I've done well on boilies from Wraysbury bait and rolling, caught 20x fish over 40lb and a mid fifty over their MC NUT, on the Horton/Wraysbury complex, to be fair I've done well everywhere I've been with it, even caught 20 fish in 48 out of Linear on it, at a social.

I started on Cell and Manilla back in 2021, and moved to MC Nut, and I've certainly continued catching, probably more fish - but that's probably also due to my angling abilities improving and knowledge of the venue, rather than the bait.

5K for £35, but Phil will normally give you a good discount if you buy in bulk, I just use their shelf-life, never had so much confidence in a bait.

I currently use MC Nut, and mix it with their Pineapple nut bait.

You'll do well to beat DNA baits for value, in terms of a good quality affordable bait. Nothing but confidence when using their baits, if you bulk buy you will get the best prices.

MC Nut. Does the MC stand for Maple Cream and are they rolled with Scopex added. Trying to find something similar to what I have been using as usual supplier has stopped.

I think they have Scopex added, give Phil a ring - they're a good bunch, if you want something specific - I imagine he might put it together for you.

Thank you. Just sent them a message on Facebook this morning and just waiting on a reply. Looks like it is what I am after. Not a million miles from Wraybury either so I can pop down when i need to buy some.

They do a pink boilie, (think he calls it 'nutter') which I think is a strawberry scopex type bait, had most of my fish out of Horton Church on it.

They also do some really good pellet mixes, and a good selection of popups, quite a few of the lads from that area are using their bait - I think it's just simple old-school bait.

I have been using Maple Creams by Victory Baits but he has stopped rolling now because of costs etc. Pretty sure I have also used MC Nut when i fished Willow Park and did ok on it.

To be honest, im not even after anything flash as im just after loose feed. I tend to use pop-ups and wafters from either mainline or sticky as i dont really match the hatch.

I'll get slated for this again, floor sweepings, blah blah blah, but in the mid teens I took Decathlon boilies out to France with me and they caught equally well to the named boilie I was using at the time. I also use them on a stretch of river as who knows what was going to eat them and they're cheap enough to pile in. I'm going to guess they might not be ideal from a food source pov if the only source of food but I wouldn't hesitate to use them in a situation like a river if particles were getting mullered. Anyway, £3.50/kg when not on offer, thought it worth a mention re loose feed

I tend to use particles quite often when permitted and just chuck a handful on boilies on top so 5k would last me ages!

I've used decathlon boilies for prebaiting stretches of canals in the past works out way cheaper

Took a trip down to Wraysbury baits today. 5k of MC Nut, 5k of pellet and a pot of MC Nut wafters £55. Spoke with Phil, what a nice bloke he is. Red Hot Squid looks like something I'll be taking to France with me.

If you look at the ingredients the bait is actually better than a lot of the pellet you see so called educated anglers hoof in. Some don't have the ability to think for themselves.
