I think it’s the similar spice / fish combo…….same as the source which has a similar smell IMO…..

Yep that sting is certainly one to fall back on. Lots of captures on that pop up this weekend. I always remember one winter when I caught a crazy amount of 30 pound carp from 2 different waters and the sting always got me the bites! We have a new batch drying right now and many orders to get out this week.
The Herb and nash sting boilies…… many people seem to think that the herb is a similar bait to the sting spicy fishmeal from the 90s. I can assure you I never designed it to mimic anything at all, I just chose some old ingredients, some new ones, some spices and some old flavours that are still around today. The sting I used personally in the 90s was brown, and had a beautiful meat, liver, fenugreek, curry type smell. But my god did we haul on it!!
Sting essential oil in our pop ups is a very unique and nice smell, tastes awful but smells mega!! A favourite of many many anglers now

I’m now well and truly sold on the sting for colder months. Gone are the times I carry a bait bucket full of pop ups around with me. I’ve fished 3 waters mainly days all through the winter and I’m yet to blank, nothing massive, fish to low 20’s but others around me have often struggled, all fish on the sting and it’s been the most enjoyable winters fishing in a long time.

Btw I don’t get the similarities with the herb at all.

😂😂😂 the herb/sting combo
It’s amazing how people think that the herb is very similar to sting (it’s not how I remember sting) but let’s be honest that was one of the best nash produced

Today……phew I’m glad it’s over!
Herb…….it has such a cult following now and grows everyday. So glad you like it mate and I know it’s a special one judging by what I see and hear. When I started handcraft I was worried that some of our ideas and inventions would never come to light but clearly they are the ones that people love. I don’t know how many sting, squid or herb products went out of the door today but it was a lot! Always a good sign when you catch carp on a matching hookbaits wether it’s a hard hooker or Wafters etc!
Now it’s time for some dinner and a well earned pint!!

Had two at the weekend just gone in the cold northerlies, Herb hard hooker with Dark sting pop-up fished on a snowman just keeps them coming for me, cast with either a Herb five bait stringer or five crushed in a PVA mesh bag, quick dip in the Herb Primer and voila, DEEP-C in brown sounds the one.

Glad they are serving you well!
They have kept us busy this year, we are working 6 days a week to keep up with it all but trust me, we are so pleased with the outcome. There is a lot of really nice feedback around the whole brand and the boilies are impossible to keep in stock. This week I have finally caught up on freezer baits (it won’t last) but the shelf life’s are all getting real low again so I’m back in at 6 tomorrow. Busy busy! Some crackers caught this week on sting, squid and the deep c

Will take a look. Haven't sent you it but the scaly in the March catch report was on a 12mm banoffee pop up. Also lost one on a sting wafter in the same session. Got so much confidence in your hookbaits now, can finally stop buying everything I see on offer and focus on fewer, quality hookbaits I trust

Evening lads
Just to let you all know that the new pop ups went on sale this weekend and the booster shots have gone up too. Thanks for the pms and queries
Some mega catch reports gone up in the last week and we are full bore now. I will drop in from time to time and post some of the recent carp when I get ten minutes. I’m gonna get out and chase another large common this week if things go well!
Enjoy

Not sure what I have missed here 😂
Just opened the forum to more personal messages from Mozzi, which I have Ignored again
I’m a little bit bored of all the nonsense so I’m gonna be taking a bit of a break from here. We are very busy and have been since January so if you need to get hold of me then contact us personally at work. I will reply to you guys who have been asking me questions and let’s hope we come back at a different time.
Once last thing
Mods…….constant pms and hounding people (I have seen the messages) is not on in my eyes. Repeatedly attacking other brands also not on! Yet you let this go on.
Spring is here boys and the carp are coming out en masse! Check out our socials for a crazy amount of big carp being caught.
