Mark, will the GPB2 bottom bait barrels be in the shops anytime soon ?
If you could do the tackle box ones with the ming oil that would be fantastic π

You do what you want with them mate. They are yours. Flog them if you find them.

Superb old carp Steve. Great photos. I caught the snaglake mirror, from the snag lake a couple of times as a teenager before it had that name.

You know if you do make some GPB2 bal 20mm I would definetly take some, it would stop me messaging you about them like in the past Mark π€£π€£π€£ The 16mm are mega but a 20mm would be turbo charged with your wizardry π

Mark very kindly in the past has done me a few tubs of bigger baits as a custom order (long before the absolute blow up in sales they are currently experiencing).
They were for a trip to Thailand and they did me great. Particularly Amazon redtails loved them (my picture is a fish caught on one).
I'm pretty sure I have a full tub left, let me have a search this week and ill get a pot in the classifieds as long as its ok with Mark?
From memory they a GLP1 in 24mm

Interesting what you say about the bait sizes! 20mm would suit me fine as and when you get round to them. Iβd only be interested in the fishy/savoury varieties personally, so will keep my eyes open on what you make in the future ππ».
Ahhh, Road & Island, that brings back memories! I never did loads, but did really enjoy my time on thereβ¦

For everyone else making bait in any form, bigger is always better Steve. You know that from rolling your own. Bigger = less work.
For us the complete opposite is true though, bigger, is FAR more work, because rolling the baits is such a small part of the equation work wise for us. Drying bigger baits out between each go through our process adds so much time & so much extra electricity costs to the equation.
It also adds extra costs in terms of materials used. A 20mm bait will take sooo much more liquids to produce than a 13mm hook bait will. Five times they go through the process, so everything gets multiplied by five.
20mm would be the biggest we did. I did some 24mm for a friend... They took forever to produce. Cost us a fortune. He did catch all of the special ones left in Road & Island on them though.

You're very welcome Dave.
The charger & the battery have both lived their lives inside the same room as this drier below. That's why they absolutely stink of a mix of curried/cherrycoke/tutti/monstercrab/squided/garlic vapour with some added ming oil on top. If you want to have a real taste.... Don't lick the battery... You need to lick the slimy film on the inside of that plastic cover. That's seriously intense π

There are plans for a 20mm balanced yes mate.

Hi Mark, any plans to do any bigger wafters/balanced baits ie 20mm, for those of us fishing waters where itβs suicide using anything smaller, due to the numbers of roach and bream etc? I get that 24mm or bigger would be pointless as youβd only get about 10-12 in a tub, but feel 20mm would be doable?

Thanks mate..I'll have to keep my eyes open for when they hit the shelves. Although I expect I'll need to be quick
