In order to keep the SHB thread nice and fast (to load) I'll create a new thread every now and again. All threads (new and old) will link to each other so that no information / photos are lost

Just for continuity, I am pasting Mark's last message from the previous thread in here.
The last thread was getting quite long and every now and again a new thread is needed
Mark's post:
Hello all, hope that you are all well. We are getting so many messages to our work phone the past week requesting information or to order hook baits. The shops have been sold out. Just a quicks heads up, Johnson Ross & the Tackle Box will both have absolutely loads in stock on Tuesday or Wednesday. Both will have Fizz-S2 (pink nut), GPB1 (brown nut), GPB2 (black fish), ScopexPineapple-S2 (pink nut) in very large quantities. Tackle Box will also have GPB2-Ming (black fish) & Johnson Ross will have their PPPP-S2 (yellow nut).
In two weeks they will also have Cinnamon-S2 (red nut), Chocolate-S2 (white or yellow nut), DNA Bug, CherryCola-S2 (pink nut), Hutchie-S2 (white nut) & Curry-S2 (orange).
Yateley Angling will also have stock of our products in November. So many shops are now requesting to stock the hook baits. We will have a new website built in the new year once we get this sorted out. The old website is still there. Just not live currently. It can be made live in seconds. The Tackle Box want to do a feature regarding SHB. Their media will come into our base this winter to film this.
I have loads of catch photos to post which I will do as soon as I get a chance.
