£4 a KG for a well known bait, excellent value for money right there, pop-ups £4 a pot too

Decent, been around quite a long time, that tells a story on it's own. Used Essential for a long time and in my opinion the 5* baits ive looked at are on a par, seen them catch a lot of big fish too.

At those prices you can get a few KG of each, have a look and not be really out of pocket if they dont float your boat.

There's a thread from 2019 on here about them with a few good reviews. I rang them up last year asking a few questions and I was after some samples, in the end, I ended up buying 1Kg (+P&P) and he sent me a Kg of each of his baits. They were decent baits, good quality.

Didn't actually use them in the end, like I say, was only after samples and decided to go with Poachers Baits in the end. But they will definitely catch fish. And at £4/kg, I'm tempted myself to get a few kilos of shelfies in to just to keep in the back of the van.

Any more reviews on the bait?. I like the price but a company that over sprays pop ups is a bit of a red flag for me.

On their website.

It sounds like they have a standard pop up and just flavour it with liquid before dispatch

I've read all that, the pop up's that match the bait is made with matching ingredients, "key ingredients in both powder and liquid form"

The custom pop-up's are made with the same mix minus a few bits, replaced with a liquid soak of your choice.

Personally I couldn't give a monkey's about that, anyone who see's that as an issue is thinking to deeply. I'd go for match the hatch anyway so it's irrelevant to me.

They dont overspray anything, as for adding a flavor to a base pop-up, you mean like the Korda mob have been doing with Goo for years now? Massive Red flag that

Don't know why you are getting so defensive? They literally state on their website the pop up's are flavoured with the flavour before dispatch. I've even copy and pasted what they have put on their website. To me that reads they have pots of plain pop up's and are just flavoured with liquid once ordered. Whether that's a good thing or not is down to each individual on what they want/expect

Each pot will be flavoured with your chosen liquid before dispatch for maximum absorption. Shake the pot regularly to re-energise.

I'm not

No issue at all with you mate, Ron83 on the other hand doesn't tell the whole story does he.

For £4 a kilo, can't be that good surely?!

Almost like he's connected to the 'business' somehow...
