Thank you Cam. I'm absolutely useless with the computer stuff

All of them Andy. But I would say especially so the ScopexPineapple, Banoffee, Hutchie or Fizz, all of which are S2's. The S2 are the ultimate cold water bait. They have a long history of excelling every single winter when the water gets cold.

S2's will work at any time of the year, for one main reason, IMO. SUGAR.

One of the most addictive substances available to buy freely. Government and the food industry can and do deny it's addictiveness, because, well, money.

The 'standard' version of the S2's have been by far my most successful from SHB. Had a couple of decent fish out on the GBP1's but nothing like what I have had on the S2's.

Even when I've used them side by side on highly stocked lakes, they usually outperform the Garlics for me.

I've not given the newer flavoured S2's a go yet, though did buy some. It will be interesting to see how these perform against the original.

Yep, I'd agree with that. Pink original S2 wafters. Far and away the most successful hookbait I've ever used in colder weather.

Just got on the hype train by buying a pot of the GPB 2 from johnsonross. If they work as good as they smell, I'm hoping for a bumper week in France at the end of the month. Will almost certainly be trying the S2's in some flavour over the colder months.

The GPB2's are deadly. Loved using them with chods over a wide baited silty area.

im far from tight when it comes to fishing, but sometimes if I drop on for a few hours it seems a waste to bin these baits after onlyba few hours in the water....anyone dry these out and re use them.l if they've only been used for a short session...times are hard lol

No , you're definitely not being tight, I usually leave mine rigged up and chuck them out again after a day session.
Never really noticed this to be detrimental to my fishing, although if a hookbaits hanging on for dear life, I'll have a change.
