Hi lads,

It seems that mainline don’t sell it anymore and my stock become reduced.

Anybody know what was the sweetening stuff in it ? As i have tried a lot of sweetner : nhdc, saccarine, sucralose, stevia and not one come close to the Sweet-ade !

Maybe thaumatin ?

Thank’s

TBH all the better tasting ones nowadays are thaumatin based.
Not used sweet-ade myself for a long time, They still pop up on ebay sometimes.

Cotswold Baits L.M.P.S.E. has always been my sweetener of choice.

My mate used Cotswold products in the 90 and said to me they were the best thing he used in his bait.
If I remember correctly, he said to me he used perfect plum, tangleberry, chocker and milk B.

I don’t think they are available anymore?

Cotswold baits have had a bit of a resurrection over the last 18 months. Some of the products mentioned are available again. Check out their web site.

A good question is : are the cotswold product as effective as before ??

As it seem that all change and, unfortunatly, not in the better way….

I will keep my mate informed, i’m sure he will be more than happy to learn that ! 👍

Hi Pal.

I’ve got half a 100ml bottle (roughly 50ml left) of mainline sweet ade if you want it.

Pm me your details and I’ll post it to you.

That’s Kind of you mate, but i´m french so don’t worry about that 😉

I will give money if one had many bottles, but for 50ml it’s not worth as postage and fee tax will be huge for the small quantifies

There's a seller on Ebay who's just listed quite a few bottles of various Ade, just over £30 for 3 bottle bundles etc......if of interest 👍
