Hello Luke . I started off using Shrimp and Squid in 15mm frozen , but eventually was able to switch to stabilised . I wanted to go down in size to 12mm and there was a minimum order , at the time , of 5kg ,and I couldn't afford to buy both , so I went for the Squidy goodness . I recently bought 1kg of 12mm Shrimp , and ran both the Squid and Shrimp together , but I find I radiate towards the Squid . I'm not saying the Squid is definately better than the Shrimp it's just that I have more confidence in the Squid - I guess I just like the smell ! . 😃

Best of luck mate…how far across is it to the other anglers swim ?

Great write up and pic 👍

Tight lines , Elmo . Don't fall on your bum like Ouch . 😁

I'm in the mud tonight.

When you realise you don't even need to change your line yet 😂

Since before Jesus was resurrected I heard.

Pretty sure Yonny has used the shrimp for as long as I can remember

Think Yonny is a Trent baits user

Hi, Has anyone done well on Trent SAS Squid? I purchased a kilo of each SAS Squid, Shrimp and matching cork ball pop ups. They both look and smell amazing, I'm torn between the 2 and am looking to bulk buy soon. I see online lots of folk rate the shrimp, not much info on the SAS squid. Squid flavoured baits do well on my lake, but shrimp sounds like it can't be ignored. Thanks Luke

It doesn't empty properly, even when put upside down when nearly empty. Always have to heat a bit of water up in a pan, then put the gas canister in the warm water in pan to get a decent burn, otherwise the flame is too low.

Legend - well in mate 😎👍

I love a varivas hook 👍

Thanks for the heads up!

Strange I always get a case of Coleman propane gas - never had a problem, what's gone on with yours?

Beautiful fish, well earned buddy👍

Yes , they do come big sizes. I told my mate about them and he uses the 6's. He absolutely loves them. And the bonus being, no carp tax.

Great find mate. They look like just like the Drennan Continental Boilie hooks.... except massive😅

Get yourself some "Varivas Chinu" hooks from Veals Mail order. They are a sea fishing hook, Sizes 8's and bigger. They are choddy style hooks, super sharp and half the price of carp hooks. If i was still carp fishing I'd 100% be using them.

You're the epitome of " you have to be in it to win it " , Ouch , but I'll leave the heroics to you 😁 . Well done on the big Common you thoroughly deserved it . 😃

Thank you

If anyone’s interested, I’ve edited my catch pic above with a full catch report.

I like the go gas ones but they do seem to empty quickly.

Good question. I can't see the size 2 Korda Chod hooks in stock anywhere. I spotted the Avid and Cygnet jobbies - both on sale too. Avid Armorok Chod Hooks Fishing Tackle and Bait Cygnet Choddy Hook Size 2 Barbed | eBay UK
