The Eton Mess samples you gave me tasted and smelled so good, I ate them myself!

First session of the year due to work and brought the samples Gav sent with me…….stuck on a snowman of 18mm ultraplex / 12mm sting and fished it to a reedbed on its own in a small shallow bay…….30 mins later a stockie 10lb mirror…….

It’s no problem lads, it was just a mistaken date and time. Lots of anglers change bait more than I change my underwear!
I change it daily if anyone is asking 😂

Didn't you make the same comment on the Facebook page,which caused the angler to explain himself to you.I don't see why he bothered to be honest as it's non of your business.

I caught a double figure Barble from the Nene last year on a Ronnie rig pop up I obviously wasn’t targeting Barble
Was a bit of a surprise though

That is an old fish, from one of the other baits I worked on before. Jason is an incredibly good river angler and carp angler. Really nice chap too!

That’s the chap who caught an 18 on another bait a couple of weeks ago isn’t it ? Thames barbel were never that fussy , any decent bait was acceptable in the right place, not least a method feeder with a big lump of Garlic Spam .

Just posted another double from the Thames today! If the herb fails as a carp bait it will certainly make it as a good barbel bait 😂

. Years back using John bakers base mixes as paste as a wrap or hookbait was effective and probably what you newer barbel anglers are still doing? Except maybe I used river water or LO30 not eggs,and wrapping around a few hookers from a single egg mix.
The very best barbel/chub/ river carp bait I ever used by a country mile was CC Moore Ocean HNV paste mixed with LO30 ,no eggs. This was in the 90’s on The Thames , never saw another barbel angler.
Egg powder with either river/lake water or hydros opens up huge variation possibilities.
I take large amounts to France on the rivers , feed paste and fish a skinned hookbait over the top. The leak off speeds up bite times in my view. With eggs that would be complicated.
Or go to the Thames with a kilo of powder and mix it up as needed, just a few hookers needed.
So looking forward to your base mixes being available, I am sure they will be a winner like the rest of your range .
