Richworth condensed milk boilies.
I did really well on nutrabaits biollix as well as bfm and later four seasons.. Had a go with Nash formula 1, a very different smell which was moderately successful.

I remember these, and you can still get the opal base mix. Remember the adverts when carpworld was as thick as an Argos catalogue. What was the opal, mix of fruit powders and bird food?

Yep. That is still an absolute belter of a bait. Icelandic red with Cranberry & Caviar. With a healthy glug of the Aminol.
I'd take that anywhere. The only reason I stopped using them was that they kept getting my orders wrong.
I had a mate call me up once and ask if I had bait on order. I asked him how he knew, cos its just been delivered to me was his answer, and he didnt even have an order placed with them. Then when he opened up the box half the stuff id ordered was missing anyway.
I had another order turn up with only half the bits id ordered to make hookbaits as well. So I gave up, which is a shame cos that Ice red with C&C and the natural impact are very well put together baits and can be bought at competitive prices as well.

Looks like they are still going strong https://www.carpcompany.com/
Was it really 28 years ago
I remember well, Carp Talk might as well have been called " Carp Company talk" everything that swam seemed to get caught on it, then they just seemed to fade away?

I would love to have the money to buy carp company. Man what a business that could be. Their baits and dips, glugs etc are as good as anyones. With a good e-commerce website, a push on advertising, bait deals, promo videos on YouTube, trade days at the big tackle shops, that business could be amazing. They dont even attend shows anymore.
When you think about it, a business thats been producing quality bait for nearly thirty years, should not have been overtaken in market share by sticky, dna, baitworks etc etc. They have a top range of baits that catch as well as any out there, yet through poor marketing and not making sure orders are correct etc their market share just slipped and slipped.
I bet theres a huge number of guys who have come into the hobby in the last decade who dont even know who carp company are, and for that business, with a stellar bait like ice red thats shameful.
I saw Lewis Read using Blakes bait in a video recently and he's been Carp Company for decades.

That last line surprised me, when did that happen? He was doing gardner vids on insta not long ago rolling ice red
I've been using ccmoore for 8 months or so but think I'm going back to the reds.
They seem to have more tie in with rigmarole since JP's been there
