Both the TackleBox & FishOn now have our Fizz S2 in stock. FishOn also have ScopexPineapple S2, TackleBox also have GPB2.


TackleBox Gary, 41lb+, special one from a Kent venue. S2.



After FishOn Ricci caught the biggun from that Essex syndicate he moved onto to another venue. First trip he had five, including this incredible mid forty common. One of the lakes most sort after. Fizz S2 balanced over shops fermented particle & crumb.

Exactly as Smudge said. Our stuff all get better with age Jeff. There is a little whirlwind of fermentation going on inside every single one of our hook baits.

I get messages all of the time from customers asking if they can use one or two year old stuff of ours. All of them are surprised/happy when they get told they are better than the day they purchased them.

They will eventually lose their smell to your nose. That's when carp anglers panic and think that they are no good. The complete opposite is true. That smell is still there anyway, your nose is just not powerful enough to pick it up. But it's still there, it just eventually all gets sucked inside the bait & the cork. Put them into water and they will spring back to life. You will smell it again.

I remember Mark saying that people would kill for the older S2's. If I remember correctly he said the older the better with his baits, or at least the S2's, but I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Mark, there is a discussion on the "Bait" part of the forum about pop up expiry dates. Do you have a time frame in which your pop ups may begin to lose their effectiveness?

Forum member Mark. 46lb8oz, 40lb2oz the top two. First time using the Banoffee S2 on his Kent syndicate. Well done Mark.









Adrian, the big linear from Welly. This is the umpteenth time this very old fish has been caught on our hook baits. S2 balanced. Night time capture... Self takes of an ancient carp in current weather. respect Adrian.

Adam, 38lb+ Lea Valley. GPB1



Mark from Ellis water, S2



Forum member Ivan, 35lb+, Banoffee S2

Dan with the Willen big common. GPB2 balanced. Last fish he needed from the park. Well done Dan.

This is fifth, or maybe sixth time this fish has been caught on our hook baits now.

Sorry at the moment we cannot do anything special order wise. We are so crazily busy and have FishOn TackleBox & Johnson Ross waiting for stock.

Doing very very well on S4-Creamino snowmen over Creamino and corn. S2 and Fizz also chipping in with fish used as singles. Another order coming your way. 👍
