How much 'money' has been poured away over the years.
when we think it is past it's best use by date ( in our minds, back then ) and now it is worth.....
as much as £ cash flush/fools want to part with their money

Sting essential oil I have freshly made. I was told the flavour was actually just a blend of essential oils and I did have a bottle somewhere but I can't find it. This new sting is exactly the same as the little 20ml bottles nash sold 15 years or so ago (maybe less)

Shaun Harrison came up with the sting oil, he spoke about it on one of his interviews on our podcast.
It is definitely a blend of essential oils
I hope the peach didn't disappoint Keeperboy! That was a good one.

Scopex - caught my first 30 on baits flavoured with that - a 30 was a very special fish at that time... in fact, thinking back, scopex was a bloody tench magnet
The original was a great flavour, that and choco malt. Kemp's pink zing was another one I caught a lot of fish with, Premier's peach was another good 'un. But best ever? Minamino, which Kryston mugged everyone off with under the label of Ambio - used get mine from Boots for a fraction of the cost! Massive edge that stuff (and still is... shhhh...)

Sting oil sold in the little bottles was defo the essential oil blend from Shaun. Before that the sting flavour was sold in old fashioned square bottles and it was a pale pink colour. The confusion comes from the two different bottles as one was sold as a flavour yet the other called sting oil. Both smelt similar. I will see if I can find the two different bottles. I rated them both highly. As for the peach.......it smells lovely and is the right colour that it was originally...:::....that's a good start

Ahh interesting! I wasn't aware of the flavour version.

I was fishing at the weekend and an old friend came down to see me. He has a large number of old rod Hutchinson flavors, going right back to the Catchum days. I asked him to bring these down so that I could have a good smell of them in order to remind myself of the good old days. Almost without exception they smelled absolutely revolting, barely any resemblance of the old flavor. The best way of describing them would be is a combination of the old flavor mixed in with a large part of very old and very bad white wine! The only exception, for some reason, was Maple, which was still spot on....beautiful in fact. Heaven help anybody who is paying big money for this stuff!

I literally last week had a little old square Nash glass bottle of the sting essential oil get smashed. Had about half left in it. Kicked up a right stink as it was at the bottom of a big box

On a recent Korda podcast they had John Baker on and although he clearly stated that he wouldn't tell anybody how to spend their money he did ask them not to waste their money.
