Only ever had one delivery problem with abs but was quickly sorted. The reason Blake's send out next day is because It comes straight out the freezer but with abs it comes straight from the drying racks. I know which one I'd rather use

And where do you put it when it arrives fresh from the drying rack?

By no means am I knocking ABS, it was just easier to get the same bait elsewhere.

Blakes is local to me, and I now use sticky baits.

I'm looking at getting a bait with some garlic in. Purely because the lakes house bait that I will be fishing is squid and garlic. Initially looked at the GNZ but now contemplating using the DGT as I have always liked tuna in a bait. Anyone any experience with either of these baits? Texture, taste, smell etc

Cheers lads

Have used the GNZ rolled by a third party, it's been great for me in shelf-life, catching from the off in January in freezing conditions, potent smell, it's all my car whiffs of!
Brown fish meal, soft in texture, the garlic is the overriding smell.

All the deliveries I've ever had from abs I've been given a delivery window the day before and been able to track that delivery live. I've never had a problem.

Would you suggest hard hookers? Is the garlic really over powering? Not sure I could deal with that tainting all my tackle and car haha

It's a soft bait so you may want some harder hook baits.
The garlic is the main smell followed by fish meal, it's probably because I leave my bait in the car why it smells so much.
Really good bait IMO.

I have known Geoff for many years and used his bait for 30 years, but i wish the range would stay a bit more staple. it used to be aminos/cream/black peppar but its bewildering now. I just ask him what he would go for. The bonus is that he can tweak and the range of hookbait choices are great.

I have always collected from Sandwich (1.5hrs away), its got a decent tackle shop attached to it and he is always good for some banter.

I have been reading so many positive things about ABS baits so decided to give them ago. I have just placed my first order. I'm going to give the hydro k ago. Iv been on sticky krill for the last couple of year but the two waters I'm on most anglers are using the krill so I thought a change was needed

It's a great bait mate. The amount of liquid in it and the leakage is mega put a couple in a glass over night and see how it looks in the morning 👍
Are you sure?
