I know it's been done to death and all his baits catch fish but I just wanted users opinions on a couple of baits I'm interested in.Choc nut orange and 2T-B,I was thinking of mixing these and moving away from DNA S7.Any users of the ABS baits your feedback will be appreciated

I've used both and caught well especially on the nut but I cant think why you would want to mix them

I can't comment on the newer 2T-B C3P0 R2D2 but we did use the choc orange when it was sold through Perfection Baits and it was a decent bait.

I've also used Malarky, Fifth Element, McNut, GNZ and a couple of others over the years that I can't even remember now. They were all decent, and I never had a bad batch of anything. We had the added bonus of them being delivered direct to the lake every Thursday so that was bloody handy as well. :-)

Why come off the S7 though?

I normally like fishing two different baits,it's something I have always done.

I've often used two baits to see which gets the best response, but where I fish the fish are just into fishmeal baits. I find nut. baits don't work any where near as well. No idea why other than that's what most people use.

I had a sample of the orange nut. Looks nothing like the pic on the website. Not one bit of orange infused egg biscuit to be seen. Bit like the Ibait no flecks of coloured egg biscuit like it used to be. No doubt still be a good bait

I think they grind everything down fine to make it go through the rollers. I'd rather have lumpy barrels!

The I bait had colourful flecks before so not sure why anything's changed

Had some samples through,they certainly put plenty in the bags.The choc nut orange smells really nice.I see what you mean about the big flecks of orange though

A word to the wise. If you order hard hook baits. Invest in a fine bait drill or you will break your baiting needles.

Why wouldn't you mix baits? Can be a great tactic

I always do these days, it works really well.
Just ordered 25kg of Hyrds K and 10kg of Plan Zero as it gets colder I will increase the amount of plan zero but fish them together. I nearlly bought choc nut but I never get on with nut baits, always seem to catch bream lol pretty sure the plan zero is very similar to snowberry and I've done well on that in the past.

Plan zero is a nut bait 😉
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
