I have been on this forum a week, having looked at many feeds over the last year or two, and found them useful, so wanted to offer something back. I have used Mainline, CC Moore, Sticky, and many other baits but like the original question (asking for bait recommendations), and when I did my research, tested some baits and spoke to friends and feel have found something I like and don't see changing from I will happy put their name forward for others to look at, because that is their decision.
I appreciate I have made two comments and they are both about bait, and yes I use theirs, but the majority of feeds I look at I don't have anything constructive to add, let alone bi+ch about or sl@g off. But when I can be useful or make a useful comment to a feed question asked, that feel I have a valid opinion on, I will answer.
I don't see you launching into the multiple RG bait recommendations or the others. It is only an opinion from experience, and this is a forum for sharing knowledge and experience, if I'm not mistaken.

I wouldn't comment on RG as I've never even seen their bait. I make my own and have done for 35 odd years. My comment related to your very first two posts reading little more than adverts... It was no comment about the actual bait itself, as again I've never seen it.
You want a rec? Of all the baits that I've seen in recent years, in my view, the best (and closest to a home made fish based mix) is Hot Shrimp by Aqua. Soft, pungent and actually tastes of fish products.
I recently came across a friend using shelf like Sticky Krill and struggling. The bait was like concrete, and if it had more than 20% fishmeal/krill I'd be amazed. Really bland taste.

If my comments were out of context I'd expect them to come across as adverts. I accept my first two were about the bait I like, which the feed was asking.
I will have a look at your recommendation, thanks, as this os the reason I'm on here is for info and genuine opinions on products, cust service, etc.. not to be accused.
I agree with you re the sticky krill shelf life and I threw most of a bag out I couldn't bring myself to use it.

I'm not sure if they've improved at all from the start but two famous anglers who've had zero to do with bait before starting up a company will always get skeptics.
I was confused by their advert for adding water soluble oils to baits as well 😂
If it catches fish it catches fish, although a friend said they sold off their machinery last year? I can't verify that personally.
I refuse to believe there is anything being rolled in this country that won't catch fish as semo soya and maize baits catch plenty. Famous companies get recommended all the time on here who are known to make baits Mosty of maize and bread crumb.
That in of itself means poor baits get recommended frequently. The downside to this is the property well formulated baits made by people with knowledge and experience are designed not only to promote growth health and recovery in fish but also breaking down / being a nutritive option for other water life meaning it's not going rancid on the bottom too.
You've recommended the same company and quoted prices and sounded exactly like a salesman in your first two posts so you can see where some would assume it's a spam account. Rightly or wrongly. It does happen on here so some may be pre conditioned to assume. Time will tel etc. Welcome.

always a difficult one when asking bait recommendations, as people choose their bait for many reasons, plus you will get that many different opinions, it can fry ones head further.
i found a company 15 odd years ago and i still use their baits today. One reason, i trust them and their products, actually two, ive caught rather a lot of fish on their baits, so im happy

sometimes a change can be a bit of fun though.
I thought you said you'd stopped angling? or am I confusing you with someone else again ( wouldn't be the first time to be fair lol )

Jamie I see your in Norfolk and big fish baits are local to you .
Lee Moore is the owner and a really nice guy .
Might be worth contacting him and see what he can do for you .
I have no affiliation with the company just heard lots of good things about Lee and his baits.

I've just looked at the Proper Carp website based on your comment Mozzi.
I quote..... 'A water soluble fish oil high in amino acids".
Oh dear.

i don't fish anywhere as much as i used too, i'm far too busy with my two business and the spare time i have, i much prefer to spend with my Son. When i do, i don't feel the need to say anything these days.
Despite how often one fishes is irrelevant really, i've always used and always will use the firm i have for many years. i dont use it when fly fishing

You will get loads of suggestions and most will be good. Not many bad baits made now they would go bust. Work out how much you use and intend to use as this can effect the cost. I get through around sixty kilos a year plus pellets. I use DNA mix Slk and S7. If I was fishing day ticket waters I would probably swop for the Cell or stickies Krill. Dont rule out Trent Baits especially their shellfish liver.
