Just got a smallish order from Blakes - mainly powders and liquids for glugs etc. I thought the package smelt a bit fruity and I found a tub of pop ups in there that I hadn't ordered as a free gift.

My first order and not a big one so wanted to big them up publically.

Now to work out what to do with minamino, liver, GLM, Betaine and more...

You must be special, I've been using them for years and got sweet FA!

Very good company to deal with though.

Think I see on fb. All this month they've been giving free pot pop ups with every order. Nice touch

I think the deal is free sharpy specials on all online carp orders (no good giving them to all the match anglers)
The lovely lads at Blake's 😂

Just seperated and bagged up my Snowberry boilies, the sweet smell wafting up was too good to resist and couldnt stop my self from eating one, hopefull the carp will agree

What a service by Blakes, ordered yesterday and arrived at 7:30am this morning!! Excellent.

I also got some of their free samples of each type of boilie they do, does anyone know if these are shelfies or frozen. Would guess shelfies, but if someone knows for sure would be appreciated.

Been using Snowberry for last few years as winter bait and have done very well on it.

tested my freebie tutti fruitti orange pop ups in a tub of water on a size 6 chod rig......

After only 8 hours alls ok except the colour, its all washed off, water in tub has turned orange.

After 24hrs the bouyancy is still going strong, still quite firm and smells ok.

After 36hrs its still bouyant, faint fuitti smell, spongy texture, still holds its shape, I broke it open and inside is still orange and smells fruitti. Great bouyancy, shame about fast loss of colour.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
