Hello all, hope that you are all well. We are getting so many messages to our work phone the past week requesting information or to order hook baits. The shops have been sold out. Just a quicks heads up, Johnson Ross & the Tackle Box will both have absolutely loads in stock on Tuesday or Wednesday. Both will have Fizz-S2 (pink nut), GPB1 (brown nut), GPB2 (black fish), ScopexPineapple-S2 (pink nut) in very large quantities. Tackle Box will also have GPB2-Ming (black fish) & Johnson Ross will have their PPPP-S2 (yellow nut).

In two weeks they will also have Cinnamon-S2 (red nut), Chocolate-S2 (white or yellow nut), DNA Bug, CherryCola-S2 (pink nut), Hutchie-S2 (white nut) & Curry-S2 (orange).

Yateley Angling will also have stock of our products in November. So many shops are now requesting to stock the hook baits. We will have a new website built in the new year once we get this sorted out. The old website is still there. Just not live currently. It can be made live in seconds. The Tackle Box want to do a feature regarding SHB. Their media will come into our base this winter to film this.

I have loads of catch photos to post which I will do as soon as I get a chance.

Yateley Angling will be stocking our hook baits, should be from mid November onwards. 😎

Harvey, new PB couple of weeks ago, new PB this week too. He gave some GPB2 to his friend, who then caught the same A-Team member that Harvey caught on them last time! GPB2 over freshwater shrimp. Well done both of you.









Roy in France. 50ft deep quarry, GPB2 & JohnsonRoss PPPP-S2 over Krill.









Jez with the biggun from Little Moulsham in Yateley. GPB2-Ming



Forum member Gary. I make this his third 40+ in the past two weeks from his Kent syndicate. GPB1 over ABS. Gary is deaf. Does not stop him hauling.



Forum member Keebs, mid 30, red Cinnamon-S2



New customer Ryan. TackleBox GPB2-Ming over CCMoore freezers.





New customer Karl, Tutti-S2





Stoke Carl, GPB2-Ming



Dean, ScopexPineapple-S2

Korda shrink wrap, the stuff with the holes in. They will chew it but you will still get bites mate. I use the same stuff to wrap whole fresh shrimp when fishing abroad. Stops Catfish and Piranha type fish ripping it to shreds. Works just as well on Crays. Go for one of the S2, or the Garlic 1 which are all nut baits. None of the fish meals.

If you are in a swim full of carp you will get zero problems from them anyway. Good luck.

Think you may get through on WhatsApp for what you need but it’s the tackle shops that have them stocked (or whatever’s left) at the minute. Tacklebox, Johnson Ross and fishon I believe are the three currently.

The s2 bottom baits are noticeably harder than the popups. Don't think mark does a specific hardened hookbaits as such. A bit of mesh or shrink wrap over whatever you use normally would likely be ok.

Hi, I’m fishing a heavy populated cray fish water next year in France. Does anyone recommend or know if any of the s2 range is done in a hard hooker. Thinking of possibly a larger harder Hookbait or possibly a pop up? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers, 🙏

We have 5 tubs left currently mate. WhatsApp message our work mobile. +44 7568159960
Can pass you our PayPal addy for payment. They will go Tuesday.

We are 100% having a new website built in the near future, so when the shops are out, it's easy to get the stuff.

I am back from holiday next week. The shops will have more stock the following weeks. Lots of it is already done. Lots of people are messaging for stuff the shops are out of now. Pop us a message if you want some 13mm balanced GPB2.

Hi Mark when are you expecting to next stock the shops? I am after some more 13mm GBP2 wafters without any extra flavours. Popped into Fishon today but they only have popups left and not getting anymore. Both The Tackle Box and Johnson Ross are also out of waters 🙁

Can you please slow down the success 😂😎

He's just started making it again. He told me it's a bait he made 15 years ago, but could not get the flavour, & one of the ingredients until this year.

It's working bloody well with our garlics. He has caught so many big fish now on just two tubs.

Have a look on his facebook page - he's worked on putting together a new version, you can buy now contacting direct.

Looks like he's hauled on them and the GPBs the last few weeks.
