Just after a bit of info and was wondering is anyone using this or has used this company in the past cos tempted to give them a try. I know they used to do a bait called bio crush cos a bloke on one of my old club waters used to use it and did pretty well on it. Thanks

Dennis is arguably the best angler in the country, a very talented chap.

I dont use any of his products today, i have done when he was MCF, and it was top draw

Thanks mate I had a feeling his baits would be well put together and like you say the man himself does catch a lot of fish.
Now I just need to make up my mind whether to go down my usual route of a top quality fishmeal in the ff3 or go with his ht mix which is a meat based bait.
Thanks again

John Baker used to make alot of his baits, Golden balls were very good, vegetable protein based as far as i remember. Also his pink mix was a stunning bait

Yeah I got told that John baker was involved in his baits a while back. They dont have the golden balls on his new site no more but might have to have a look at his pink ones as one of the waters I fish respond better to a non fishmeal bait.
Thanks mate

I used the MCF Dumper lead clips for years and the claw hooks were good too

I was fortunate to witness Dennis's angling ability once, I was fishing Iktus a few years back and I had already done a week and caught a few the following week Dennis, Steve Briggs and a few other decent anglers all turned up he was in an un-fancied swim the next one along the bank from me to my left that never normally produces that well, the lake was full and we were all out in boats putting markers out etc... typical of that style of fishing, Dennis fished from the bank never went in the boat once never cast more than about 30 or 40 yards he absolutely tore the place a new ******* we all caught a few but he caught ten times more than anyone else that week he had it rocking from the off, angling ability aside he was a real nice chap to boot it was a pleasure to get our bottom's spanked, was it the bait?

Cant beat a dumper clip Gerry.

I fish/have fished with several people who are friends of DmcF. I've met him several times.

Not only is he a top angler, his baits are legendary to those that mix in his circles.

It's always been this way with Dennis, when I first started 40 years back, he would occasionally turn up on a club water, fish the same swims that everybody else did, but catch 6 to your 1.
Bait I'm sure, is a v big part of hes success.

He had Briggys pretty much dead opposite him Joss, they were fishing in the same area of the lake if you like well the same eight or so acres just from opposing banks and I have to say as well as the rest of us he made Steve's catches for that week look pretty average, as everyone knows Steve's no slouch he can catch them normally if they're in front of him, whilst Iktus is 85 acres it's not that much water with 15 swims carving it up, Dennis's swim was definitely the least favorite as well as probably the least amount of water to play with and he made it even less with how far he was baiting and casting, it was a masterclass to watch him haul.
