Handcraft baits tricknut is up there with the best.

A proper nut boilie made out of Brazil meal, cashews, coconut, peanut chunks, bird foods, peanut protein, low fat milks, marine products, and mineral boosting supplements.
We wanted the chunkiest and most coarse boilie that we could physically roll yet keep the cleanest finish possible! This boilie is a soluble and sweet creamy tasting nutmeal that contains one of the best peanut flavours that we have ever seen in the U.K.
Combined with a hint of choc malt, hydro liquid liver and a cream element that you will taste in each bite, it really is a nut lovers dream!
The marine extracts give the bait salts, vitamins and minerals which we know the carp need in their diet and we know that you guys expect nothing less than a good food source from the handcraft team.

When I wrote the thread on the RMC forum about nut based boiled baits, it was specifically about the T&M. That thread was some nineteen or twenty years ago now.... I'd already been using that freezer bait for years. There were a couple of nut baits on sale when I wrote that thread. They sold F all. They had to be preordered and were not even kept in stock.

T&M was not. It was THE bait from that company. It was designed by real carp anglers, who REALLY understood the effects of real nuts on carp. That's why they followed a different path to everyone else. Not people influenced by media telling them what to do. Not someone making a nut bait because that's what sells. There's a massive difference between those things.

I had person after person telling me I was wrong when I wrote that thread. Fishmeal was king. Cheap crap nut baits apparently... I already knew from experience they were all 100% wrong. Now look at the market... Even all the people who used to de cry them because they sold or rolled fish meals, now have a nut bait. The proliferation of real nuts for carp fishing was started in Kent. Same as later, nut based freezer baits came from Kent.

I'm not making any comments about anyone else's bait whatsoever, it would be crass too.... But there's a whole lot more going down than what is being spoken about here by others. No one is going to put that online. Anglers just guess, then speak about the guesses like they are quoting the gospel. But they are not.

I always find it funny in carp fishing, how the folks who follow on from others, then want to denigrate the very people that they follow. I suppose it's just human nature and a need to sell products. If you are making a nut based boiled bait.... You are following on from these people.

I was thinking the same thing. When I was selling bait my nut bait had over 30% nut in it. It’s not just about tiger nuts either. Mine had peanut protein isolate in it for example. I’m sure plenty of other bait companies put all manner of nut products in.

I am sure its a fine bait but how do you know its 'the highest concentration of freshly milled tiger nuts'? I can think of two other bait companies that also mill there own ingredients and I am sure other do as it also keeps costs down plus quality up.

Poacher's don't do shelfies though, but the frozen versions are excellent as you say!!

Poacher baits Tiger Nut n Maple is the best you’ll find, it has the highest concentration of freshly milled tiger nuts, which is far superior to those that use tiger nut flour or meal

ABS MCnut is an outstanding bait, the MC is an abbreviation for maple cream (obviously)
