With access to well over 200 classic and contemporary flavours original Rod Hutchinson, Geoff Kemp, Solar, Nutrabaits, Richworth & John Baker to name a few.
I can produce truly bespoke hook baits tailored to your angling. Ethyl based flavours, alongside a wide range of unique powdered feeding stimulants and essential oils.
I generally favour a subtle approach, using flavour levels lower than the recommended dosage to create a balanced bait. However, as the water cools, certain liquids can be increased where appropriate, as many really come into their own during the colder months.
Every angling situation is different too whether you’re fishing over deep silt, clean gravel or weedy areas, I can tailor a hook bait to suit the conditions. I can walk you through your initial idea and create a hook bait perfect for that particular situation - going as low or as higher dosage per egg as required.

Process
Hook baits are rolled on Shillham mark 2 tables, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm & 18mm options are available, round and dumbbells. Hookbaits are steamed instead of boiled which means a lower percentage of the liquid flavour profile is lost.
The hook baits are rolled from scratch, not flavoured mass produced blanks.
