Yes it does have a bit of nut I think but more milks and Birdfood. Plus it has the cell yeasts that I like in a bait 👍

Seems a lot of people are moving off this bait after nothing but praise for the years after it was released. Is it the change in colour since the dye change or just people getting itchy feet and fancying a change?

Tell them where you're fishing and they'll be able to advise - and yes, they roll barrels

Not sure others are finding the same as me but its just not the producing like it was.I was confident in it on new waters and always felt I would catch unfortunately its just not happening now.It could be I'm **** (before someone says it) but imo it's just not the same

I've been the same with the S7.... since the colour change my confidence in it has dropped... i only really noticed it when i found a 5kg bag of the older red stuff in shelf life and caught with it.

Genuinely think it more me then the bait but I've certainly started to consider changings off it.

I moved to DNA from ABS and was a long term user of there Malarky, Belechan and choc nut baits. were always great for me and probably going to go back to them

DNA do mention the (Robin Red) colour change, due to DEFRA rules ( MADE BY HAITHS )

S7 details as per website

Crude Protein : 30.9%

Oil / Lipid : 11.25%

Ash : 6.2%

Salt / Sodium : 2.38%

Please note: There is now a slight colour change in the Secret 7 freezer and shelf-life baits due to the synthetic dye present in the original Red birdfood mix no longer allowed to be used in fish feed in accordance with regulations put in place by DEFRA. Consequently, the red dye now used in is completely natural, which is great, but it means it doesn't hold its colour in the bait as well as its synthetic predecessor.

Please feel rest assured, however, as Secret 7 is still the same top-quality red fishmeal it always has been and continues to catch thousands of carp in the UK and around the world.

Geoff puts brocacell in all the nut based baits.
Are you sure?
