Hello mate just seen it come through! I’ll be on it tomorrow and I’ll put samples in for you too!
It will be a very busy week again!
Apologies to the guys on here who I haven’t replied to but I am sort of keeping my head down at the moment. Myself and Pidge are full bore and our own media is relentless at times.
Jan/feb and early March have been just crazy and that means very little fishing for me (that’s when I check this forum 😂 
I have been working on the fisheries, tidying the factory, buying this years ingredients and putting in the hours.
Some mega fish being caught including a nice 42 today to a really nice guy. It’s been a good winter for some anglers but the worst one ever for me as I haven’t been much! Let’s hope that changes 😉😉
Good times are nearly here!!

That’s a shame I will need some bait for the lakes soon, was hoping to try and use the same bait for both Carp and Barbel this year.

I will get a big batch made soon but I’m concentrating on making sure we have enough herb first!
I’ll spread the new one about for sure 😉

I'm happy to pay for some to try on a modestly stocked lake in France at the end of April if you are looking for more testers in a range of circumstances 😁

I am hoping that it will be this summer. It has worked in the cold which was my biggest worry and the whole reason I wanted the new bait was for my own winter fishing (selfish huh 😂
Nutriplex was awesome in the cold but the fact that is more expensive (milk content) is what holds people back.
We as a company need another boilie like the herb and Tricknut if we are to move forward so I’m working hard on this one.
I have had to strike certain deals with two big bait companies to find certain ingredients that I can’t get anywhere else but that has now been sorted through my friends in the industry.
Also I’m working with some new ingredients that I haven’t used before and I need to check how they perform when you feed small or high volumes and that takes time.
On paper it’s incredible, but as we know, that isn’t always good enough.
It’s high in protein, tastes lovely, has some very new things inside and it’s working so far.
Boilie season isn’t far away now!

Yes I am thinking the new squid bait might be a good Barbel bait to use?

Hello mate, it is no secret that we at handcraft have close ties to Martin and solar seeing as Pidge rolled them for him for decades!
Yes we had kept back a healthy supply of koi rearer that is very precious to us but it was always blended with modern squid flavours that we have had produced. There are some lovely things in those pop ups and Wafters hence why they are on our catch reports nearly every day.
God knows how many go out in an average week! I am actually sick of the smell of squid and squid additives as it makes everything stink but it is no secret how effective it is mixed up with nice powders and liquids.
The new bait we have been working on since last year has taken these concepts one stage further and we already know it is going to be one hell of a fish catcher.

The 20mm squid Wafters were popular
Requests for sting 20mm Wafters flooded in and deep c is right up there with the two big sellers now so I don’t see why not!!
