Seen this brand been mentioned a lot on catch reports from a local lake. Seems to be catching up to 40lb+ carp and thought to ask on this forum. Has anyone used this bait? The Mad Baits white pop ups over the local lake pellet seems to be doing some serious damage so I'm wondering is it just working wonders on this particular lake or others.

Ive used the asbo, wicked whites and nutz plus from mad baits over the last 12 months on both farlows, my syndicate and abroad. Ive had a mediocre year, nothing special. The asbo was the most successful for me but to be fair, i have used more of it.
Unfortunately their customer service leaves a lot to be desired and their social media is full of very uninspiring content (15lb simmo spam) which suggests a bit of desperation to me
I have a good mate who is one of their 'team members' who pays £6 a kilo with his team member discount for a 'test' bait
Says it all to me. I've gone back to my previous supplier and will use the last 15 kilo for loose feed in france in october

Reading between the lines I'd guess you mean Ladywood? I wouldn't base my bait choice on just one water personally especially there... it's an overstocked hole in ground with no naturals.... the fish are fed large amounts of fishmeal pellet on a regular basis, and they sell mad baits on site... hence pellets and usually a white hookbait catch.
As for the bait itself from what I've seen it's the usual over flavoured, overpriced Euro trash with very little nutritional value

That last post has surprised me a little tbh, I thought their prices were high because they used top quality ingredients.

Only my opinion mate, they may do but from what I've seen I certainly wouldn't use them.

I'm inclined to agree with Hadrian in that quality may not be at its best. Imo lots of maize and bran is used as the bulk with a "hint" of useful ingredients

That would explain why the wicked whites are publicised so much in their posts if they're sold on site. I wasn't intending on getting a tub as I've got an armoury of Scent from Hells and other (potentially) devastating hook baits to use. I've not fished it for 10 year. Although will likely invest in some of their pellet as they're on a heavy feeding programme.

Would love to see some evidence behind some of the claims in here, such as the bait being 'over flavoured euro trash' or the bait being bulked out with crap and having no nutritonal value, I've found the exact opposite true and its all high quality ingredients and very good bait, all their baits are rolled in their factory in Cambridge. The comment about the pictures on their Facebook being all 15lb simmo's is bizarre as well, you only have to go and have a quick scroll and its nothing like that at all.

See post 5... maybe we've got different ideas about quality...

Are you joking!? The last 2 fish they have posted are a single 26lb simmo from b1 and common that id guess is an upper double. Hardly decent advertising is it!?

If Jerry Hammond and Jim Hepper use their baits then it is safe to say that they are not Eurotrash bait!

tbf, my mate has just switched from active baits to mad baits, i told him he was crazy, he then had 3 upper 20's from a tricky water the first time he used their bait, so who knows.

i have ordered a fair bit of bait to take to France this month from them. we went to their factory and spoke at length with Mark the main man, he showed us around and we watched them roll the baits they certainly werent putting bran or any of the so called crap in them. he has told us we can come down to watch him roll our baits and see what he puts in them. you cant get any fairer than that.

The reason I mentioned the bran and maize was down to the fact that on a recent trip to the animal feed supplier I noticed a pallet of sacks with mad baits written on it. Upon further inspection I saw mostly maize meal, bran approx 15 sacks of each plus a couple of sack of provimi 66 fishmeal... Maybe I've come to the wrong conclusion but seemed a lot of filler ings for a bait firm.
