Evening lads!!
It’s been a while since I have looked in on the forum but I’m waiting for the kettle to boil and I thought I’d see what’s occurring!
I hope you are all well and catching loads!!
I’ll try and and answer some of your questions but I can see some nice feedback on the thread so I assume all is well! Good luck to all of you new customers and yes the skipjack is very popular right now. I always knew this one was another big fish bait but I’m already bored of dealing with tuna fish in brine 😂😂😂😂😂
I watched a guy catch 3 big U.K. 40s on the bounce this weekend on it and I’ll share some more captures next time I’m on here hopefully!
Tight lines

I thought the same regarding the Herb and Sting fishmeal........Smells divine and certainly catches its fair share of fish!

The Sting and Super squid HBs are my go to hookbaits.......

Only problem I now have is what hookbaits to use with it. I’ll get the matching hard hookers and wafters obviously, but in my parcel today I also got wafters in Sting, Squid, MMT and Deep-C and they all smell amazing lol
Come to me little fishy...Gavs freebie plan working

In all honesty I put a hook bait list together at Xmas, it was ridiculously long, I'm amazed at my self restraint just ordering the matching 1's for the Tricknut (I'll tell the Mrs that...maybe leave out the DNA and AA bait order)

TBF to me I did order her a Solar Sofa Chair and today the Korum anychair table turned up for it...there's still got to be some good will mileage left...surely

Cheers for replies. My samples arrived today too. The Herb smells incredible, reminds me of the Sting Fishmeal shelflifes I did really well on years ago if I shut my eyes and inhale! Pretty sure I’m going to place and order for that next week. Only problem I now have is what hookbaits to use with it.

Every time I've ordered freezer bait it's turned up frozen in a polystyrene box (Inside a cardboard box)still frozen, then goes straight into the freezer at work no problems at all 👍

As Wayne said FB Messenger is your best bet (I've always had replies within an hour so so of asking the questions).

If you have FB it would be better to message Gav questions on there as he dont come on here much now due to the normal bait shenanigans that go on.........

Ordered some wafters and samples this morning, then found some wafters I’d missed and ordered some more lol.
Not used Handcraft before, so a quick question for Gav or anyone else who can answer it… if I was to order freezer bait, is it rolled fresh and sent out before freezing, or is it sent already frozen?
