I believe it was an isolate of something from the dairy industry, which is why the good quality versions have an almost creamy backnote.

Specialized S2's. I recently found out a few lads I know who absolutely bag up, had been using them for years too. I always thought they were my secret

Original scopex squid livers , BFM cranberry , Ocean protein which was awesome in its day

Nash Whisky, like 90% of Nash baits they discontinue.

Frank Warwick's white Hot Squid pop-ups.

Grange plum all day long.......made anglers at the time catch fish with ease......

Whiskey smelled great but I couldn't catch sod all on it.

Now that was 1 quality bait

We were using the original scopex squid livers as "testers" back in the 90s and rinsed many waters with it with ease. Sadly when foot and mouth hit we noticed a decline in results that were noticeable by a mile. I spoke with Gary at Nash and he said that the screening on most fishmeals now due to changes in base ingredients was responsible for the decline. He couldn't get the raw ingredients he used to be able to due to government legislation. A shadow of its former self sadly. It was a really incredible bait back in its day.

I've had 3 baits over the years that for me have been outstanding. First was the original Nash Sting, I was gutted when that changed and IMO was never anywhere near as effective. Second was a bait calked Spicy Sausage & Raw Liver from a small company in Devon called Cyprobaits. I was lucky enough to meet them while on holiday down there many years ago. That was seriously confidence in a bag. And thirdly & currently Hydro K from ABS....

In no particular order, depending on situation

Sweetcorn
Tigers
Home rolled original BFM with 3 to 1 Peach & Cranberry, and salmon oil.

Zenon Bojko's Essential Opal, Gutted when they stop rolling them, Wish i had the recipe to roll my own.

Baitworks - Scent from Hell pop-ups/ wafters

Elite Baits - Ocean Fruit

Shoreline Baits - GLM Sausage oil

Cyprobaits was owned run by Gary Thomas ,based in Cornwall,lanner....

Well known for his College lake exploits and his wife Alisons pic on the front cover of Carpworld .

He is or was a commercial sea Fisherthem...lol...tied up or was with Mainline baits,...helped me out loads when we did a sponsored fish on another local ressi ,for Children's hospice Southwest ..in the early 90s


Not to be confused with Cypri baits or similar a Dutch flavour house..

Another for the original BFM with Cranberry, Nutramino and Salmon oil. (Julian Cundiff recipe)?
Loved the Enervite Gold with the the old Nash Chocolate and Minamino when the temps dropped.
Singles would have to be a yellow NS1.
