I'm looking to change baits from what I'm currently on to something new,

I normally buy in 50kg batches to get the price down, the lake that I fish I rarely use more than 500g per session so I would much prefer quality over quantity however I'm not after a bait all the costs have gone into advertising and packaging.

I'm after something with high quality ingredients, I'm not bothered about getting it for £6.50 kg, I just want a really good quality bait that I can apply over the next 2-3 years.

Another stipulation would be that the boilie had a decent liquid and hook bait range to complement it.

Please don't recommend bobs shed baits unless claims from Bob can be substantiated if you know what I mean. The bait needs to have a track record.

What's your recommendations guy

If you want absolute quality then I'd definitely say look at the smaller companies/rollers. They will most likely be either mixing the ingredients or even mixing and rolling themselves. Assuming you don't have the time to make your own. Check out.

The A Bait (Jason Ryder)
Scientific Baits (Dean Towey)
PureBait Concepts
Proper Carp Baits

For more mainstream the ABS HydroK takes some beating. Or Essential B5.
Going on out and out price the DNA S7 bundles are definitely worth a look.

Have never used either but the two companies that stand out to me are scientific baits and UCN. Both run by guys named Dean, which is just coincidence. The knowledge of these guys so impressed me.

You probably have more choice currently from Scientific Baits, listen to the Carp Cast Chronicles with Dean Towey, the owner and that might convince you.

Fantastic all season mix and around £7/£8 a kg

Dave Mallin baits as well,I've had bait off him in past he delivered it himself as he's local to me and a nice bloke gave me some information about the canal I'm fishing and it worked out well too.

Essential baits B5 is worth considering. If you can buy in bulk it brings down costs considerably and is a bait you can have the utmost confidence in.

Baitworks Atlantic Heat for me, a classic. You can also get some good Black Friday deals.

I'm very interested in the Trent baits fresh water shrimp, looks exactly what I'm after. What's the service like and the hookbaits? Are wafters and pop ups as they say? I've found other companies hookbaits are what let them down

The service is spot on mate. All there baits rolled fresh so you receive it the day after it's rolled. There hook baits are exactly what they say. I've done well on all there bait. The only one I've never used is liver specials. so I can't comment on that.
Are you sure?
