Where I was coming from is when we're all starting to look for a sustainable/ethical protein source, Pruteen would actually be a decent product. And compared to the Soya/Semo readymades back then, yes it was a much better bait.

To misquote that great songwriters, McFly, "it's not all about you......."
And regarding Marks Inbox, to misquote the magnificent manly man, Oscar Wilde, "irony is wasted on the bloke who rolls little balls of stuff for fish to eat."
I know you don't use facebook, but a reply to a reply in a thread, saying "unlike that Spectrum bloke who slags everyone else off......." in a post that was probably seen by a couple of hundred people tops (providing they read every reply) and the vast majority have no idea who I'm on about is hardly "all over facebook". Especially when I replied to Geoff, who you, erm might occasionally "slag off".
I had a cracking weekend ta

My guess is that within a few years the cost of decent milk proteins and fishmeals will be so much that they wont be viable in bait anymore because the masses simply wont pay £15 a kilo even when buying ten kilos, so rather than being a bit of a novelty, baits made up with insect meals and addition proteins from yeasts/veg hydros etc will probably become the norm. We might look back on these fishmeal days with rose tinted specs, I saw last night that due to Mr Putin that up to 3rd of fish n chip shops may have to close due to a shortage of white fish and availability pushing up costs.
The late Bob Baker was a member of one of the clubs that I fish but unfortunately I never met him so I wasnt able to punish him for the recipe :-) One of the bait brains behind the original T1 was also a member but I believe he doesnt fish anymore. So another classic recipe lost.
The designer of the original grange is on one of my waters, so I might still be able to punish him :-)
