I'd also recommend abs, done well on plan b and plan X , both baits rolled with abs nut base but with different flavours/attractors.

The first commercially available Nut bait i remember seeing was the Carp company's Nut mix. Went over to the owners house in Worcester park with a pal to pick a load up with Flavour and bits and bobs. The owner showed a chest freezer full of his Nut mix he had just rolled. It was the most bait we had ever seen and in such a big size as he was at the time fishing Hairfield. This was at a time when if you wanted decent bait you had to roll it yourself. Must of been early 90's. At a time when everyone was using birdfood and fishmeal based baits..

Fair comment Smurf, I was going on what I’d been told. It certainly does have a high percentage though.

When I wrote the thread on the RMC forum about nut based boiled baits, it was specifically about the T&M. That thread was some nineteen or twenty years ago now.... I'd already been using that freezer bait for years. There were a couple of nut baits on sale when I wrote that thread. They sold F all. They had to be preordered and were not even kept in stock.
T&M was not. It was THE bait from that company. It was designed by real carp anglers, who REALLY understood the effects of real nuts on carp. That's why they followed a different path to everyone else. Not people influenced by media telling them what to do. Not someone making a nut bait because that's what sells. There's a massive difference between those things.
I had person after person telling me I was wrong when I wrote that thread. Fishmeal was king. Cheap crap nut baits apparently... I already knew from experience they were all 100% wrong. Now look at the market... Even all the people who used to de cry them because they sold or rolled fish meals, now have a nut bait. The proliferation of real nuts for carp fishing was started in Kent. Same as later, nut based freezer baits came from Kent.
I'm not making any comments about anyone else's bait whatsoever, it would be crass too.... But there's a whole lot more going down than what is being spoken about here by others. No one is going to put that online. Anglers just guess, then speak about the guesses like they are quoting the gospel. But they are not.
I always find it funny in carp fishing, how the folks who follow on from others, then want to denigrate the very people that they follow. I suppose it's just human nature and a need to sell products. If you are making a nut based boiled bait.... You are following on from these people.

I was thinking the same thing. When I was selling bait my nut bait had over 30% nut in it. It’s not just about tiger nuts either. Mine had peanut protein isolate in it for example. I’m sure plenty of other bait companies put all manner of nut products in.

And are they dry or cooked/rehydrated when milled?

I am sure its a fine bait but how do you know its 'the highest concentration of freshly milled tiger nuts'? I can think of two other bait companies that also mill there own ingredients and I am sure other do as it also keeps costs down plus quality up.

Poacher's don't do shelfies though, but the frozen versions are excellent as you say!!

Poacher baits Tiger Nut n Maple is the best you’ll find, it has the highest concentration of freshly milled tiger nuts, which is far superior to those that use tiger nut flour or meal

ABS MCnut is an outstanding bait, the MC is an abbreviation for maple cream (obviously)
