Another vote for the Whiskey S2 👍
Also something along the lines of the old Indian spice/garlic combo.

Some great suggestions already. Keep them coming.
We have everything that has been mentioned already, ready to go if that what Karl decides he wants. Three already for the Whiskey. I have a malt whiskey flavour from Brazil that's the absolute dogs danglies. A Cognac flavour too from the same source.
None of them have been used by us as yet.
It's Johnson Ross who are having the PPP S2. Peach Pineapple & Black Pepper EO Sugars2.
TackleBox are having GPB-Ming Oil. Which absolutely stink to high heaven.

A whisky S2 would be the nuts.... if a decent whisky flavour still exists?

All good things come to an end mate. Back to the grindstone!
Forum hookbait would be good - thats a cool idea.
I think you have most of the classic fruit/sweet combos already covered with the S2s and S4s, that peach one you might be running for one of the tackle shops really completes that circle.
I'd have a vote for something on the more savoury style side - like a liver original sense appeal/liver oil.... not many of those around.
Or an absolutely hanging but subtle fishy/crabby one

I'm sure everyone has their favourites. I'd go for something like maple cream or maple/scopex in off-white or beige or a tutti/tropical fruit (BAF) in pale orange.

Second that! I love the GPB1s but whiskey S2 would be amazing

Take it back old skool (at least from when I was growing up), how about aniseed?
Failing that, an alcohol based one, give me nostalgic moments of Nash Whiskey Boilies 
Regardless of it's flavour profile, if it's on the S2 base (I assume it will be, being a winter bait) then it will be a winner anyway!

Any chance of something in an orange colour?
Could go all out a Xmas theme and go down the cinnamon, gingerbread route. Then we can all wear Santa hats in catch photos

+1, secret agent/fenugreek type.
Edit, if not too similar to a existing one that is.
Edit2 barrel bottom baits too.

Something spicy, maybe along the curry flavours route. Fenugreek, tumeric,chilli that kind of thing?

I know that I must come across as a right moaning git sometimes. It's often for things that you lot never know about though.
It's nice to inspire people. But there's also a line. The order shown is from 2014, it was for our S1 & S2. Three years later the bloke set up his own bait company. Thought it was a good idea to name his companies airball/cardboard pop ups SS1 & SS2. That crosses the moral line.
It's absolutely savage as far as I'm concerned.
They also approached an angler who had got free stuff from us, offered him free freezer bait straight off the bat. He'd been a long term customer of ours. That eventually progressed to him getting the stuff for free. Natural & honest. I was actually bigging up this bait company for said angler on our socials.... Including on here. To help the angler, not them. Then I found out about the SS1 & SS2 hook baits. So in my head, one of the only blokes at the time who got free stuff from us, was now promoting someone trying their best to rip us off. Or at least a play on our hook baits names. I wrongly on my part had to let the angler go in my head. It was a very bad/stupid decision on my part. We remained friends & spoke pretty regular. He jogged them on not long after this & we later laughed about it all. At the time none of it was funny whatsoever. I am sending John more kit tomorrow for the first time in a couple of years. It was never his fault. It was this bloke heres fault. Watching, trying to capitalise on the exposure John was getting with us. While also trying to pull a fast one for any new customer googling our hook baits clearly with those names. Not only the very close hook bait names, but targeting our anglers as well with instant free bait.... Just to try to get some exposure. John had rinsed White Swan to a level never seen before with our S2 over particle. Just particle. That attracts freezer bait firms, who also sell their own hook baits.
If it was you. If that was your life's work, something you put your heart & soul into for a long period of time... How would stuff like this make you feel? A little bit bitter? Would you just shrug it off? I often struggle to understand how to even deal with the stuff like this. There's so much of it goes on.
