Afternoon lads
I’m glad the herb is smashing it for you lads and I have to say that the herb is still working for the lads who got on it right back in the beginning.
That one is still handcrafts biggest seller and perhaps always will be!
I have never made any other boilie with such a huge response!
Skipjack, well this one has surprised me.
I have had some amazing captures sent in since its launch and there are a few lads that have some mind bending hauls.
One of my lads Glenn Maulkerson has just had two sessions back to back at a new lake where he has landed an entire seasons worth of carp including the biggest two carp in the lake. He has also been through 30kg of the freezer baits in two trips.
I have been using it on my new lakes and I must admit I bloody love it! No bird issues, and bites on nearly every trip!
My mate dan has taken this one to about 4/5 venues in the last 5 months and I have lost track of the carp he’s caught.
Herb took about 6 months to really get out there and prove itself and the skipjack is doing well on sales and catch reports already.
Making skipjack has proved interesting. Kilos and kilos of tuna fish being rolled into the bait has now become a really messy job. I blitz it into the hydros and the whole factory smells like a fishmongers 😂😉
It’s very different to anything I have seen before commercially (not just cos of the tuna) and I have grown to really like the smell and taste.
Why do some baits not work at some lakes? Hard to say but some lakes don’t respond to particles or to bright hookbaits or to maggots etc and generally I think it’s overuse or other species that’s the problem! Why does one guy not like herb when 9 out of 10 say it’s the best thing ever? We have just gone through a very busy spring and I’m hopeful that I can perhaps make a few of the things that you lads keep asking for. The brand is growing really well and it’s all driven by you guys. I have been sitting on the fence about the next step for handcraft but I have decided to try and take things one step further. I need help though as I can’t keep doing so many hours and being all over the country all the time.
I need people who can film, market some ideas, and help with our media as I haven’t ever actually advertised the business anywhere yet!
This week I’m making loads of tricknut basemix and I want to get that into as many people’s hands as possible. That’s the bait I haven’t pushed enough yet. Hookbait sales are just crazy every month now.

I bought a couple of the paste kits to add to my method but I'm going to use some to roll dumbell bottoms. I bought a different sized baitmaster rolling table for it but tbh I think given the amount required I may make them on the smaller single hand table.

Not having the skipjack cause you've got them addicted to the Herb

Funny how some waters respond differently to different baits. Never really understood it myself.

Might have to roll your own T, I wanted some dumbell bottoms (TN), no joy.
Perhaps if enough people wanted them it'd be worth rolling them, petition Gav time 🤣

Hope you're doing well Gav. The skipjack is amazing, not only is it just as good as the herb its also effective at avoiding the coots, am able to fish all the bars i want and laugh at the little ****s who cant find the bait.
Top quality as always. Also love the stick mix, become a staple in my solid bags with the slickers.
Take care

Evening lads!!
It’s been a while since I have looked in on the forum but I’m waiting for the kettle to boil and I thought I’d see what’s occurring!
I hope you are all well and catching loads!!
I’ll try and and answer some of your questions but I can see some nice feedback on the thread so I assume all is well! Good luck to all of you new customers and yes the skipjack is very popular right now. I always knew this one was another big fish bait but I’m already bored of dealing with tuna fish in brine 😂😂😂😂😂
I watched a guy catch 3 big U.K. 40s on the bounce this weekend on it and I’ll share some more captures next time I’m on here hopefully!
Tight lines

I thought the same regarding the Herb and Sting fishmeal........Smells divine and certainly catches its fair share of fish!
The Sting and Super squid HBs are my go to hookbaits.......
