For all you lovers off Carp company baits. I see they have a new e commerce website up. So you can now buy online. Saving you having to talk to someone.

Not sure whether Bob or Julian are still behind the reigns though? As the company seems to be trading under the CMCS banner. But still good that it's readily avaliable.

I can remember them being available in holland decades ago, small brown bottles of flavour. The memory i have of their maple is still the benchmark for me. They also had nice 250ml bottles of something, liquid food avant la lettre. Was good stuff. Guess i won't be seeing them in holland anytime soon, does get annoying not being able to easily buy some uk stuff nowadays.

Fond memories of CC, like the options available too but would have preferred a 15/16 rather than 14 to 18.
Went down to Willow Park Hants early 0's, took about 8 different baits, could we buy a bite! On leaving a local told us to get some CC IR when we came back, we did, and we had it away, something silly like 48 fish each in 24 hours. A old lady came out of her bungalow with a cup of tea on a tray for us, she said we looked like we needed it as every time she looked out we were playing a fish ...fond memories

There was a young lad who used to go to the shop for anglers, he was miffed when on about the 3rd time they had no pva bags left for us to buy.

Interesting that. As I was always under the impression the Carp Company was a Dutch bait company originally.

Always did well on CC IR and The Nut Mix. Used to get mine straight from Jules as he lives round the corner from me. Was always a great price as well.

Asked for a CC IR with garlic once for a french trip. Did well on it but he said he'd never do it again because everything stunk of garlic for ages!

Hmmm, you know, you might have a point, but i don't know, looooong time ago. Looking at their current site i don't see the typical brown bottles i am remembering. Logo looks like memory though. So dutch you say, but moved to the uk? Whatever it is, it's not available over here now, there's a tackleshop with the same name but that is where it stops.

Whatever it was, their maple was great

Garlic.. can see why.. it catches its fair share mind..

Think someone had an accident at the Big One a couple of weekends. Walking g round certain stalls you definitely got a nose full of Garlic. And not a bait company in sight.. could of even been sabotage..

My uncle was heavily involved with carp company ,used the bait with devastating results on Orchid lake ,

Seed of the weed ,did really well on that mix ,got sent down loads of kilos to use and try out ..used,made so much CC stuff,lost track of what I actually didn't use..

They also did a roadshow ,bringing Eurocat products ,remember Marcus came to that as well ,future baits stuff ..

Was great ,often thought about a Kernow only carp show ,was good fun last time ..

Icelandic Red with cranberry, squid EPA and caviar?
Was quite popular 20 years ago.

Was recommended by the lake owner so we did as he suggested.

He forgot to tell us that the lake was rife with Chats as well so it wasnt the best week!
Are you sure?
