Does optimum it contain a flavour? Is it mainly milk based?

I would love to know how owning a small bait firm gives you the knowledge to know exactly the make up of Sticky and ABS bait, is there some bait company convention we don't know about where all the companies share their recipes with the smaller bait firms of this world? Or do you have a pass to wander round the factory floor whenever you like? I'm genuinely interested on how you can speak with such authority on what goes into other companies baits.

Personally i would say it has a high milk protein content in it but there is a element of fishmeal to it. A few years ago I was told there is high amounts of Predigested fishmeal in it as well as high amounts of milk protein. Flavour wise is a bit hard to explain as its not over bearing and i've defo smelt it before but can't put my finger on it but after eating a few I can tell you it tastes like creamy caramel with a slight sort of digestive biscuit taste to it but then you get a rush of fish then you get the caramel sort of taste back in your mouth. It also doesn't seem to take on the smell of silt which i find works well on the lakes i fish. Texture wise its very soft and crumbles up nice and you can literally push it back together like a paste.
Also I would like to add they come across as a very good company to deal with cos when I rang them the other day to get some hard bottom baits off them he said he would personally roll them and get them out to me asap.
Hope this helps

Very grown up response I must say, that only strengthens my belief you are full of rubbish, no wonder your credibility is falling lower and lower every passing day. Its a good job you don't rely on forums and social media to sell bait isn't it really....

I read through this thread like one would walk through a minefield , with severe trepidation.

Surely being in the right place is the single most important factor in carp fishing.?

Yep.

But this the bait section, so people will probably want to discuss bait.

Mozzi you talk a lot of sense. But I would like to know one thing. I worked for Geoff at ABS for over 12 years. I was in charge of everything being the general manager. I dealt with all the bait companies supplied by ABS and was partly responsible for the development of Hydra-K. Now no offence but I have never heard of you or your bait company so how on earth can you possibly claim to know what is in Hydra-K? You may think you know and you are obviously very knowledgable about bait and its make up and can probably guess but sorry you do not really know. So just be honest and respect people on here.
