Hi All. just wondering if any one knows of any plum flavoured baits. i can vaguely remember back in the 90s using a boilie called plum royal and at the time had some reasonable success with it. cheers

The old Solar bait Winter secret was a plum and Pineapple flavoured birdfood bait. Sadly long gone.

If your looking for a Fishmeal bait Essential baits B5 is a Plum shellfish profile.

If you are rolling your own nothing comes close to John Bakers Plum

We weren't impressed with our last batch of Plum from JB. We didn't change anything, ingredient wise, or boiling wise, but the baits just didn't smell the same as they did before.

Ended up with Catchitlabs Plum instead.

The DVB plum was glycerol based BBA Victoria Plum- they had some very good flavours.

Dont know whether you can still get it through Galaxy baits that took DVB over.

Jason Rider makes a plum bait maybe worth asking

Hinders offer a plum boilie. A guy on one of my old syndicates is with them and used to get them made for him, a tweak of the c food boilie and they released them. The barrel hookbaits are more than decent

Thank you all. it would have been the Ritchworth. quite an addictive smell. and it was the 1st boilie i ever caught on, even though it was a Tench, it had me hooked.

Never used it myself, but do remember the constant catch reports from Broadlands saying “caught on a Richworth Plum Royal pop up, over a pva bag of trout pellets” lol

It had quite a few fish kills didn't it.

We had a CarpForum social there many moons ago (Edit: June 2004) I believe the only carp that were caught were grass carp, the others strains 'weren't around' ... shame we never knew before booking/paying

i was probably one of them. I was in the Richworth syndicate down there back in the day, i caught my first 20, my first double and my first 30 down there as a teenager.

White chocolate banana ester or plum royale were all winners

The most well known plum flavoured boilie is almost certain the B5 from Essential baits. But if you are looking for plum hookbaits the new RG baits sugar plum are worth a look.
