Blimey, so I wonder why they never delved into the Fishmeal scene?
It does make me think though that perhaps this is intended. It's fair to say that they have possibly been the most successful mainstream bait company over the past two decades, and they have achieved this with non Fishmeal baits!

Cost. Simple as that. Quality fishmeals are properly expensive and vary season to season. Mainline made millions without using any. Actually quite clever.
*** please note this is the highest praise I've ever given mainline **** I have no intention of ever repeating it and I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone

Do you think devout Fishmeal users have been missing the trick slightly by using a Fishmeal bait?

Mmmmm. All this bait knowledge. Yet no knows that Activ-8 has fishmeal in it? Really? It's a fishmeal based bait.
Fishmeal is not the be all and end all. It never has been.
Sorry to butt in, as you were anyway. A8 has always been a fishmeal though...

one of mainline original mixes was a Pro-fish, they had a GLM mix ( was a good bait) and there's liver and marine still going and think NRG was originally a milk protein/ carb type mix (90's) which disappeared then the other NRG came out

Mainline state that activate is not a fishmeal
I couldn't see any in it when my friends rolled it when it first came out. My friend rolled for mainline for 15 years and he always told me it was not fishmeal either
Just saying

Interesting reading this, first thing I used to do with all going baits is find them in the shop and understand what the the ingredients were.
Activ 8 had fishmeal and pretty basic claimed ingredients really, which used to surprise me really, very basic, I used to to thing the activator was the key...
If you look at a lot of mainline mixes they ain't exacltey ooozing top quality ingredients, so what's doing the business...

The Link is said to be fishmeal based:

The link is a fishmeal
Active 8 was classed as a non fishmeal and non bird food type bait. It must be on some website or forum somewhere. Oh well off to work now.......got lots of fishmeal to play with and some nuts and bird foods 😉

I'd be very careful telling people you play with nuts at work, they might get the wrong idea.

It is on a website or forum. You wrote it not long ago on here. Your 'mate' told you, you said there in those posts. If your 'mate' rolled Mainline Activ-8 for 15 years, and did not know that there is fishmeal in there... Well, that's hard to understand. It's easy to understand how someone who had only smelt the bait completed, might think that. The activator hums. But anyone with any knowledge of bait, whom has put eggs near Activ-8 base mix... They know that it is a fishmeal.
We roll our baits with no liquids in. The Activ-8 base mix is a fishmeal. It has a proportion of fishmeal in there, without any question. No one has ever told me that, it's just very plain to see. Do you want me to actually send you a bag of Activ-8 base mix? You can have a smell yourself. Then come back and tell me again, that your mate, and the internet says that it is not a fishmeal?

Just don't want to start WW3 Jamie. But facts are facts. And rubbish is rubbish. Carp fishing bait has become so tribal. Whispers, hearsay, rumour. Like life, the only ones needing to make these rumours up and talk about everyone else... Are those ones that actually need to. That's how carp fishing works. Bait is so tribal it's unreal, and getting worse.
