I used to love the 4G squid and did well everywhere I used it. Could not get a bite on the scopex and even the carp in my pond wouldn't touch it. Not so positive from me! Ha.

i think some baits are lake dependant, i was on the krill last year and done quite well from my club water but the carp in my missus pond wouldnt touch it yet they love monster tigernut red ammo, which i had less sucess on at the same lake

Dont know if you can really compare pond carp to lake carp as its two totally different environments, but i think it shows some fish for what ever reason will favour one bait over another

I have got a garden pond with carp in, carp not koi.

I have never known them to not eat a quality bait, outside of the colder months.

Of course carp / koi does make a difference as well.

In ou case she inherited her pond from the previous house owner and 3 are koi and the other two visually are just normal commons. I dont know alot about koi carp so mayby someone on here can say whether the two that look like commons may still be a type of koi?

I also think that some baits work at certain waters but not as well at others. Not sure if its to do with some waters being acidic, others alkaline and how bait reacts? So looking at an allrounder really. Thought Scopex Squid may be, but maybe its not?

I used it exclusively for over twenty years, it's one of the best and has been for a very long time. I only stopped when I contracted homemadeitis.

I had some of the first they made and it caught from every lake i used it in. Only stopped using it because of rumours that it had been changed
Switched to essential B5 another great bait. Stopped using that for cost reasons. Been using A.B.S baits. for the last few years because I can collect it and get good bait at a good price.

Started using this around 8 months ago as an alternative to my usual. So far so good. Caught fish straight from the off. Also bought the Bait Glug and Liberally covered 5kg of ‘Stabilised' boilies in it. Baits are rolled really well and have a waxy like texture.

I also like the fact there is two different tones of colour in the tubs of pop ups.

Early signs for me are good and even with 2kg still in the bag, I'm already planning on buying another 5kg

used them multiple times, good bait had a few decent fish from them, however i find the monster crab and squid and krill to be a killer alternative and much much cheaper..

I've been using Scopex Squid since the demise of The Key and the fish seem to really like it.
I did like the 4G as well, which was just a slightly tweaked version of Scopex Squid.
Hopefully enough people will keep buying it so that it doesn't get discontinued, like so many of
Nash's good baits have been.
