I normally use Baitworks which I personally feel is a fantastic bait and have confidence in! I also must add I really like knowing I support Mark and Mike by doing so. However with the increase cost of living in pretty much every aspect I'm looking at alternative options sadly! A good friend recommended CC moore which to be honest is a good price at £80 for 10kg including X2 hook bait tubs and free postage!
I was wondering what people's opinions of CC moore baits are sore if anyone had an alternative option for me to try?

Thanks in advance.

Just buy in bulk? That's what I do and you can get baitworks down to £7 a kilo

I'd rather use less of what I was confident in than use something else just because I could buy more tbh.

I'm not and never have been a CCM user but I l know plenty of people who have and I'd have complete confidence in it. Personally I use DNA which can also be had reasonably priced for say 10kg, worth a look at their offers.

Poachers Baits are excellent and are currently on offer. You can get 15Kg delivered for £6.50 a kilo, now that is a bargain. Freezer baits only though.

For years I only used CC Moores XXX and LS and thought it was a great bait. But I got a kg of live system recently and it seemed very hard and quite powdery, not how I remember. Maybe it has always been like that or maybe the recipe has changed I don't know, but it still seems to catch fish.

I'm only a couple of months back into carp fishing after more than 10 years away from the scene and I've had a a punt on Poachers with the 20% discount code - 3 tubs of popups, 1 tub of wafters and 5kg of TNM boillie delivered for £72. I've no idea how good it is, but feedback on here is positive.

If I was in your shoes though and already had loads of confidence in a bait, I'd just use a little less and balance the books that way.

I found bug disappointingly hard, not a slight on its catching ability as it catches loads, but I prefer a softer bait.

Never experienced that with any of the freezer bait from DNA

Did that come direct from DNA or a shop?

Just seen Oxford carp baits are offering 10% off currently as well.
Brilliant baits and Tom Stokes don't half catch some fish on it 👌
