Chocolate malt apparently

So...... anyone using this? Any views on it in terms of effectiveness, how hard or soft it is, does it soften up a little or a lot?

Seems to be doing the business on my syndicate, not used it myself though but definitely a few catching on it

Bumping this, any long term reviews?

I used to use an insect meal bait a long time and it always performed well (from memory).

I'm looking for something decent that will not cost me a fortune and DNA's bundles keep appearing on my feed and work out 20 to 30 quid cheaper for similar from other bait companies

Use with confidence.

Use with confidence pal. I switched from Mainline to DNA a few years back after a dry spell and never looked back. Good quality bait at reasonable prices.

The bug is my go to boillie. The AMMO Smoke in a solid bag has also given me excellent results since start using it

Was thinking of getting 5Kg of shelfies of The Bug to stick in the boot of the car. Just in case I miraculously manage to catch a few and run out of fresh boilies on a session.

How firm are the shelfies for throwing out in a stick?

I dont really use shelf life myself bar the odd 5kg like yourself for reserves. Their shelf life is extremely soft. Easy to crumb into a mix. Had a 36.10lbs last week of shelf life Bug crumb and corn/hemp mix

Use with confidence. Prefer the SLK and S7 mixed myself but used the bug exclusively on a hard water and did really well, just prefer a fishmeal myself

Thanks for the confidence boost. Certainly seemed to be good money for what you got, just wasn't sure if it was sawdust, egg and a dodgy flavour

It's a very good bait so is the insect meal powder to I used it last year on the public lake and baited with bug (this was may time)and made up balls of ground bait with insect meal(which is black soldier fly) also got a 5k bag of soldier fly,one that people buy to feed the wild birds,it helps baulk out the insect meal as it's pricey per kilo)and blended that up so there's all the shell etc in it mixed with liquid bug,and fished over it,had a few with this method,the way I see it it's a dark bait and it's good for shallow water,doesn't really draw attention to the swans when they come back down from the top end of the lake drifting around looking for food.

I don't use Bug myself but I have been using S7 since launch. I'd use any of DNAs baits with full confidence, quality at a great price

Use with confidence. I was not sure as I wanted to go down the fishmeal route and i thought it was an odd combo (as are some of the other baits in the DNA range) but could not ignore the results.
There are loads of options on sizes, hookbaits, great comms ,delivery and offers. Such a well run company.
