Used trents Shrimp for a couple of years great bait, moved over to the DNA SLK to utlise the liquids more also slightly cheaper & catching just as well both top baits IMO.

I could/can - it's what I've done for the last 2 years. Just would like the though of being able to pick a bag up here and there. Doesn't seem worth ordering a load at a time and having kilo's on the freezer for a dozen sessions.

I know exactly where you are coming from mate.
I done the same, I had a bait freezer but got rid due to limited time on the bank.

I now use shelflife boilies for convenience and it hasn't effected my catch rate at all.
Shelfies have come on a long way and personally I don't see the need to use freezer baits, I can take home what I don't use without worrying about refreezing or air drying etc

I use a fair bit of DNA get it at a fantastic price. I use frozen slk and S7 I like to mix them. Also odd 10 kilo of readymade baits.Like the mix of the two and adding some readymade adds another thing in breakdown time. Have confidence mate DNA do fantastic bait and there service is world class. Regarding sticky krill again good bait just pricey if you use alot. Have used trent baits shrimp and again first class. Unless you are buying Billy ******** multi coloured Ebay soya you will be fine.

Can't comment on Trent but can vouch for DNA. Used Bug a lot with good results.

Joss,
I agree with that, but at the same time the angler should understand the limitations and differences between attractor baits and food source baits.

A bit confusing now with anglers fishing over Spod mixes or groundbait where either will or should work, but if fishing boilies alone...

Doesn't have to be a good food source for them to keep eating it though.

A good angler will catch on the correct bait for the situation presented to them
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
