Pretty sure Great White is the same, but Wasp and Zing have been tweaked. I think it’s more in anglers heads that the fishes! They are tweaks so I can’t see it being a problem if it does change. Jay knows what he’s doing!

Have a look on the website, he normally says what he’s changed in the bait on there.

I've seen people say that about Jay's baits, I presumed it was just the variations / one offs that he changed all the time? I was going to check but hoped that the main baits, Great white / Sting / Plum were all the same each batch? Or that's not the case?

I had looked at ABS some years back, will give it another look but there used to be a pretty vast range which made deciding even harder

Out of the ones mentioned I’d go with Jas’s bait, but don’t forget he does chop and change the recipe’s (whether that bothers you).

I know you didn’t want an alternative, but Geoff at ABS rolls the bait for Jason, and he does stabilised for most of his baits.

As title, have used DNA for the last 4 seasons or so but just fancy a change.

Bug has been my go to but the last couple of seasons it's not smelt / felt the same as when it first came out, know it will change due to ingredients available but still, have maybe lost a little confidence in it.

So my question is.. Do I try another DNA bait? I've dabbled with S7/SLK/Switch but didn't have great results on them ( can't say I really gave them that long ) but I know S7+SLK get generally very well spoken about.
S7 used to be much redder in colour so presume they changed some ingredients / less Robin red or whatever it was.

Other ones I have narrowed it down to are -

A Bait
Possibly Sticky? But think I'd prefer to use a smaller company


Guess I'm after reviews of any of the above, preferably not recommendations of more companies as that will only add to my indecision 😂

After 2 different baits from any of the above, they must be shelf life as I don't have freezer space otherwise I would likely use Poacher.

I generally use Specialized for many of my hook baits.
