Obscene amounts of bait left us this week!

Shout out for great customer service from Handcraft, ordered 10kg of Herb Shelf Life a few tubs of hook baits Wednesday lunchtime. Had delivery from them before lunch time today.

Alright fella! Yes mate we will certainly be doing them in the future. We have quite a few changes coming but just need to catch up a bit.
I like a bigger bait and all the customers who fish in Europe want to have access to bigger baits so I’m sure we will get round to it.

Hey Gav, hope you’re keeping well mate, any plans on rolling larger baits ? I’d love some 22 or 24mm herb 🙏
Catch you up the big pit sometime this summer!
Cheers, Leigh

Morning lads
Hope all is well and the fishing has been good. The spring was a weird one with weeks and weeks of high pressure and frosts each morning and then the sun came out and the carp spawned! We haven’t had any rain of note since late Feb which is also a bit odd.
I haven’t been on here as it’s been a bit chaotic since January and we have lots going as usual. We have a few new things in the pipeline and those fruitella pop ups sold out within days! Who knew that purple was a popular colour 😂
They do smell good though!
Even I have been catching a few carp this spring from a couple of new venues so it must be clubbing season😂😂😂😂

The Herb is the one for me,my mate is more for the skipjack squid.We both catch well on either baits but Herb with a super squid wafter or dark sting wafter just does the business for me

I’d have to say herb
Works for the masses
Proven results
Just adapt how much you use when the cold weather comes but it does work well in winter!

Just taken delivery of some sample baits; was hoping this would help me make my mind up, but it doesn't as they all look good. Any advice / suggestions for something I can use all year round - cheers.

Glad you lads like it. Lots of messages at handcraft this week regarding new items which I have tried to answer. We have been very busy for February and I have already seen some huge orders come in so apologies if you have been calling this week and I didn’t answer. I’ll get back to you when I can as I’m on my own again for a few days 😩😩
I have landed some lovely carp this winter up 49lb but I haven’t actually done lots of fishing again due to work and shooting etc.
the good times are just around the corner 😉

Just had a look at the latest Vlog Gav . Even went back and had a look at some of your earlier vids A very honest account of the bait game. Reminded me again to take a look at the baits you have on offer. Sample order incoming.

Well ideally 20kg but I can often piggyback orders onto other orders if our timing is right

What’s the minimum order for the nutriplex Gav?

Nutriplex is still Pre order only for the simple reason that we have to hold so much of the herb and skipjack and Tricknut during peak season.
I will start making more Nutriplex in November and we are taking some plex with us on our next trip away.
Nutriplex has great winter form and is a very old proven recipe, it has a low fat content and an all round basemix like the other baits so it will work well in cold water.
Are the primers pva friendly? You can dunk a pva mesh bag in them but I don’t pour them into solid bags!
Mega things those primers, I wouldnt fish without them
