i'd probably go with ASM or plan b myself but the ASM stinks and it gets on everything

Lots of people recommending DNA which I concur with...Bug gets my vote too...I have some Switch in the freezer that I am keeping for the winter 👍

I have a bit of a feeling that the Cell isn't the same as it was when it first came out... looks different to me.
Also I am confused how they can do it in a shelf life with yeast as an active ingredient or have I got that wrong đŸ€” I ALWAYS used frozen version though

The only 2 of those I've used are Cell and S7. Cell catches fish, that fact can't be disputed. S7 is a great bait, I have used in the past and if I need to change from my current bait I will almost certainly go to DNA and use S7 again. You get the benefit of the package deals as well to make it more affordable which is a bonus

S7 all day for me. I moved onto it last winter and it's done me proud ever since. I don't need to question bait any more.

Can't go wrong with abs. I've used plan b over the last 3 or 4 years and had some great results. Can't comment on hydra k .I use their dgt for a fishmeal bait

I can only comment on two;

Mainline Cell was my go-to bait for a number of years and caught me A STACK of fish, quite a visual bait that I think worked in its favour on the water I was fishing
30+ acres with fish that seemed to be moving around a lot and would stop and feed if they found a baited area (most obliging, I felt!)

I have moved on to DNA bug the last couple of years and have supreme confidence in it.. it has caught me fish on a variety of waters. One of those baits that you break open and sniff and just think “oh yeah
happy with that!” Once I have confidence in a bait I can stop worrying about it and sit there with confidence..The bug for me is one of those baits that has produced fish, out of the blue when I thought I had no chance of a bite.

I’ve not even heard of the other baits on your list.🙁

I've had loads of good fish on ABS Hydra K but since it's launch I have gone over to K2 and I think it's even better.

I've used S7 since launch, use it right the way through winter and see no reason to change it. Thought about bug with all the 'hype' but stuck with S7.

I've never used the others.
