Hi guys thinkin of try baitworks this year especially with the sale that's on but not sure about it anyone use it on here which one they like??which do they not and why?? They have been round a while so must be ok as they passed the test of time. I was using nash to good avail but they have stopping doing the one I used and I have to order a 100k roll if I want to keep using it so fancy having a change what you guys think.

Cracking company and products IMHO.

Have been an Atlantic Heat user for some time now. Gave the Monster Red a go on a runs water but less convinced about that one, and whilst I am sure their other baits work perfectly well, when you are on something that you have confidence in there is no reason to change.

Had a couple of fish on some of the original Scent From Hells (when they were just 'specials'), but the newer version I have been less successful on, definitely smells like a recipe change, that only to my nose and obviously the effect that has on the carp I have no idea, but less confident in them now.

Never had a problem with any order, always been very easy to contact, mostly via social media for myself, so have nothing bad to say regarding their service in any way.

From memory I believe Simon Scott was an avid Atlantic Heat user, even during the Korda filming when it was geared more towards Mainline, and whilst I wouldn't base using a company on his say so I do have the utmost respect for his knowledge in the world of carp feeding/breeding.

It's a company I really want to like. Have used their Atlantic Heat for a year or so a couple years ago, ordered a bit myself and had parts of bulk orders from mates.

One thing that put me off is that one batch of Atlantic Heat I purchased was very different to another and after that point I lost a bit of faith. I know there is seasonal variation etc but consistency to me is important.

The current scent from hells are quite different to the baits from a few years ago and the oils and liquids seemed to me to contain a lot more bits and bobs in the past.

Never used RM, that is their newest bait as far as I am aware, catch reports seem good but I'm not one for changing all the while AH is around.

Monster Red was very garlicky IIRC, and just didn't hit it off for me. AH is a spicy fishmeal, broken up it just looks a quality bait with good ingredients, and it continues to catch me fish so have never changed since I got on it, obviously sometimes have varying hookbaits, i.e. use different pop-ups/wafters but on the whole AH is part of my make up wherever I am.

Agree what Tom has said though, there does seem to be a variance at times (usually minimal), but it never seems like the quality is compromised.

Caught on both RM and AH, big fish on both, been using AH for close on a decade, a real fish catcher

I changed from DNA S7 to Atlantic Heat when S7 got difficult to get . It clearly is a decent fishmeal, but the fishes reaction when watched in the margin was far more positive to the S7 than the AH. Think I'll stick with S7 in the future,

Couldn't buy a bite on AH or scent from hells a few years back.. blanked for 10mths changed baits and caught instantly. Could have been other factors at play but didn't fill me with confidence

Honestly the best bait firm i have used,

I was persuaded to switch by the comments on hear and i have not looked back, i can not remember the last season i did not catch at least one or two cracking carp. i use pretty much all the range of boilies but atlantic heat has been my favorite and the scent from hell pop ups have caught me countless fish at this point. I find the baits are always high quality and also the glugs and powders etc are second to none. Sadly you just missed the black friday and new yer 20 percent off offer, i just ordered a shed load.
