That sting has served me so well. The trouble is now that I have so many brilliant little products in my box that I’m not sure which one I want to cast out! It is also easy to see that the very venues which were proving tricky with bright hookbaits in the summer are now producing the goods on them again. The sting is still our biggest seller!

The Sting wafter saved me a blank this weekend. Moved to another lake on site for a few hours after struggling for a night in the main lake and managed to nick a bite and had a pretty mid double. Nothing special but any carp is welcome this time of year and the Sting seems to work everywhere I've tried it so far

I very much doubt that you will be stealing any of gav's customers. Handcraft is doing some really great things
I thought id put the name up. I looked it up because people were asking. A simple facebook search was all that it took

Well lads, I have just returned from a session where I chased those slippery little buggers around two lakes and all to no avail. However everyone else seems to have faired much better. Lots of love for banoffee, tutti, sting and tricknut this weekend and tomorrow being our last day looks like another chaotic one. I’m working through all the pms and all of the ones on our social media whilst trying to be a good dad 😂
All I will say is that the positivity about all we are doing is a breath of fresh air for me right now. Long may it continue!

I won’t mention that on this post out of respect to Gav, only reason I’ve ever referred to it is so people understand where my views come from

What’s your bait company out of interest

Same here you can't use a throwing stick until dusk and even spombs don't guarantee every bait getting to the bottom. Small baits have a better percentage chance. However if everyone is using 12 mm it would be good to use 24mm. I'm loathe to spomb at feeding time. Wish I could afford night vision goggles to improve my nightime throwing stick skills.

I'm not lol. Seeing my glorious Albion cheated for points with wolves made me jump back on the forum to escape reality

As a kid I made a ( very simple to be fair ) mix of CPSP90, caseins, glm and birdfood. it was a fantastic thing, I could only afford very small amounts though. a 4 egg mix would last the whole weekend, you just had to bait clever not erratically.
Around my way I reckon a good 15% of all the boilies used are taken by gulls, they even dive after the spombs now. so if someone is willing to bait at night / cast intermittently theres a saving to be had there. and certainly a preferable saving to make rather than compromise on the quality of the one thing the carp needs to show interest in.

It is a shame that a huge part of the market are only interested if the price is right. Our expensive bait will be the lowest selling bait (a sad fact) from now on but I also understand not everyone has endless money to buy bait. My words of advice are, if it’s really cheap then think carefully. And once again, if money is really tight (trust me it has been for me this year) then buy 5kg of good bait rather than 20kg of crap in a deal. Treat every boilie like it’s your last!!
