Hello everyone, just got some bags of 20 millies of Mainline shelf life Link Boilies

Any experiences with this bait? I've been using sucesfully the Salty Squid ones, even on the heart of winter with very hard conditions, but there's not so much info here in Spain since Mainline is not as popular as another countries or UK obviously

Any advice? I mostly fish reservoirs and gravel pits

Tight lines

I would t worry about it. Use with confidence. Mainline is one of the best off the shelf baits you can buy, regardless of what some people say

Many thanks m8

I was just wondering cause most of people seem to only give attention to the Cell ones, and Link seemed pretty decent to me

So happy with the results on them by now, getting fish responding to it in hard and pressured waters very quicky.

Had never heard of that one lol
Google says that was released on 05.

I was using yucatan in 1990 and 1991 as I caught a lake record on the flavour in one of my rolled baits.
So around September 91 as itโ€™s the year my eldest was bornin January and I was fishing evenings Monday and Wednesdays on my way home from work ๐Ÿ‘.
When I smelt the link I was instantly taken back.

Ultraplex was a vanilla scented fishmeal with fruit oils, and molasses i believe. I think the link is supposed to be just fishy but i believe there may be something else in there, or i picked up on something lol

Richworth Crab & Mussel was deadly for big Tench, had quite a few doubles on it 'back in the day'. Cast straight into weed and the Tench ripped it up to get to the bait, nuts!

Didn't Richworth also do the multiplex and possibly bioplex?

Its that the tackle box catalogue?

Richworth did some quality products, i loved there Scopex bait spray for floaters and their fishmeal pop up mix. I had a season on one water on multiplex and did alright. Never used the Ultraplex, my mate gave me 20kg and i decided to use it as feed bait with my other bait, fish went nuts for it, rolling over the bait like bream just after i had put it in lol.
