Both baits clearly work and both offer a similar bait selection apart from bloodworm/bug. I do find DNAs 20kg deal to be blinding value for money, and sticky don't really offer anything like it.

DNAs cork dust pop ups do tend to be a bit lacking of you're thinking of going that way, their 15mm slk pop ups barely hold up a size 6 chod for me.

I'm on the bug this year last, year was the slk,impressed with it after around a year using it may do a review of dna baits soon
Update on the dna got to the lake yesterday around 6:30 and had a 13:14 full scalled out on a salted bug boilie, the same lake last august was told nothing been out as far as they knew for 5 weeks(was told by a guy who lived near and was fishing every day after work) had 4 out not big but that was on the slk

I have used both for the last few years and would use both again without question, I'm currently using krill and most likely stick with that for a while now but I would use slk/ s7/ bug without a question mate

I will never use DNA Baits again but that's nothing to do with the quality of their gear which is good. Sticky I have not been overly impressed with, it's OK, but that's it.

Personally I find companies like RG Baits or Trent Baits far better, small enough to care about the quality of their gear but big enough to cope with demand and provide a service. RG's Prime is something else...

I'll be honest I did think that last year when I bought the s7 something just didn't seem the same, still caught on it but something was a bit off

Have to agree spod, AM on trent baits this year, found the bait to be the bizzo, and the deals were decent. Also as most know, ABS is the bizzo as well

The red dye that was used in Robin Red was banned so this made the Robin Red change slightly so now the S7 isn't as red as it once was but that's the only change. Been on DNA for many years now predominantly using S7 all year round but the last couple years or so been mixing the S7 with The Bug and can't complain. Really liking The Bug at the moment

Thanks for clearing that up I was looking at the S7 but was on the SLK. And now the bug still very impressed with DNA on the whole and I caught last night on a bug boilie from the evo range

Have had fish on The Bug on almost every trip I have been on this season. Use with utmost confidence.

Been playing around with bits, made something massively superior to the robins unfortunately its not really commercially scaleable.

Several people on here know the facts regarding ABS, but trent, RG etc are all good lads (Y)

Same here. I am on 3 fish from 4 trips so far. Not all using a Bug hookbait but every one over a spread of The Bug

I would be happy using both, however between the choice of 6 quid a kilo and 12 quid a kilo, it's a no brainer.
