Was Geoff involved with Bait78? They did a Mown Grass flavour as well, which seems a bit of a coincidence.
Had plenty of fish on both Green and Pink Zing.

Not sure essex andy. Did well on Mown grass with milk proteins basemix. Funny, often reminds me of good days when i smell freshly mown grass.

I had a bottle of GK's mown grass - smelt nice in a weird way, but never caught flip all on it. Now, Pink Zing, that was another story. Did really well on that combined with my own base. Condensed Milk was another winner. Scopex was king for me though.

GKs Dairy Cream was the one I'd love to have now. Tried a number of claimed ‘same-as' copies, nowhere near in smell or effectiveness. Sorry OP for the detour...

Hi Panander, quote from Geoff's bait catalogue 1988 " Red Zing ---- very hot savoury taste with a weird smell makes this a very different flavour. This blend is based on red peppers in an attempt to get close to Robin Red ". Whereas Shellfish, " If you don't get banned from the kitchen like one of my customer's did by his mum then this pungent mixture of crab and lobster can be very effective with either fish meals or milk proteins." I came to like it's aroma as much as the carp did. Didn't impress the wife or neighbors though. %0ml bottle £1.95 post free. 1lb bottle shellfish was one of his dearer baits along with the Zings. £13 plus £1 p and p. Inflation

I've just bought & received these 3 Geoff Kemps flavours from a ebay seller called 'Shortferry', from old stock, he's still got a few.
On the bottles it says bait4carp.com whom I've never heard of, quick Google search doesn't find much, I think its a foreign company, anyone dealt with these or Shortferry before?
The bottles don't have any instructions, anyone know how many ml per kilo for Geoff Kemps 1, Juicy Plum, 2, Peanut & Tigernut syrup and 3, Rosehip?
Thanks.
Ps the 3 100ml bottles cost £19.98 Inc delivery.

Yes. They're genuine. Many years before Geoff did a few bits with CC Moore, he released a few of the old flavours via the Web through Shortferry. The ones on Ebay recently are the last of that batch that I suspect were sitting in the back of a warehouse and had been forgotten.

Strangely enough I bought a bottle of green zing from short ferry angling stored in my bait fridge, remembering my success on this in the 80's across a number of waters I made a one egg mix of cork ball hook baits that smell fantastic. I intend to use them as single hookbaits in the spring hopefully with the success previously had
Juicy Plum 5ml per six eggs, thank me later

Thanks for confirming, gives me more confidence, and your right, they are advertised as old stock, the paper stickers on bottle are worn from being stored.
I'm so glad they are original and for under £20 for 3 x 100l bottles inc delivery is absolute bargain, Peanut & Tiger syrup sold out, they have Lush Coconut, Juicy Plum and Rosehip left, but not many.
Thanks Michael , 5ml it will be

Do you know how old they are though?

Says in the description that the amount in the bottles are approx as they are filled from a larger bottle. So I'd imagine the flavours are in 5L drums and are being separated

They sold out earlier today, but have more in stock now. Ordered a couple for specials 😍
