Apologies for the delay in getting this sorted.
In order to keep the SHB thread fast (to load) I'll create a new thread every now and again
All threads (new and old) will link to each other so that no information / photos are lost
Below is a link to the original thread, it's BIG and if you use the 'Read All' functionality to view all posts on one page, expect your computer to slow down. Best bet is to flick through page by page.

Perfectly true that. Fished a number of small pressured waters where the fish are tucked away in undercut banks literally under people's feet. One of the first things I do on a new small water when there is no one about is to take my top off and have a good feel about. People would be amazed at how many there are and how far back they go.
Noticed Mr Penning with a pot of TC1's in the latest TA vid. 🤔

Sutton 2. Scans of prints. The Dead End swim. Second day as a member, 2006.
The undercut previously spoken about was just out of shot on the left. I had to cast a bare lead above those small pads into the low branches. Then sneak round with a leader with rig and lead attached. A pair of scissors and a landing net pole. Once I had retrieved the lead and had the bare line in my hand, it was then a case of manoeuvring the line along the bank at water level, under the over hangs. Once into the right position, with the rig attached it was a case of feeding the lead hanging off the crook of the landing net pole under the bank itself.
Carp are absolutely petrified of lines. The older, more cute they are, the more line paranoid they become. The only place on any lake where there are zero lines is right in the edge. Next time you go fishing at night for carp…. Don’t cast out. Stand at the front of your swim with a bright torch all night. It will enlighten your angling. You will see them if you can be bothered to sit there all night long. The busier the lake is with lines, the more they will seek out refuge in the edge. Turn up in the dark, fish a swim with deep margins, single hook baits. Fish with no lines out in the lake whatsoever. Fish will gather at night in front of you. Your catches will absolutely skyrocket. You will catch the biggest fish in any lake.

Here you go Ian. That's a 13mm Hutchy S2 pop up holding up a large 1/0 Owner sea hook with ease. Any size carp hook on a multi rig will be absolutely fine for 48 hours.
SHR or Chods, needing to hold up large hooks with a large barrel swivel as well, a 16mm is always best.

We just went through the busiest two week period we have ever known. We will be completely up to date with all orders later this week. The moment that we are, the S2 specials page is being added to the website this week. When this happens, there will be a price increase across the entire range of our hook baits. Over the next two weeks we will be stocking firstly, both the TackleBox & FishOn tackle shops with a range of our S2 & Garlic hook baits. As previously mentioned, to allow this to happen there has to be a small price increase going forwards. We are about to start stocking some of the other biggest tackle shops in the country on an on going basis too. There has to be a small price increase for all that to happen. We'll make less, but we will sell a lot more going forwards.
You will still always be able to buy them from us, but you will also be able to buy them from certain larger tackle shops now going forwards as well.
Hutchy S2 (white)
RedBerry/Vanilla S2 (brown)
Scopex/Pineapple S2 (pink)
CherryCola S2 (pink)
Banoffee S2 (yellow)
These are all being added to the website this week in both 13mm & 16mm, CC pop ups & balanced.

Ian, 100%. Will put you in some 16's as well anyway.
The 13mm are all 10-15% more buoyant now, since both Paul and Carl last ordered. The 16's are too.
GPB2, TC2 & Bug 13mm are even more buoyant than the S2 or standard Garlic (GPB1).

I find the 13 cc's are fine with a 4 on a multi-rig.
