The first Nut type bait I remember was by Carp Company. Remember going round to one of the owners houses in Worcester park Surrey with a mate who was picking up some mixes and flavours of him. Remember being shown a freezer full of a coconut flavour nut mix for a campaign on Hairfield they were embarking on. This must of been early nineties.
Also remember Chris Haswell. Buttcracker, Carpbuster baits bringing out a nut bait around about the same time.

Richworth produced a Tiger Nut bait in the early 90's. It was orange in colour. I used this alongside their Condensed Milk bait that was smashing Harefield at the time.

I have been using MC from ABS for some time but am looking for an alternative but similar mix, not sure if TNM fits that bill or not?. I have never heard of them so could you confirm what/who so I can take a look please?
Been disappointed with the last couple of frozen batches of MC from ABS, inconsistent bollies, pop ups smell great at day one but not for long after when compared to others and the glug goes rancid far to quickly in my humble opinion.
Just my own experience
Thanks.

Pretty sure Geoff Kemp had a nut mix in the mid 80's.

I would have thought Crafty Catchers Peanut Pro was one of the first nut based baits, piggybacking of the back of the craze for peanuts in the early 80's. Peanut meal and creamy peanut butter smell.

I would of thought and I will stand corrected. It would of been more than likely a peanut flavour on a fairly simple Soya Semo type base mix in line with most early readymade.

I'm pretty sure it was fairly crumbly with tiny pieces of crushed peanut in it, Based on the bait Andy Little used on Savay in 81, without the maple flavour and brown sugar.

The late Alan Taylor had a nut based boilie out under Whacker Catcher Baits. This was around 1990. Caught quite a few on it but was a really soft bait. Moved onto Carp Company nut mix after that.
If memory serves me correctly, the nut ingredient was packaged separately from the base mix.

Lol. Wasn't he using 50/50 casein and semo and then ran out of casein so just used semo and caught loads on it? Shows you what we know about bait really. I guess the catches on it were fairly short lived though

Yes he did use a proper Casein based bait initially, but due to the amount of bait he was using, to keep using the Casein was too costly, so he dropped the Casein for the cheaper Semolina. Still caught loads.
