Are Solar Tackle still selling bait ? Anyone know anything.
Just been browsing the main website and 24/7 shop and unless they are adding/changing stuff/tweaking the website/s, it does seem devoid of any bait & mixmaster products to buy.

You definitely don't hear anything about Solar baits these days. Didn't Martin Locke sell up a few years back? You only really ever hear about the tackle side of the business.
Didn't they branch out with a bit of a side project with bait at some point " Cherry bait " springs to mind.

The Solar website looks like its been updated to me since I last went on a couple of months ago. Google search solar tsckle bait and the page still exists but returns a error.
Cherry Carp Kells, still going, I get the odd random fb post popping up.

Thanks Guys
Seems like another company no longer doing bait mixes/flavours to home rollers, a real shame TBH, probably due to lack of home rolling demand and higher ingredient costs, EU Rulings, etc.
Fondly Remember the early 90's Solar their good/different views on 'cheap' birdfood bait, and mixmaster Attractors, and of course the original Squid & Octopus made people think about their bait, people moved off of the protein mixes, etc.

Jacko pop ups Strawberry cream & geranium EO...
Would be well up for a pot of Your S2 if you done them in the old winter secret flavour. One of my all time favorite Solar pop ups..

I know you said S2 Winter Secret but thought I'd mention when having a nosey on Johnson Ross website last night that was one of the flavour pop ups from Forgotten Flavours in the new items section

Had a quick Nosey. They are also doing Jacko pops as well. Forgotten flavours do a huge range of pop ups. There a bit like them old school sweet shops that were around a few years back. Trading of the back of nostalgia more than anything. But I'm sure there baits still catch there fair share.

From what I read, he's (FF) one of the few that put their money where their mouth is and actually have the old flavours tested and then try and recreate faithfully from what's available now. I have their secret agent flavour and it's very good, but who am I.
Just wish D would listen to feedback and start selling mixed pastel colour pots, I'll be dammed if I'm paying £57 to have all 3
