Yep Tyrone. Not sure he rolls nowadays, maybe for pals but I done well on the Aqua Reds with Pink Zing and was a big banger of the LVB drum back in the day. Even got accused of working for them

Anyone ever heard of ocean fresh ? I loved their strawberry and there mussel and pepper I think it's called but haven't seen it in years I think the owner use to own a tackle shop down Trent road in Chelmsford.

Cliff ran Ocean Fresh.

Same guy who runs Crafty Catcher now.
Was lucky to get free bait for a couple of years and Oily Crab always did well when used. Red Shrimp & Garlic was another.

Gone off track a bit, so sorry to the OP

Ocean Fresh was years ago in Holland also available.
Not for sale at the moment?
Oily Crab did some good catches.

The Crafty Catcher King Prawn in shelf life or freezer is still a good bait.

Crafty Catcher make baits for a number of tackle shops as well as their own range.
