As with everything in the world it always comes down to cost. I fish a lake that has a large hungry stock so I go through a fair bit of bait a year and cost has to be considered but not skimping on quality. Luckily I get Rg for a good price but tbh even if I paid joe public prices I'd probably still use it.

Of course cost is not the be all and end all, but it has to be a factor. Paying £12 a kilo from shops is completely inhibitive if you're wanting to put some bait in; as mentioned upthread, if you can get 20 kg of quality frozen bait for £135 then why would you spend the same amount for 10kg of Hybrid or Cell? It's not like it's "twice as good" (inverted commas because it's very subjective).

Several people could confirm it? But they mysteriously don't, and yet you stick the boot in at every given opportunity!! It's cringeworthy

All this talk of deals, then look at something like the optimum from Rollin baits at 13 quid a kilo. Is it that much better?

Regardless of the large hungry stock I go fishing to catch them not feed them, by your own admission you don't pay full price but go to say if you had to you would PROBABLY still use them. Knowing bugger all about bait but I do know beyond doubt the guy that uses the most bait doesn't always catch the most fish. The main syndicate three hundred yards from my front door has been fished by a few of the big names but I can only think of one angler that has ever dominated the place catching all the sought after ones in less than one season and he fished it with one rod and single hook baits.

Had some of My best fish, single rodding, thay know
One of the best bits of advice I ever had was "push the boundaries" that advice has followed me for many years and sometimes transformed my angling

I'm sure many have fished places that piling it in is the kiss of death and they just close up.
Pushing the boundaries, are you uncle Jim?

I have to agree with this. Not all of us have the knowledge base the older crowd does in regards to bait. It's too easy to go with a company that is thrown in our faces, the bait catches me fish and I'm happy with it so I needn't change.
I moved off A bait wasp onto DNA and while the quality may be different I haven't got the foggiest how as I've found learning about bait is opening up an entirely new hobby in itself and something I really don't have time for.
