Where abouts are you in the midlands buddy drop me a message if needed. Got around 25-30 flavours at mine your welcome to take samples and try them out see how you get on. All from various suppliers and a few custom ones from flavour houses.

I'm living in Sedgley/Gornal (by Dudley if that helps lol) thank you very much for the offer that would be brilliant. nice to talk to people who know more about all this than me as I feel I'm banging my head a lot with bait .

its not a side of the hobby that the people I know/fish with are interested in. most people just want to be bait testers now and get stuff a couple quid cheaper.

Nice memento for sure, but I wouldn't put it in a bait, it will be well past its best.

Personally I think you need to get the base mix bang on first, then worry about the flavour. It seems to be a thing to catch the carper more than the carp?
That said there are some great flavours out there. Anything oleoresin is usually a good bet. My vote though goes for a nice plum flavour on an HNV fishmeal base.
I've got my flavours from Catchit labs, who supply to bait companies. They do smaller bottles (50/100 ml) on eBay for around a fiver, and are extremely concentrated.Also available here - https://www.catchitlabs.co.uk/smaller-quantities/

I use JB Plumb and Ala Salar on the HMBB Trop at the moment for my bait.

the reason I want a play with a few new flavours is mainly for Pop ups/Wafters and 1 egg mixes
Are you sure?
