Quote... What's the F1?
F1 stands for Fruits 1. It's a blend of 16 different nature identical fruit based flavours, a couple of essential oils & organic acids. Essentially on the S2 base mix, with milk & fruit powders added. They are bubblegum pink colour.

Well done Sam. Do you remember you were all worried when you joined that syndicate? I'd say you have done alright
Thanks mate, I've had the best season of my life this year, I it's probably because haven't messed about with rigs, or bait 😅

Forum member Sam (Leeroyjenkins) 43lb10oz from his Devon syndicate today before work. Sam had a big order that was going this week whilst I was on my way back from holiday. I asked work to stick him in a tub of F1, he's been catching so many recently on pink S2. He only got them on Thursday.
First night using them last night, just before packing up for work this afternoon. I am guessing that he did not have them on all three rods either. We have taken so many orders for F1 yesterday and today. There's a nice little confidence booster for any of you who have them coming on Monday.
Well done Sam. Do you remember you were all worried when you joined that syndicate? I'd say you have done alright

You will have them Matt. It will be easier for you with these because you are a fishmeal lover. The S2 and the GPB1 are both non fishmeal. That's never going to work inside your head for confidence, unless you start having them right from the off. To much doubt.
Your order is going Monday. Xmas post is slowing things a touch now.

I have taken a leap of faith and ordered a tub of the 13mm GPB2 Popups and a tub of 16mm GPB2 balanced wafters.

Yes I have to say I think I am going to try the GPB2 and stick with it. I agree it must be a confidence thing. I don't change any other aspect of my angling anymore. I even stick to the same boilie(s) which has taken me many years to get to.

The S2 & the GPB1 will catch ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE Carpbandit.
You have answered your own questions in your last post. Confidence is absolutely everything. Confidence means you are not thinking about stupid things like "shall I change this, or shall I change that". Confidence means you are fishing well, and applying yourself to the things that really matter. Not worrying yourself about silly things, that are not the reason why you are not catching.
I have said this before on here, the difference between a really good angler, and an angler with zero confidence... Is that the the really good angler understands that he is not going to smash the carp every single time he goes fishing. That's impossible, especially fishing lower stock syndicates. But he changes nothing toolwise. The only changes are watercraft changes. He understands that for a whole variety of reasons beyond his control, the carp are not going to be throwing themselves up the bank every single time he goes fishing. When things are right again, he is using the best rig, with the best bait, and he will smash it.
Some anglers lack confidence. They will blame their line, their hooks, their bait, anything and everything except the fact that they did not fish that well... Or simply that the fish for whatever reason, were not playing ball. That can be conditions, or the fish were smashed last week and are all sitting in the snags. Two blanks and they have changing everything. The stars align, but they have changed everything now. They blank again, when they should be hauling. It's a vicious circle, that 90% of carp anglers get stuck in.
I made a statement on here when I first joined. "There is absolutely NOTHING man made that you can cast into a lake, that is as attractive to a carp as an S2". That has changed now though.
The GPB1 & GPB2 are better than the S2. They are everything the S2 was, and then a whole lot more. But there is still an entire an army of anglers all over the country, that would never even try either hook bait. The reason, is confidence in the S2. It works both ways. Confidence is everything. Stick with them. You will have the session of your lifetime, and from that moment on EVERYTHING will change for you. You will no longer go fishing 'worrying' about silly things.
You will go fishing and start catching more carp than everyone else around you.
I have lost count of the amount of CF members, who have contacted me, and flat out told me that our hook baits have absolutely transformed their fishing. Not caught a few and are happy. Transformed it, to another dimension. That should be you.
If you are a fishmeal fan. There is nothing that will even come close to our GPB2.

This is the thing though right, it depends on the lake.. see I have tried the S2s on my previous lake and couldn't catch on them and the GBP1 on my current lake and couldn't catch on them, however I can't see how they wouldn't catch, but I am an out and out fishmeal user so to me the GBP2 Make sense and the ingredients will work brilliantly (in my head) which is probably the key. As someone has said, there is probably an element of not leaving it out long enough to see the results or using it as often as i would my go to hookbait. So it's probably having faith and sticking with it.
I really want them to work for me as I have seen the results others have had with them.
It's a funny old game isn't it. I do kinda feel like I must not be getting the best out of the hookbaits when I've used them. OR maybe it was just bad conditions and I would have blanked regardless.

But funny that, can’t buy a bite on the gbp 1s or 2s.
Even went through a stage of stubbornly using them as it must be me.
Back on s2/3’s and away they went.
Funny thing fishing.
