More to the point then will catch fish. Just had a great session on my syndicate that is fishing hard, Deep C and Almond wafters with small pva mesh bags of pellets did the job for me when most people on the lake were struggling

Ordered 3 tubs of hookbaits a couple of days ago. Delivered next day. All 3 smell right, look right and all I need to do is put em in the right place. Great service and quality gear.

Afternoon all!!
Apologies I have been mowing grass round the lakes all day today and sorting out a minor flood in our unit after a storm!
Skipjack or herb?
So so difficult to answer this. I love them both and my customers do too! Skipjack is very different to any other squid/tuna bait that I have ever seen (never seen one with actual tuna in commercially) and it’s already produced some mega fish.
Herb needs no introduction and I guess that if you judge it on results alone then Herb has 3 years of proof behind it whereas skipjack is the new boy with big shoes to fill!
My lads who use and promote it fairly are all blabbering on about the skipjack and how they never thought they would use anything other than herb until I gave them the squid!
Both very good
Both made with really nice different things in compared to a lot of baits out there.
Tricky choice to make isn’t it! Let’s ask this again in a years time 😂

You might be better off copying that message and putting it in an email to the Handcraft team. You'll get a reply very quickly there during office hours. Gav doesn't check here consistently as he's usually swamped in tuna fish and other assorted bits and pieces lol.

info@handcraftbaits.co.uk

Good luck on your trip.

Hows the skip jack comparing to the herb at min catch wise.
Im off to france in a month and fishing a 10 acre lake that only started fishing 2 years back and was untouched for 20 years . Stock been added 2 so there in there and used 2 boiles now but there lot naturals food in there crayfish etc .
Im thinking big c and the squid pop ups but need a a feed bait .
So out of the skip and herb.

I do like the smell of the finished bait but my god it stinks when I’m blending the hydros, flavours, tuna fish and garlic…..makes me gag 😂
I’m also not keen on tuna sarnies anymore 😩

Can anyone confirm what the attractor profile is used in the Herb?

I love the old Shellfish sense appeal / Monster Crab combo and wondered if it is anything like this?
