I have XTE super baitrunners on my small water set up, they are lovely.
I have aero gt 8010 on my barbel rods and aero 6010 on a few small rods.
All have been changed to single handles so they sit better on the quivers, and they look better

That's when JC had it. Some serious fermentation going on with that. I kid you not, nearly blew my hand off with that, had a tin and the lid had seized on with all the gunge, was showing my mate in the garage, couldn't get the lid off, after a good few minutes twisting a dull bang, seriously hurt my hand and wrist

I stopped using it, some serious bloodworm attraction going on, I had 14 tench one evening and the were all decent sized fish, crazy!

i had one of my best french trips ever using those tins. I was fishing just a golf ball sized amount of pellet/bloodworm mix and a tiny pop up. Virtually no other bait. Caught right through the whole trip.

Before covid I spoke to Jake Wildbore on the Sticky stand at the big one and tried to get him to pester the boss to re-release it. He just laughed and said no chance!

Hell of a product. I kept mine in the airing cupboard. I would 100% go straight back on it if they could release it in the same form.


I should have added T1 to the list as well.

Also forgot about the Sticky bloodworm - still have a 'silver flask' in the garage - do you think it will have improved with age? Daren't open the thing incase it explodes!

My guess is that some sort of alien hybrid bloodworm has been created in there by now. You open that and it could be the end of mankind as we know it. God knows what that many years of fermentation has created. I strongly suspect that's where covid came from.

Ignore below post, open it immediately and down it in one, you sleep like a baby tonight and on your awakening will have transformed into an adonis with super powers.

A floating brown paste that you could shape to look like a stick: excellent for close range floater fishing. Might have been called driftwood; I don't recall.
