Has anyone got experience of Secret Squirrel hookbaits ran by Alfie Russell. I tend to use pop ups from PJPU but like the look of a couple of their pop ups.

Also, if anyone else has recommendations for specialist hook bait companies feel free to recommend.

Specialised Hookbaits. I rarely cast out without an S2 on the end.

I've tried the candyberry one a few lakes down here, and they haven't worked for me. I'm off to a silty estate lake today so will pop one on to give them a try.

S2 Fizz will be on the other rod

Candyberrys didn't work again yesterday, so they've gone on the shelf.

Maybe I'm just not urban enough 🤷‍♂️

I've done pretty well on them over the last 18months, nice and buoyant, mostly caught on the billingsgate small ones (13mm I think?), I have some of the bright and white fruity flavours and caught a couple on them but bright baits are generally a last resort for me so they probably haven't been given a proper go.
