Are there any Eclipse Baits users with feedback on their range out there? I've read through previous messages etc on them but haven't read much about the specifics of their bait.
I'm particularly interested in their Virus range.

Or they could delete the posts that are not relevant to the OP's question? I hardly think Dave needs to go down the Successful Baits route do you?
I just think threads need to be given a chance before people jump on them.

I have never used eclipse baits but i did look at them out of interest in the past, didn't get as far as getting a sample though.
Looking now they look reasonably priced £70 posted, but what do you get for your money?.. I'm sure they were more expensive when I looked before and concluded abs or blakes baits would be better for the money based on past history, but with free postage that's not bad. It doesn't go into much detail on the extras that make up the bait though so I can see why the OP is asking..
From their site..
 The Virus contains LT94, pre-digested fishmeals, salmon extract, whey proteins, calcium casseinate, veg proteins and a blend of special spices. In addition to an extremely effective feed stimulant that has come from the aqua-culture industry.

Ok. First ever post. Not affiliated with any one at all. I've had a year or so out of fishing and i simply wanted honest views on the bait, no more. Almost sorry i signed up and asked.

Was looking for long term users, is the bait soft, smell etc. I reached out to the company but got a very brief response so was looking for people with their own opinions. Thanks.

It's more about what quantities do they use the supposed ingredients?

Appreciate your sensible response to my question. I exchanged a single email with the company but the answer to my question was about 5 words thus i came here and signed up to look for people unattached to the company for their thoughts.

Been a long while since I used Eclipse baits, I think the Virus was being worked on as I stopped using them.
I doubt Dave would skimp on anything to be honest and if your reaching out was an email or some other means that isn't a telephone then I suggest giving them a call.
I know a guy that has used the virus recently so will point him in this threads direction to see if he can help you out.

I'm sorry mate, it was just really bad timing on your behalf if your a genuine poster if you read the "successful baits" thread you will see why.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about eclipse but i have used a lot of other baits, if it's of any help and your genuinely looking for a bait to use with confidece that isn't too expensive that has a long track record then I would suggest Malarkey from Blake's baits (same as malarkey from Active Bait Solitions)
Another from Blake's I have done really well on is krinella.

If you don't mind spending a bit more money Hydra K from Active Bait solutions or HNV Pro from Blake's if you want to go all out.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
