See a Fj6 is also on offer. What's the difference other than cold rating?.

I noticed that too. From what I read it's slightly longer, couldn't find anything about the fit though.

I just bought one without trying any on. I would forget the usual S,M,L etc and look at the chest measurements from their size chart, which from my purchase is perhaps the best way to hopefully get the right fit.

Fj6 is designed by Fortis (made by Snugpak) for fishing with longer body and sleeves. Not as high warmth rating as sj9 but plenty warm enough for any uk fishing conditions.

Do DNA normally do a black Friday deal? If they do does it normally overlap with the baitworks offer?

I'm tempted by the 20% baitworks are offering makes it cheaper than standard DNA prices by quite a bit so if DNA are going to do something it should be decent.

Or is baitworks a better bait anyway and I shouldn't worry about it and just buy baitworks 😂😂😂?

Personally rate Baitworks very highly. I've used DNA and can't knock it but equally not planning on switching any time soon

I got a 1 kg bundle to try last spring and was impressed. Can't remember why I didn't buy any more other than the price versus others probably.

DNA has done OK late summer and autumn too - so it's just down to price at the end of the day and based on the quantity I'm after baitworks is about £40 cheaper at the moment
