What is the shelflife of the shelflife bait if kept in the correct condition ?

How about a light brown fishmeal with the Deep C attractor package? That would be awesome!

Robin red Fishmeals catcher of big carp since the mid to late 80's
For some reason they do seem to pick out the bigger fish. That's why I think Terry Hearn puts so much faith in them. Arnt Sticky bring out a Robin red Fishmeal?

If I could only use one it would be the Herb,had a lovely 17/18lb mirror early hours this morning.The lake has been fishing very badly this year and 12mm herb with a small dumbell wafter has done the business again .

Its not specifically the carps reaction to the red bait that i am bothered about more so the coots that are my biggest problem on a specific low stock carp water with a sandy bottom, the red fishmeals stand out so clearly even washed out.
I got some of the skipjack off you last week to see if it will be harder for them to locate, i have thought of trying a nut based bait as that will probably blend even better plus the the head of very big bream may not be as drawn to a nut bait?
The lake i am fishing is a very difficult lake with a few stockies and the very old originals which is what i am fishing for with some success but they will not not pick up a bright hookbait pink, yellow, white, orange etc all my fish are falling to natural subtle coloured hoobaits

When we first produced the finished article that is now the herb, we all kind of said the same thing and we watched a lot of carp on two lakes in particular feed on the herb from late winter into early spring.
The carp never showed signs of spooking off the bait, in fact it was the reverse! They homed in on the baited area and when our guys got together to share the early results they all said how good the first ever response was to the bait.
I actually think that 99 percent of what we throw into a lake is hi viz.
Most boilies are pale
Pellets go pale
Corn is bright yellow
Particles are bright
Therefore another bright boilie makes no difference to the carp. If they like eating something then they will stay and feed regardless of colour.
The birds however are a different matter.
Skipjack is reverse engineered from herb but with different additives, liquids and of course tuna fish but the colour was tweaked to avoid bloody coots!!

I think a brown version of the herb would have done very well, The red herb obviously catches a lot of fish and is very successful but i personally think the red stands out to much over most of the bottoms i fish, i always seem to do better on brown baits

I think the 3 main baits we sell will find a place in many of you guys angling at some point. I have worked my way through dozens and dozens of recipes over the years and most of them have something in common.
If you are going to try them then start with the herb! That one is just so effective. Today I have opened my social media (sorry to mention Facebook 😂  and the messages and catch reports on it are like nothing I have seen before. Shelf life herb is very good too.
It’s got a huge following and we could just make that one bait and survive now.
When I made it I was tempted to make it brown/ natural colour but l love the haiths robin red and I have seen how good those proper red fishmeals can be.
I do wonder what the brown version would have taken off like!

I use both, S7 & Tricknut, going to be hard for me to stop using S7!
@Gav
Hope you had a good break
I keep meaning to come on here and share some mega carp but I guess you can see them on our social media if you want to. I don’t look here as much as I used to
Honestly, sort your s**t out.
Even for you  there's no way I'm ever going on social media voluntarily , especially to look at pictures of other people ( who I don't aspire to be like, and am not envious of) fishy pictures (that on the whole I wouldn't want to fish for and would probably never get the opportunity to anyway )
I was forced to twice, once by a syndi that only communicated by FB (if you call a lot of the scribblings communication, could be another language for all I know), and once by a club because I was fishing and unbeknown to me there was a work party slated and they only told people by FB 
Ramblings over, go and slag me off on social medial folks fill your boots ...and that was all said in jest to a point, FB can kiss my a***.
