Started using it early 00 when fishing Cuttle mill as it's only across from Quality baits factory, went on to use it everywhere since and caught well.
Every few years I drift away from it as you think new bait new confidence but I always go back to the patshull park mix when struggling to get bites, not a fashionable bait so I won't expect you to get many reply's.

I have used it in the past but never in its basic form, I always added a few bits and pieces such as liver and whey gel, I was impressed with it to be honest but it was a bit light in weight and a bit soft.
I have a friend who still uses it a lot, he sometimes does the same adds his own bits and piecrs but often uses it as it comes.

Still the same as it was when it first came out. Know a lot of guys that still use it themselves and wouldn't change it for anything else out there (localish company).
As for saying there is "much much much better" out there.... So what if there is? Doesn't mean it will catch you any more fish. I don't use it myself but have done in the past but I wouldn't say anything bad about it because I don't use it nowadays. It is no better or worse than it was when launched & still the same as it was back then. Just shows how good of a base mix it actually is if it hasn't changed. That is the good thing about bait - use what you want to use & have confidence in. Confidence will catch you a lot more fish than the latest wonder bait if you are not 100% about it.

I've used Simon's baits for years on and off, the Patshull Park I first used mid to late 90's i'd never heard of it before then my mate had and he went up and bought the basemix we rolled some using a blue cheese and garlic flavor combo back then we used to watch the pads part for the fish to get at it once introduced.
I later used it with squid and orange flavor the flagship flavour nowadays on this mix, it has caught me many many fish home and abroad over the years, you can tinker and add bits to it if your thinking of rolling it yourself but it really doesn't need it, I have tried all of Simon's mixes and they all catch but I would say don't ignore his Krill but in saying that I would happily use the CM60 or either of the HG mixes, he's been at it a long time and if it was no good he wouldn't be around now, use with confidence.

Can't see why it wouldn't be good, Simon has quality ingredients and knows what he is doing.

Used it since it first came out and now I use the cm60 too , cracking bait currently in France in freezing conditions had 2 x 50s 2 x 40s and 5 x 30s testing a new pellet and it's a stunner

used it for a couple of years when I rolled the base mix with a few extras, then I ordered 20kg of base mix for a French trip, rolled 24mm baits, air dried as usual, then went to france. Imagine my face when finding that on the initial baiting up, every single bait floated. I had rolled 20kf of feffing pop ups. Nope, absolute total rot, avoid.
