I have so many photos to post when I get a chance, we are on holiday at the mo, these are going up today.

Quite a few of you on here seem to use Jason Riders A bait. He is out in France at the moment. First time ever using our hook baits, the GPB2. He is absolutely smashing them, over a new test bait of his called NB2. He's catching all the lakes bigguns at the mo, he's only been there a couple of days, he's already had 15. Every time I go on Faceache, he's had another 50+.

You should pester him for some of this new bait when he gets back. It would seem to work exceptionally well with our garlics. Jason was very ill over the last year. It's really great to see him on the mend now, back out doing what he loves, smashing them too.

Big thumbs up for the tackle box. I rang them a couple of weeks ago for some hookbaits that weren't showing in stock on the website and true to their word they rang me this morning and took my order. Great service 👏 👍

100kg of hook baits that arrived at The Tackle Box & Johnson Ross yesterday.

DNA Bug, Hutchie-S2 & RedBerryVanilla-S2 fishmeals will be on the next batch. We ran out of time this go.

Or is there even a fancy printer that I can purchase to do them myself? Surely there must be these days?

Something that gets harder and harder to keep up with, is just writing on the lids of the tubs. For continuation of the same theme, I prefer to still write on the lids. That has become a massive task now though. This is Tutti-S2. After this, the same of Curry-S2, GPB1, GPB2, Curry-GPB2, Ming-GPB2, Chocolate-S2, Cinnamon-S2, CherryCola-S2, OG-S2, pink S2, white S2.

All lids have to be written on today.

In the future, I would like to have stickers made of my writing, for each bait/variation. If any forum members work in the print game.... Get in touch via PM or WhatsApp message our work mobile.

I lost these two photos a decade ago. The top one is my personal favourite image of me holding a carp. So I was pretty gutted. I lost a load of photos including these two, when an old laptop crashed. They were not on social media. Last week I found them on a Google drive. They were the files Gardner edited the Shimano name out of the hat for Carpworld.

I did not think that I would ever see these images again. I have so many photos of the Roach pit linear. But I did not have many images of the first time I caught the Roach biggun. It looked impressive sat on my lap.

So pleased I found that photo. Mad how stuff can turn up after a decade 😎
