Have to say i am seriously thinking of switching over to Sticky. I do tend to use nutty type baits in the UK but always seem to do better using fishmeals in France.

I've used bait from most of the big bait companies over the 25 years I've been carp fishing. I can honestly say nothing compares to Sticky baits krill which I've used for the past 8 years. Total confidence that it will work anywhere and the Krill active has stepped it up to an even higher level! Can't comment on the Manilla as I've never used it but I've no reason to think it would not be as effective. Also worth noting the other products in their range. 2.3mm bloodworm pellets are the best pellet for PVA bags and their liquids are excellent especially Calanus and hemp oil.

Trip to France earlier this year and I was using krill active wafters and tuff ones and had a few out. Was using lake boilies as loosefeed as wasn’t allowed to take our own. Off next saturday to France again to a lake that does well on fish meals so I will be using the krill active wafters and tuff ones again but also the lake specials as loosefeed. I have also mixed together some krill and bloodworm active mix that I am going to coat the loosefeed with.

I was with another bait company for years and got to the point where i didn't have to think about bait if you know what i mean, it becomes one less worry leaving you free to worry about more important aspects such as location etc anyhoo i ended up at sticky and I'm obviously going to sing its praises but it has provided me with consistent results week in, week out on some pretty tricky waters so much so that i am now back in that lovely frame of mind where I don't doubt my bait in any way whatsoever. Oddly enough i have used the manilla for the last few years and done very well on it but i had a change to the krill after spawning this season just because i wanted to start using the fishier hydros and liquids and again its just been incredibly consistent, from actual batches of bait through to the end results. I haven't really used the active because i like to add liquids and powders myself although i may buy a bag in my next order just to see how they take extra liquids on or whether it will defeat the object possibly

I’ve used it on and off for years. From when it was the original sticky baits. I’ve mention before that the old fermented bloodworms in a metal bottle was one of the best products I ever used.

I’d say for a cheapo bulk type bait then the bloodworm shelf life’s are ok.
As far as Manilla is concerned my results on it were definitely mixed. I’d rather use cell or live system or McNut for that type of bait.
I think for a shop type bait the Krill’s results speak for themselves.
The jury is out for me on the whole active stuff. I know a couple of people whose results dipped over using the std stuff.
The new red bait has been kicking about on my waters for a couple of years now. If I’m honest I’m a bit underwhelmed by it.

I like their liquids, particularly the stinky hydro stuff.

Have been rolling my own for a few years but haven't had the time recently. Got some krill active freezer on a recent trip and caught well. They aren't cheap and I am a little uncertain about how fresh the freezer bait is from somewhere like Angling Direct but was super impressed with the Krill Active.

Not interested in what baits people are using but am genuinely asking for people that use Sticky baits to give me an honest opinion. My usual supplier has given up and I have been using krill and Manilla wafters and tuff ones for a few months and thinking of going with Sticky boilies etc.

As said earlier, I’m not interested in what other baits people are using.
