simple answer - No
Pop ups don't break down like bottom baits due to the make up of ingredients.

Been using the Squid and orange . Had some success but no different to any other . Saying that , it stinks, it catches ( All the bait does from there which is main objective) . It's a good price and they a Very nice people and very helpful . Wished they did more variety of baits . I think they do on request but only on bulk orders

A proven basemix don´t need no extras

This won't answer your question....all historic
The PPM was, and probably still is, a very good base. In the early 0's iirc it took the Kingsbury Water Park apart. At the time I was fishing the Catton Park syndicate and it was heavily Nutrabaits dominated, the lads from NB used to fish it. One of the members used that base with Mexican Onion and did very, very well...might have had garlic in it too, can't quite rem.
I haven't used QB since the mid late 0's but I have no reason to suspect it to be of any lessor quality seeing as Simon still owns it. I did ring him last year re a pellet & method he used to do, fish and blood pellet, which I had great results over, and a red nut and a plain nut method, they were very good also.
I know at the time he also supplied a lot of the match lads round there, they wouldn't use someone they didn't trust.
Maybe some of the ingredients aren't available as was back then but I'm sure they've been replaced with suitable alternatives.
Simon at QB used to have a load of pictures in the bait shed of fish that'd came out on it, it wasn't to be sniffed at, and iirc, the lad who rolled bait for him at the time on the premises went on to form his own bait company, can't rem what it's called, if it's still trading.

Used it back in the late 1990s, worked very well back then. I tried it again a few years back but wasn't as good, found it to soft and just wasn't the same.

Fished Catton Park in the 90s think it had only just started then, iirc I had a winter ticket.
Trying to remember the guys name, lived in the 50p house as we used to call it, I believe he's gone to the big lake in the sky now. Drive past it every now and then and wonder what's in there now?

That'll be Graham, sadly no longer with us. There's a nice memorial to him on the way round to the oak tree swim near the island.
I don't remember the winter ticket, might be before my time. I fished the night syndicate until it went full syndicate.

I've no idea I'm afraid, iirc there are forum members on here who do know, from a previous thread somewhere.
