Hi there i norm use hydra k from abs and gb crab from ub baits as my main baits but having no luck gettin replys from ub baits im thinking of trying els where for a order .
A feller at work was telling me today he uses CarpBasics and the boiles are called ocean fruits and he said they are one of the best baits can get . Had a look on there website and they do look good but cant find any feedback on forums about them ..

Are CarpBasics boilies any good? and how do the compair with abs or trent , aqua baitworks etc .?

Im off france in few months so using hydra k as norm but would love a 2nd boilie choice

Clear glugs to go with baits is never a good sign, usually indicative of glycerine, dye and not a lot else. Any decent fishmeal will have a glug based on hydros. However Ive never rolled their bait so can't really comment on the base mixes.

Thanks for replys .
Iv never heard of them ether and could not find one bit of info or topics on hear or google other forums on there bait .
Thats why i asked on hear to see if anyone els had .
They must just be starting out .

If ocieans fruits was that good and they sell it , you would think they would be load feedback on forums

Ok i stay clear for now and prob go with hot shrimp from aqua as my 2nd bait unless geoff from abs can do us a hot spice mix on one of his base mixes. Any other fishmeal bait people can recomend that stands above rest to try up against my hydra k
Thanks

As nobodys heard of them or tried them or never seen them probably not a gower, I'm sure thay have been field tested for years and the bobbins never stayed still but aint that the case with every bait

Plenty of reputable companies to choose from these days there really is no need to take a gamble with an unknown company.

Took me ages to decide about a bait company I'd want to stick with and that's dna baits really impressed with the whole lot from bait to customer service.
Companies I've tried over the years
Munga bait
Mainline
Sticky
Ccmoore
Richworth
Nash
Nutrabaits
Splash baits
Hydra baits
Dna
Steamies
Dave Mallin baits
Urban baits
Dynamite
Cotswold baits
Can't think of anymore I'm sure I've missed some off but this goes back years
