I'm not one of these anglers who uses a bait because it's used by the korda boys or marketed heavily. I don't follow the crowd, I use something I have 100% confidence in and for a long time Cell was that bait for me!
Very interested to hear ABS egineered The Cell originally. Is that a fact?
I also use another custom mix from ABS and I honestly cannot stop catching fish on it. I know 100% nobody uses that mix on my club waters and its taking it apart, working right the way through the year.
I'm not saying after 1 fish I know everything I need to know about this bait as I think it'll take at least 1 full season for me to have that 100% confidence but the early signs are good and I am happy to leave The Cell at home to give this new bait a fair crack

how Did Mainline end up with cell if it was formulated by abs?

Cell was engineered by ABS? Never heard this one before.

Geoff owed Mainline a favour over something and put them onto the ingredients. So the rumour goes anyway.

Have heard it from Geoff directly. He introduced mainline to Brocacell as a favour.

Exactly what I was thinking. Something just doesn't seem right about this subject though.

Not really. Geoff put them onto an ingredient/ mix. They still had to formulate a bait from it that would roll through their machines etc. Plus how was he to know that korda would promote the hell out of it? I bet he's given loads of people the nod on stuff over the years and they've done nothing with it.
Now if he knew what it was gonna go on to do that would make it one hell of a feck up
Mind you I don't think any one of us would mind being a pound behind mr bowers. In fact I wouldn't mind being a million pound behind him. I'm sure he's not that bothered. Plus have you stopped to think where mainline might have bought their brococell from?

To be honest, I don't think or care for the politics or logistics of bait. Just surprised by the claim ABS made cell. Turns out that technically they didn't, but who are we to let facts spoil a good rumour

It's just an ingredient, it doesn't make every carp swim from one side of the lake to eat it! I love brocacel and yeasts but it's only a very small part of an effective bait. You have to hand it to mainline for how they promote their products and who they use to punt it. I do find it odd how they took all this time to bring out a fishmeal!! Geoff was around at just the right time and got hold of some really good fishmeals and lots of anglers went through Geoff to buy many things. If only he'd got Facebook in 1986😂😂😂😂

Mainline have used Fishmeal in their baits before though, haven't they?
There have been quite a lot of baits over the years that they have discontinued. I would find it hard to believe that none of those have been a Fishmeal based boilie?

What about baits like Fusion, NRG, proactive pineapple, CP1000 were these not Fishmeal based baits?
