I worked with someone who bought some of the nash 3 for 2 shelfies and they were like bullets ie:rock hard when he opened them at a lake where we were fishing,to be fair he caught one on them but I didn't like the look of them.
Has it got to be from those 2 brands as DNA have bundle deals and they are far better in quality in my opinion

I've been using stabilised Scopex Squid for a good few years now.
A very, very consistent bait that just keeps on catching.

Mate of mine wants readymades and those 2 brands are the only ones available, for this bulk deal in Germany. Both companies move large volumes, but quality wise, not so sure who to trust.

I´m very sceptical regarding readymades and their quality, and that´s why I roll my own, and have been doing so for the past 15years, so i know exactly what quality ingredients go into my bait.

Cheers for the replies

I used to be a nash man until I smelt the same underlying smell in any bait I used from them,switched to sticky krill and done better than ever on not heavily fished waters. I know that doesn't answer your question but go for the odyssey In my opinion.

I've heard from multiple reliable sources that the nash Freezer bait is exactly the same bait too. It's all shelflife.

The baits hes talking about weren't available in freezer, only shelf life.

Yes mate, I meant the ones canal carper was referring to, the 3 for 2 ones that were on sale a while back. The instant range or whatever they were called. I remember using the scopex squid years ago , decent bait that

Allegedly - a few companies do it to stop,wastage because of deliveries. If you think a bait will be rolled, into a freezer. Out of the freezer, courier to tackle shop. Possibly delayed, so defrosts. Into tackle shop freezer. Tackle shop sells, defrosts again, sits around in courier unit, back into customers freezer.

Could be mouldy before the bag is opened, and the bait do will be blamed for mouldy bait.
