Mark - sorry if this has been asked before, but how do the TC2s compare to the GBP2 in terms of "softness"?

They will be very similar in that regard, as they contain exactly the same amount of soluble fishmeal.

Andy, 2nd biggest mirror & biggest original in the 60+ fully lake. S2.

Soon Colors. As I said before, as soon as we clear the rush for TC2, they will be added to the website. If that cannot happen soon enough, we MIGHT do a run of special orders for them on CarpForum like before. But it will be better for them to go straight on the website.

Russ was one of the anglers who was given two tubs of the S2 specials from us. He used to be the Saturday boy in the Tackle Box when he was younger. So giving him some of the TB ones seemed logical. Now he's an electrician, with a very young family. He gets one, or sometimes two nights a week, at the weekend.

He started fishing a non publicity venue in Essex last November. Red carded in months. He caught them all, bar one fish. The biggun twice, two weeks running, another very sort after fish twice as well. The fish he caught this Spring on the Red Berry & Vanilla S2 & The Scopex & Pineapple S2, are nothing short of incredible. I wish I could show you what he banked from the normally 6 or 7 fish a year syndicate. But I can't. They would take your breath away.

He just started on MVF Brooklands syndicate in Kent. A tough venue, fished by very good anglers.

Russ, Brooklands 42lb+ Red Berry & Vanilla S2. Russ has caught an incredible amount of 40+ this year on the turbo versions of the S2. Proper ones too.





Forum member Ben. First trip back to his syndicate after a few weeks in SA. What a lovely big carp well done Ben. S2 bottom bait barrel.



Forum member Gary, S2



Alan Woolpack, Cheese 1 over Creamino



Dave, Woolpack, pink S2 over Trent Shrimp



Chris Woolpack, Cheese 1, over Creamino

No one whatsoever in terms of carp anglers, has even seen the Rod Hutchinson S2 yet. No need.

He is a small part of the reason why the hook baits even work in the way in which they do in the first place. The S2 that will bear his name, are appropriately spectacular (in my view) for that exact reason.

The vast bulk of the TC2 orders will be going today & tomorrow. You should expect delivery tomorrow, Weds & Thurs.

We will have loads more DNA Bug ready next week. Please do not message asking for them today after reading this. I will say the moment they are ready for sale, I'll say on here.

The two blokes below are the very first to get sent the Rod Hutchinson S2. It will be very interesting to see how they both get on with those.

Lee Petty's better Dinton White Swan captures since just before Xmas on S2 16mm crushed corks, always over Trent Shrimp freezer baits. Lee has had a bite on every single trip since he started using our hook baits. That is quite something, on somewhere like White Swan.


Repeat capture of Son Of Triple Row 45lb+. White S2



45lb+, S2



39b+, white S2



32lb+, S2



Russ again, MVF Brooklands, Scopex & Pineapple S2

Guys totally new to these hookbaits so apologies.


Will the 13mm crushed cork hold up a stiff hinge ok?

Can you use them with a bait screw?

Thanks all

Yes to both...kind of.
I wouldn't advise a bait screw if you are leaving them out a long time, it's highly likely they will go soft and fall off...(in my experience) just use a tiny topper to be safe

I use the crushed corks with bait screws , never had any issues. The metal screws are the ones i use, the plastic ones I find absolutely useless
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
