sometimes do m8 but certain situations and times need something different .
its a good reliable bait to fall back on when the different things you try dont work !

[Callum91]

cc moore boilies all the way, imo meteor is the best but they are all top baits and very affordable

[Stig]

Green Giant sweetcorn

Dog biscuits

Both white and brown thick sliced bread

Worms

Maggots & casters

cockles & mussels (alive alive ho)

All have stood the test of time and all have been around for a little while at least

Any truth in this rumour, is is it just that many shops don't stock it now, as Mainline has brought out so many other baits since, each one being better than the previous bait?

Hi Manager,

Did a bit of fishing around for you today, asked a few contacts in the trade and they all came back with the same answer WHAT

So I got one of them to call mainline and the geezer on the other end just laughed.

So put your mates mind at rest and tell him he will be ok

activ 8 did me proud when i was fishing caqpesthorne

[The Newbie]

ermmm the cell? Try Darenth Valley Baits, Skunk is back and will catch anywhere, Skunk and plum, skunk and geranium and also fruit frenzy! all back on the market. Honey Yucatan is an old favourite but Tutti Frutti seems to be the most common long term catcher. Any good food source will always catch and from mainline I agree the grange takes some beating along with active8.

seems lots on the forum are on skunk too

Isn't the 'Grange' being re-vamped ? A newer improved version ?

...though why tamper with it...

if I could only ever use one boilie ever again it would be Richworth Tutti Frutti. However over the years I've used a few different base mixes starting with Nutrabaits Enervite and Hutchies SeaFood mix, but the one mix that stands out from years gone by that really took a water apart was the original Premier fishmeal base mix with nod oil! used by the legendary Bernard Loftus!
