I like it even though I've been using the Berry of late.

Baitworks is another brilliant company and love the Atlantic Heat.

Any decent bait on the market will catch you fish, its a confidence thing and unfortunately the first thing i chance when i don't catch will is totally wrong way of going about things.

I was on a Carpforum fish-in at Cromwell around 2004. Nobody caught in the night, next morning I saw some fish in the margin and chucked in some maple 8 that had started to turn and go white. I lowered a rig in, turned round to pick up some more boilies and by the time I'd looked back at the rod it was ripping off, the fish went left into the nature reserve and cut me off.

They were still feeding afterwards as well, Carpmanconway (Daz) had a go for them I think with corn and couldn't tempt one.

The smell from the Maple 8 when it turned white was something else, you could literally see and smell the sugars coming out of it.

Back on topic, I use DNA shelf life now, mainly for Barbel and mainly Bug and SLK mixed together. I've got 100% confidence in both.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
