Looking to switch over to bait works and I am looking for an all round year bait.

Anyone using Atlantic heat all year round?

Thanks in advance

Would use it all year round without a doubt great bait. I must admit I fished it 50/50 and found royal marine to fish better on a few lakes. But use with confidence

Intersting Jimbo with the AH - I never got into it and to be honest not that impressed. I found that when air dried properly and then used, they swell up and start to float up after 24hrs, this is telling me that there is a lot of crumb based product in the bait.

Cannot comment on RM as never used but I know Scotty rates it.

I use Both Atlantic Heat and Royal Marines,and for me the Royals give me considerably more runs than Atlantic heat.
Maybe as much as 6-1 ratio.
I'm on Shelf life's as i've tried both frozen and shelf and found no noticeable difference.
Been using Baitworks bait for ages now.

Thats great feedback, I got some of their samples of shel lifes and have to say was really impressed. Just was torn between what to go for. I have heard good things about the Royal Marine.

Cheers

Started using Atlantic heat this season on a new syndicate, caught really well so far impressed with it to be honest.
Delivery was in a couple of days too, just put another order in for royal marine this time and their site says due to demand it could take up to 10 days.

The AH is a decent enough bait in general but the quality of their balanced baits and cork dust pop ups is pretty poor.

The only other thing I'd say about Baitworks is that their rolling and QC isn't that great, far to many miss shapes and scrag ends in the bags for my liking.

So pleasing to read that comment. Around 18-24 months ago, the pop ups were fantastic, and also a reddy colour, however the brown batches since have been awful. I've contacted BW who don't agree, but did send me a booster liquid. The pop ups are so bad I'm considering changing bait after 4+ years on BW.

Great boilies, god awful pop ups.

Why not just make your own corkball pop ups then

Use the cork ball kit. I get a couple at the start of the year and knock up 4 tubs of cork balls, mesh them up and coat them in the booster good to go

I had the exact same conversation, I will be switching back to Essential.

If I wanted to make cork balls I would, all I want is what is described on the site, what turned up is nothing like shown in the videos etc, then I had fob off BS from them when I spoke to them.

I used Essential for 20 years and they were tip top

So why did you leave essential after 20 years there must have been a reason?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
