Qualitybaits's Squid and orange is a combination of their Squid or Squid and Octopus and Orange essential oil.
They buy large quantities of the Squid or squid and Octopus and supply in bulk to several bait firms both here and Europe, though may not be sending to Europe any more LOL
You need to e-mail them for bulk deals.

My stuff from biologic arrived - smells great, propper hoofing squid and octopus with backnotes of babies nappies.

Has anyone tried baitworks sea monster booster? apparently a heavy ammonia/spicy squid type aroma similar to vintage S&O batches.

I have tried the sea monster, wouldn't say it smelled of koi rearer.

Hi Smurf,
Sorry to just jump in, but was browsing and saw your comment. New to the forums and bait rolling.
Anyway re. the Karpi I don't know if this is of interest? https://www.catchitlabs.co.uk/product/red-carpi/
I can't attest to the product or anything but may be worth a look. Smaller bottles are available from http://www.baitboosters.co.uk Hope it helps.
Regards,
Dale

Got a sample from them a long time ago and it isn't/wasn't the same. It has been suggested they can make a 'stronger' version to special order but its not the strength that is not quite the same. I just don't get the same smell/taste from it in a bait when I rolled a test bait with it compared to the last of the previous suppliers I still had.
It may well still catch fish but after 20 years using Karpi (and working hard to get it copied once before) I am moving on unless someone can prove to me they have the Duncan Kay recipe. I suspect that will never happen now but all good things come to an end.
On the plus side it gives me a chance to try some other 'classic' flavours I have not used before. Going to give Maplecream a try, not that different from Karpi so I start with high confidence
