But we're they really unique? They all had pretty much the same ingredients, just slightly different ratios.

Even when we rolled our own, I'd say the vast majority was often to a published recipe.

Always rolled my own, BFM was a game changer for me, fish love it

You can only use what is around you at the time, 99% of recipes are probably a copy, virtually everything nowadays is, there is enough information for anybody to knock a decent base mix up. Off the shelf, in the bucket, 100% confidence for me

Done the homemade bait thing for a lot of years and unless you are buying in BUIK it's an expensive game. Anybody who buys bait from a shop is paying a premium, shop mark up, that simple

Rolling your own, a rare breed, becoming rarer in this age of ready rolled convenience.

Nutrabaits always were a consistent good media advertiser, and a quality supplier of easy to follow/roll up base mixes/additives with instructions and recipes that anyone of all abilities could knock up and create baits that could catch from anywhere.

These days there are so, so many other good baits available, sometimes I think it is more about the marketing, than the quality of some bait these days.

Mainly rolled my own Nutrabaits except for 3 seasons where I had somebody do it for me. used pre-rolled other baits though

Your right though, the choice is absolutely well and truly endless now

re: The quality & service from these guys is second to none.

Well, I wanted some info on one of their more expensive products, so as you can only do, add details via the 'contact us' page, not once, but twice, and guess what... no reply whatsoever. Shame.

Absolute tosh from a field tester.

Nutrabaits mixes are a shadow of what they were, and they never acknowledge that key ingredients go missing as discontinued.

Scaley - which of their ingredients are you curious of? I can probably give you the exact name of it prior to the re badging? Unless it's a trade secret in which case 🥸

Thanks Mozzi.
It wasn't an ingredient as such, but the protein content of the Hi Nu Val base mix, as the label doesn't show it.
I seem to remember it was around 75% percent protein.

From the top of my head I thought it was 86% but I could well be wrong.

It's an instant pop up firm again with very little experience, took on a large “team” of some anglers who are nice chaps but I know to be beginners.

A long time ago. It isn't trigga anymore and hasn't been for a long time, two of the key original ingredients aren't made anymore and neither are some of the other ingredients.

If I had to choose one it's be BFM as this mix can only be superior to when it was first made due to improvements in the original ingredients I.e low temperature fishmeals.

If you're up north I'd bypass them all together and go with RG baits or rollin baits 👍🏼
