Nash sting.......I had a ten kilo bag from j and k tackle......and it turned me into a young Terry Hearn for about 6 months😂😂
Richworth multiplex caught me plenty
But wild cherry from richworth takes me back to my early days

That was one of my best pals favourite baits. He caught a lot of fish on it. Like you say, smelt amazing and washed out really quickly
He then went onto Trigga with maple 8 activator, home rolled

Mid 80's; mate & I used to come back from the pub on a Friday night (aged 16/17, ahem), dive into parents kitchen & roll a couple of mixes of Richworth 50/50 with Hutchy's intense sweetner & Maple Creme. Then we either rode to the lake (occasionally walked!) the 5 miles to the lake & used said bait to catch a few upper singles / low doubles. Halcyon days.
I still utterly love the maple creme smell & find it incredibly evocative! Haven't actually used it to fish with for a while though, perhaps I should!

The original nutrabaits the biollix before it got altered was very kind to me .
The nutrabaits big fish mix was definitely the best one , I could take it to any lake with total confidence

Richworth 50/50 and strawberry or sbs peanut. Loved the nrg and then the Nash F1 in 10 mm. Must have uses tons of the bait.

Not exactly an old bait but found a 5kg bag of Sticky Vortex in my garage last weekend, must be 5+ years old (original vortex rather than the plus). Never used vortex before and assume I must have bought it by mistake instead of another 'flavour'.
Tried it on one rod on an overnighter last night, swiftly put the second rod on it and finished with 19 fish in ~ 18 hours. May have to try it again some time.

I had my first 20lber in 94 on Ritchworth Crab and Mussel.
They were white and stunk! Loved them for years.

Took me nearly 20years before I used a boilie that I didn't make myself. I can recall a few mates using the Richworth ready mades when they first came out and sure, they caught fish, but those of us still rolling our own had a definite edge. I used to get all my ingredients from Geoff Kemp and his Pink Zing flavour caught me a lot of fish back then. Then Premier Baits came along and I was starting to use their base mixes and oils. Then at some point, I started to buy ready mades, but only when I got to the point where I thought they were as good as I can roll myself... Lockdown saw me bait making again. In fact, I ended up making 50kg of shelf life boilies, using a CC Moore base mix with a couple of enhancements thrown in. Saved myself a few quid in the process as well and taught the missis how to roll boilies

I think he is something to do with Sticky Baits. He's on Facebook so you can contact him there.
