I'm after a super buoyant 12/13 mm crab flavoured pop up, something quite pungent are there any out there you would recommend ? Cheers 👍

UB Baits will do you something like this as a custom order if you tell them what you want. Think you have to order a minimum of 2 pots though but still good value

Proper job do a savoury crab. ive not used it but id imagine if its anything like the rest of their range you won't go far wrong.

Scent from hell are a intense monster crabby smell. Wouldn't say they were super buoyant in the small sizes though. I make my own corkballs with JB shellfish bio and his crab flavour.

brown when you make the paste, orange once cooked.

UB Baits do one in their standard range - GB Crab. He hasn't got any in stock at the mo, but if you call him, I'm sure he'll knock some up for you.

I used to use the bait room ones which were like a burnt orange colour, they were superb but I've run out now and not paying £40 a pot 😂 will you be doing one in your range mate ?

There isn't a lot of natural crab type products around in fishing baits at the moment, I know there is dehydrated crab meat in “mirage baits” gear run by Marcus Watts if that's any use to you.
I personally think a wafter may be more achievable to have “real crab / food” in a hook bait, I just don't stock faith in flavours the same way.
Could very well be a fun task for yourself, it's an addictive add on to the sport and For about 50 quid you can buy some pop up mix / base mix / cork dust / liquids then Nìck a couple eggs from the kitchen, however savoury flavours don't always brush the other half up well lol

We tend to make decisions based on demand. We have some very nice crab products and it is something we have played about with. I like the idea of some nice hydro liquids mixed in with it and some powdered elements. Just not sure what colour it should be!

Does colour catch the angler or the carp tho?
Just to try and be different, I've knocked up a couple of baits for short sessions over the winter, a yellow strawberry one and an orange cream/garlic one. Commercially shouldn't the strawb be red and the cream white?

Doesn't matter, not many carp have met a crab. Even fewer that have will make it into a stillwaters to spread the word
