are then sold to the public.
A friend only a couple of weeks back found an old Rod Hutchinson Monster Crab flavour in a long forgotten cupboard, I mentioned that anglers were paying silly money for them nowadays, he fell about laughing, each to their own.
