The flask is different gear, hydrolysed bloodworm compound if I recall, basically they left some bloodworm in water, had it analysed for what signals came off and them replicated it and bottled it.

This was a long time ago just as Eric's angling bought them out.

The “Xs” green boilie was a crab and spirulina number Eric's used to sell.

Sam ( current owners brother ) sponsored me in my second to last BYCAC as funds were tight and by far the best product of there's I got my mits on was two hookbaits, a pastel orange peach and pepper and a red scopex and butyric one, ridiculously effective zig baits. Believe they were called aviators.

The flasked compound stuff for me I used to mix with the bloodworm pellet to form a very sticky mix ( it has blood powder within the pellet ) and Jim Shelley later called it tarmac I believe. Once it solidified you could put them in the casting ground bait pouches and send em to Mars!

The fermented bloodworm was in a screw top tin. The bloodworm replication was in an aluminium flask type bottle, never rated that myself

The XS was a hell of a bait, I knew some who used it, average anglers started catching everything.

Richworth Tutti's a great bait for me and badly missed I caught my first 40lb plus in France from a tricky venue on this bait. Not discontinued as many alternatives available but none even close to the original
