I think some came from a small company in or around Bromley at some point, I also can't remember the name but want to say it started with a D but could be completely wrong. Not that it matters, he seems very happy with his current supplier (ABS) now any way.

At one time Jay was having his baits rolled by three different companies, one of which was Nash. In fact more than one of his baits were on Nash basemixes with his added extras.

They've done some absolute crackers over the years. Whiskey and monster pursuit, along with Jays strawberry were the best of the bunch.

I think Jays amber attract was still rolled by Nash. I had it years later (maybe 2008) and it came in Nash bags. At one point you could order a-bait full back catalogue for a minimum order..

I know Jason Rider done a version of the Amber Attract but then a external company was rolling it, im not sure if they still do it.

I remember using amber attractor with Scopex when it first came out….well over 30 years ago. A quality bait, I used to end up eating it myself it had so much biscuit meal in it!
Sting and success pack was another good one. Haven’t touched them for years tbh but they had a great range post Catchum.

The Sting was an absolute gamechanger for me. I only stopped using it when they changed the recipe.

They certainly did and it's a super efficient setup with virtually no waste.
I'm a bit baffled about the whole thing. Years ago you could ask them to make a tweaked or completely one off bait and, providing you were willing to buy a whole mix, they'd make it for you. In recent times they have been so busy making the standard baits (tonnes and tonnes) that they didn't have the capacity to make one offs. How does that business go bust? Bewildering!

To be fair, although Scopex Squid has had several slightly different versions, it is still a great bait and Gary himself still uses it on some decent waters. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't pay £14.99 for it, but I don't know many people in Essex who pay full price for bait from Nash or Mainline.

Amber Attract is the best bait of theirs I ever used by some way. The original ScopexSquid was excellent too. Why on earth they chose to end those is beyond me, just like you say.
Trouble for them is, when the original SS was launched they were the only firm selling a squid bait. When they did it this latest time, as mentioned in my last post, 597 other bait firms brought out the exact same bait, at the exact same time. All because Baracel launched a new squid liquid.
So instead of a great, unique bait like previously…. They are relying on fan boys wanting to be in the Nash gang to sell it with media. Not because it’s an exceptional unique bait. There’s no substance to that without the stand out product. Unfortunately that’s the world we live in now.
Gary Bayes was a bait making legend, who learned his trade in the Catchum shop under Rod Hutchinson. He also fished waters like Fen Drayton, he’s a truly great carp angler. Alan Blair & co are media lads, a little bit ‘urban’, listen to DnB & pump pump pump on socials constantly… Fish in Nash’s back garden. What do people really expect from that, great products?
Everyone seems to think that social media is the absolute be all & end all these days regarding selling stuff in carp fishing. Absolute balls is it though. The quality of product is still the most important thing, bar none. No product… No long term future. No matter how much free media they push out to sell the stuff. Yeah you will pull the wool over noddies eyes for a while, basking on former glories… But there’s zero long term future in it without the actual great product. It’s sad that these great companies who gave so much to carp fishing even went that way in the first place IMO. Style over substance with a bucket hat & some olive Nike trainers. Kevin Nash went to the absolute top of the carp fishing tree in the trade, with outstanding unique products designed by himself when he was younger, with Gary Bayes doing the bait. Top notch stuff back in the day. Not free media.
I sound like a right miserable old ‘see you next Tuesday’. 😂
Kevin Nash came up with so much tackle wise, the lead clip being the absolute greatest of them all. Hopefully that tackle side will still flourish for him going forwards.
