When I spoke to Geoff he thought if the feed back went well it could be released in a couple of months. This is the final stage now a smaller selection of people had had access up until this point 👍🏻

I went and collected mine yesterday. It is really hard to put your finger on exactly what the bait smells like. There is no tigernut in it, just Tiger Nut Flour. Speaking to geoff at length, I have no doubts this will be another top class bait added to his list. I also purchased hard hookers (as it was mentioned the bait is soft) Pop- Ups and Glug.
Genuinely excited by this oppurtunity and can't wait to give it a try

Not sure about all this premium bait talk.
Does that mean his other baits are inferior?
I bet the £premium£ baits are no better results wise then his malarky gnz nutmix etc. Which are fantastic baits.

Inferior.
Not really, probably will cost more after the testing is done and released, than the other established baits ABS do due to more expensive milk protein content, and additives and attractors, that's all.

I'm an Abs user and my question is are these new premium baits really catching so many more fish than the baits they have had for many years? Or are they catching fish that rarely get caught on harder waters?
Like I said I have great faith in Geoff's baits, but for most people on most waters are the premium baits producing vastly better results.

At no point have ABS labelled this as a premium bait as of now. That is purely down to the wording of this thread. It is a new bait, in development. At NO point yesterday was any final cost mentioned at all, if the bait passes the final testing stage that is. It way well become a ‘premium bait' along side Hydra-K
The ingredients that go into it, are more expensive to purchase in the first place. And therefore will possibly require and higher cost price to customers
Its that simple

The Hydra-K is the first of our premium range of baits being developed and introduced in the coming year.
So either this is another standard bait or it is in fact one of the premium baits they are talking about.

I was told it was going to make part of the premium range mate due to the added cost of more expensive ingredients hense why they said it would be interesting to see the results when fished side by side with hydra k.
More expensive ingredients, higher price, premium product. That simple
Edited..

They asked if anyone wanted to try this new bait at a reduced price to 'test' it and give feedback. Not saying they have taken on testers permanently. They just said to me they would be interested for me to fish them side by side with hydra k see how it fares against their other 'premium' for want of a better word, bait.

All the testing would have been done well prior to this stage, now it's just released to paying customers at an introductory rate to get it out there and in the public eye. A company as successful as Abs will have a core of proper field testers. A good opportunity to try something new though, especially if you're someone who jumps from bait to bait.

I was using Matt's bobbers fishing with a bag of chopped, crummed and whole abs bait over about 2 kilo of whole abs bait, and it was crapping it all over the mat, so yes the fish was caught over abs bait..with matts bobber and an 18mm mamba hookbait..Anyway I don't know who you think you are, i dont know you but last time you popped up you called me a dunce, for asking someone specifically why they wanted low stretch mono..if youve got nothing nice or constructive to say maybe this isnt the place for you. Or better yet go fishing and clear your head.
