Hi guy's and gal's, I made some of my own Tigernut & chilli,they have caught every where I have used them,the best feeling in the world is to catch a carp or any fish on a bait or lure that you have made yourself,fanbloodytastic!! Very Happy

In the old days Trev ...you had to make your own as there was not bait companys Shocked

Must admit its been a few years since I made my own though Neutral

Hi Al, have you had any joy on the squid and scopex?

had all four fish to 31lbs last time out.

i have to say Nash is my preference however i'm not into paying full price for bait so it's what i can get a deal on. got a deal through a mate on the Nash at the moment, i'll be filling the freezer throughtout the year to make sure i have a year or two supply.

hey i like the look of that advert at the bottom of my previous post, 10kgs of halibut pellet for £9.99 www.iwantbait.com , going to have a look at that advert.

and there i was saying before that the adverts at the bottom of the posts were a bit annoying!

yep, just been on the site, prices are quite good, £6.50 shipping per 25kg nationwide, not bad at all but i'm sure they would let you collect from Sheffield if you were in the area.

Had a nice 12lb mirror on catcherbaits tiger&maple,also lost a massive cat(i think) on a richworth pineapple hawian pop up, 10 mins of pure power then it found a snag,nothing I could do, I think the cats go up to about 40lb in our lakes!!.
