Haha!!! That was funny to see that... Originally that was on the RMC/Cemex forum, and it was me that posed the original question on that thread, with Jamie replying.

Could not get a bite on the scopex and even the carp in my pond wouldn't touch it. Not so positive from me!
The Leney descendants from a very special venue in my pond love the Scopex Squid halved & crumbed up. They will clear every single crumb of it up. Also have some Priory & some VS fish in a raised holding pond & they also mop it up. They aren't keen on Mainline Hybrid or Sticky's Manilla though, both which a lot of people catch a lot of fish on. The fish in my pond are not fed on Boilie as a main food source either & are fed on a mixture of floating & sinking pellets as well as actual high protein beetles/bugs/mealworms/etc that are sold as “treats” at a local Japanese & English bred koi dealer.

I have said this before on here and been told that I was wrong (!) but a friend of mine used to use the freezer version a few years ago. He was a mega long stay angler and what he most liked about the bait was that it would last ages out of the freezer before turning. He used to hang it up in a tree at the start of his session in huge air dry bags and it would last a long, long time. He reckoned that it was a frozen shelf life....if that makes sense.
Used to have the exact same thing happen myself with the older frozen Nashbaits (WhiskyB, Formula One, The Sting, original Scopex Squid Liver, SSL+ Red & Amber Strawberry). They would last for ages in air dry bags before even starting to turn or show evidence of mould without going hard like you would expect an air dried freezer bait to do. This would even be experienced with baits I had rolled myself so I know they were not frozen shelf life's!

I fish an exclusive water in the colne Valley, there are lots of old school anglers there that make their own bait, in fact one quoted to me 'in order to be successful here you have to make your own bait...'
The two top rods last season were on scopex squid, I know that for a fact and they caught more than all the guard using their specials..
Morale of the story.... Fish like it! Stick it in the right place and it will catch as well as any bait out there.

All I can say is I struggled with it last year - changed bait and catch rate improved

The newer SS is not the same as the old SSL by a long shot. Texture is not the same nor colour shade. Ingredients have changed over the years & all baits will catch a hungry fish in the same way a broken clock is right twice a day (as long as only 12 hour clock used). Just use what you are confident in.

starting using this and quite impressed with it nice soft texture and a lingering smell when broken up in your hands etc.
had a couple not caught loads but time will tell

I've been using it for a couple of years now and if I blank I know that it's my fault, not the bait. Simple as that.
