Just had a look at the website, not much boillie on there and only one freezer bait and that's only in 12mm.

There is several types on the actual website you have to scroll right down past the gallery, and click on the bait section on the bottom..this is different from the ebay shop,which also has a lot of products on it

Off top of my head ..

Wonderberry
Smell
Ressi special
Gr8 bait
Liquids ,all sorts of pellets ,then there is the rebrander,and the end of production boxes,any probs or questions give the main main a ring,he's very ,very helpful,plus...a lot of Haiths ingredients are in his baits..

Give him a ring 👌👌

Gr8 bait sounds interesting, clearly an attempt to recreate Grange.......

A man that's come up with some very well known baits in the past.

Always enjoy popping in.

Yes I scrolled through and saw the larger sizes. I've read a bit about Marcus in the past and know he owns or owned Future Baits Ltd developing and rolling bait for other companies. Assume this is a separate company doing his own line.

That's right ,Mirage is Marcus's bait company..

I've used his King Crab,Ressi specials,and Rebrander range caught nicely on them all

I have,a huge bag of Wonderberry in the house,smells lovely,it's not mine though..

I've heard 1001 stories from staff who worked with him at the time on that one. There's about 46 versions a prequel and a sequel. I think the famous bait we're referring to was more of a collaboration BUT who knows? Unless you put a gun up to all there heads and scream Hail Mary you get diluted versions of events etc.

He's a nice enough chap to speak to I'm sure his stuff is alright, but every time I see his wonderberry I do think to myself “thank f*** I'm not a smurf, as the blue ones look like smurfs dang lies 👀😂

I have to be honest,I don't know.

Give them a ring for sure, I use shelf life ,with confidence as well as storage preference..

We have another superb bait company in this area ,that is very highy regarded,Cornwall baits and the Special Occy,speak to Nicksmith1 on here ,great angler,and chap..

The bait I had from his eBay store was shockingly bad god knows how long it had been sitting around
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole

Special occasion sounds interesting, can only find a fb page, no Web site or address.

Best thing to do is speak to Nick himself,..on here it's NickSmith 1...

Most likely one of the best carp anglers in Cornwall,catches from lakes with no fish..lol,no seriously, get in contact with him or Ian...

King Crab is rolled as a freezer bait then salted in the bag to give it an extended defrosted life.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
