Milky1 to my mind is the closest thing I have ever found to the original scopex (and probably with good reason as it was John who supplied Hutchy with the recipe one drunken night!).

Funny enough I remember seeing some fella mentioning this in RH group on FB a short time ago.

That JB Plum has been doing the business for a very long time
I've caught some good Barbel on his Frost & Flood mix in the past.
Interesting re: Milky 1

Ala salar and plum are brilliant. Ala salar is actually used in one of kennys asylum baits everyone rates so highly. Plum in a fishmeal is just fantastic. If it was easier to come by ready rolled I'd never use anything else

I bought a couple of bottles after reading on here how similar it is to the original scopex and, to my mind, it really isn't that similar. Mind you it's got to be 20 odd years since the proper scopex was available.
That being said, the Milky is a winner. A really good flavour, very strong, and it's the only synthetic flavour I now use. They like it!
Btw I didn't thing that John introduced scopex to Rod, I thought that was the Pukka Salmon or possibly Monster Crab I may be wrong on that mind as it's a long, long time ago!

I am all out of Plumb at the moment. But I do have a base mix I'd love to test it in. Maybe in autumn now.

Interesting. He is only charging what every other bait company is mainline-sticky etc. Fair enough you have to add a few eggs and roll it yourself. I think if you took JB base mix and mainline or sticky to someone who really knew there bait and asked what bait contains the best ingredients etc. I certainly don't think JB would be at the bottom of that list. Meanwhile mainline charging 15 quid a kilo in the shops. I think I'll stick with JB

Yes absolutely, I can't buy a bite of some super duper pop ups out they JB base mix and cork balls tempt them though.

Crab and Salmon
Crab and Salmon
I costed it at £9.50 for a kilo of mix plus labour
I've used JB for 25 years now and along with ABS they are the best in the business imho.

His Crab and Ala Salar @ a ratio of 65/35. Bloody reeks. I also mix it with a squid based liquid.

its quality bait made on a small scale and mixed by hand, i thinks its unfair to compare with mass produced bait from other manufacturers
