Just seen that Tony from Premier baits is retiring and that's the end of premier , had some great baits off him over the years. Bet most off the lads who have fished years have had a fishmeal or 2 off him. Superaminos was my favourite.

That's a shame. Premier baits are part of Carp fishing history. More than definately in some way responsible for the huge gain in fish weights from the Early 90's onwards. They bought reasonably cheap HNV baits to the masses with there fishmeal high oil content baits..
My favorite was the original fish base mix with fish feed inducing oil with hutchies monster crab flavour.
London
Paris
Milan
Ramsgate
Long live premier baits

Will there be any chance of the base mixes being available or the recipes?

Aminos then Supermarinnos with salmon liver and kipper for me, like a bait on roids when they introduced their fish goo, their original L030, the proper thick stuff. Large dose of that please
I love using a bait that nobody else is
A friend of mine used the matrix for a long time too and caught from everywhere on it. All proper fish catchers and rolled to perfection every time, delivered fresh to the door and perfectly boiled, a soft squeeze could break them, just how I like my baits

Yes thanks Tony, had some great sessions on the tweaked matrix, he would even keep your recipe for use at later dates. Good both home and abroad.

Aminos with 10% robin red, tuna, n-butyric and salmon oil. That was a winner Tony put me on.
Real shame it seems they're wrapping things up, as they must be one of the longest running bait firms around with plenty of classics.

If he's still going to make base mixes perhaps ne can get someone else to roll it and do the heavy work. Or sell the company on?

Oi u lot
I am retiring, mostly, sorry.
The time has come to start taking it easy, so I am not taking anymore boilie orders. I am still making base mix, pops n stuff, so if you want, I can supply all the bits for you to make your own.
I am genuinely very sorry to all the customers who have been relying on me since the start of time, Prem time that is. But the day had to come, thanks for all the orders over the years.
There are many aspects of the job that I will miss, it can be very satisfying sorting people out, and I count myself very lucky that I have had a job that I could enjoy, most of the time.
I am probably not going to miss the physical work, of which there have been loads, having shifted a few kilo's over the years.
To do a decent bait job you need to give a f*ck, but then giving a f*ck it weighs on you a bit, and if you've done it since 1986 there probably comes a time to stop and for me its now.
Much love to you all
Tony
