Jezz with a 107lb+ brace yesterday morning. At 4:30am he landed the big common from Wellington Country Park at 53lb... At 6:30am he followed that up with Drop Scale at 54lb6oz. That has to be one of the biggest brace of carp ever landed in the UK surely?

S2 white 13mm crushed cork pops, fished over No Nuts 20mm freezer baits.

Two messages that came in within two minutes of each other. Richie with a gorgeous linear on an S3 as a single hook bait. Chris with what's likely the biggest fish in Woolpack 5&6 currently, in the net last night, & it's a belter. One of the last two he desperately wants to catch. Hutchie balanced as a single hook bait.

Quote... Absolutely yes to that. The curry/Indian spice/ garlic label is far and away my all time go to in a bait. Put onto your S2 it’s a match made in heaven.

Karlos will have some Curry S2 & some Whiskey S2 to have a little play with within the next couple of weeks. It will be up to him which one he decides will be the CF exclusive.

Dan Belkon with the end of a ten year personal obsession earlier this year... When you work full time, have a young family... Then watch close friends catch your dream on a guest session with you... In the same swim, on hook baits that you have given them (S2)... But you can still be so happy for them... No one ever deserved it more than Dan did.

Dan with the Golden from the park, with friends & his children sharing the moment. GPB2.

all this talk of Whiskey & Cognac - anyone ever used booze as a soak or similar? Everyone knows about a splash of Baileys in the winter but I'm more speaking about neat spirits. I did mess about soaking some baits in Brandy one winter, years ago, but nothing really conclusive came about for me...........decided it was better in my coffee than in the fish!

Ooh nice, I do like a spicy bait. They seem to be a take anywhere kind of thing. The other thing I'd like to see if something more along the particles flavouring. Something like a hemp bait or maize maybe

I know Ian, but that would have zero bearing on anything that we released. It would have absolutely zero of the same ingredients in, even down to the Whiskey. So it does not matter how anyone fared on that. It would be an absolutely completely different thing.

We have some incredible curry & spice additives from the food industry that I'm dying to use in something. They smell irresistible after being put through our process.
