I have to take frozen bait to France later this year ( early sept) and with poacher having 20% off its tempting to get some from there.
Used Maple tiger nut many years back, just use shelf life now or I'd still be using poacher.
But should I be considering any of the others?
What do the rest of you use who use poacher?

Can't go wrong with the Tigernut & Maple. I've also used there fruit frenzy in the past as well. Great baits I'd use any with confidence.

Ditto for me, tiger nut & maple, fruit frenzy, top baits.

Joss swears by the TNM and has been with them for 20yrs so I would go with that.......

From what i have seen he has been knocking it out of the park professionally in recent months so may well be busy with that... or something worse might be actually out fishing

My friends and I have been very successful using Poachers Special Blend (PSB) in France but I tend to use SV1 in the UK and have caught well from a few venues using it.

I used to use the TNM and simply changed because I wanted something different on a new venue I was fishing.

If you want something different again the PRB is excellent. I get Gavin to make me yellow pop ups in PRB.

Ordered my batch Monday and just taken receipt of it, thought it would be at least another week so pretty decent turn around and just in time for a fish 👍

One of the pots of popups I've got smells different, got it all over my bugle now all I can smell 😂😂. S

In the middle of summer I'd say SV1 , as it may be cooler in September I'd say PSB. Unless the lake you are going to is known to fish better on nut baits, in which case, it's obviously T and M.
Are you sure?

Yes, continue
