Been looking at the stabilised version myself, much difference between the freezer and shelf life ? Seems like a lot of people still rate it 👍

I have said this before on here and been told that I was wrong (!) but a friend of mine used to use the freezer version a few years ago. He was a mega long stay angler and what he most liked about the bait was that it would last ages out of the freezer before turning. He used to hang it up in a tree at the start of his session in huge air dry bags and it would last a long, long time. He reckoned that it was a frozen shelf life....if that makes sense.
What appealed to him actually put me off the bait. He caught on it though to be fair.

Not Scopex Squid but In late 90's our lake used to see a lot of Tangee Squid and the frozen stuff was nothing like the shelf life.
The shelf life used to come with a small packet of pop ups, they were rubbish!

Bait will last months like that anyway, it's called air drying! It's the moisture which let's a bait "turn", no moisture, no mould

There was the S mix and and All season S mix, pending in which was used
I have about 30kg in the shed now, and as time moves on I do question the base mix. S mix used to be nearly £80 for 7.5kg a long time ago, don't get me wrong Nash have some serious buying power and reading the ingredients on the bag I don't think it's the same, happy to be wrong
A long time ago I saw the list of ingredients in the S Mix when people were debating the blokes name who created it, can't remember obviously now but I don't think it rings true with new bait?

No, not Gary Bayes, with the base mix, I believe he found and added the Squid addition to an already proven and successful base mix that was somebody else's recipe, could be wrong?
Can't remember, it was a long time ago I got told, I believe Nash got the recipe from a successful carper at the time, the rest they say is history. I'm sure somebody can clarify this and knows the blokes name, also the ingredients?
Edit - Since I am sat on my arse doing nothing I though I would have a Google and see f I could find the recipe. Came across this from Jamie Clossick in 2007:
I heard a great story once from Dave Levy about Kevin Nash on holiday somewhere on a boat trip fishing where one guy was catching more than anyone else for no apparent reason.
Upon questioning the man it turned out that he was using his own squid for bait which kevin got hold of and sent away for testing. It turned out to be far richer in aminos than any other squid and only exists in the specific place where this guy lived so kevin sourced it and imports it from there.
I don't know how true it is but you can't argue against the fact that the Nash S mix has been probably the most succesful bait in recent years....
I had heard a similar thing and the blokes name
Ah well, we all know the carpworld holds a lot of bollox. There will be some truth somewhere along the line
Another Edit, let's hope we get back to work soon!
Checked the ingredients, no calcium cassinate listed in the new stuff, believe it used to have this in it

It was probably Amber Attractor which Shaun Harrison had a hand in. And Bayes was using the Scopex R liver flavour combo on that before the squid came about .
AS squid had more milk pro (30# A casein, Skimmed milk, Whey protein) than the S mix and the Monster Pursuit used to have Calc Caseinate in so would/ should have been in the Monster squid
