Looking for a bit of help.
After many years of making my own baits based on the a high percentage of fishmeal and quality milk proteins and birdseed this year I wont be able to make my own due to time restraints due to work and family commitments. I'm not looking for an all season type of bait but a frozen readymade based on the same principle that I will be using during summer/autumn as in winter I only use maggots and corn and high attract singles. Price is not an issue I'm looking for quality over quantity. Any help would be most appreciated

As already mentioned John Baker. Been using his stuff for 15 years and to the best of my knowledge the quality has never changed

Yeah I used to use elite baits about 20 years ago as well before I then decided to start making my own. I used to love the smokey mackerel and had my first 30 on them many moons ago lol

Yes smokey was a fantastic bait, better than the cream cracker i found although many seemed to prefer the cream. I started using JB but got fed up of rolling my own (he didnt have a rolling service then) so i moved onto Elite i used to collect if from Ollies house then i moved away but you got me thinking now, I may look at getting some more.

I used to pick it up direct from ollie as well and always found the smokey mack a take anywhere bait but my old man would always swear by the cream cracker as he had his first 50 in france on them from etang de margot.

If you dont mind paying for the privilege then maybe blakes hnv pro might fit the bill. It was designed to use the absolute best quality ingredients for people who dont mind paying for it. Message keeperboy on here for more info.

I've not used it personally but I've seen A LOT of people on here vouch for ABS and I think their top fishmeal is the Hydra K.
May want to speak to someone who uses it first though.
