Anyone used John bakers base mix

[Carp123_0]

Looking to start rolling my own personal baits and looking at john baker but looks expensive for making own bait

It is expensive in my opinion. His flavours are good though. 

Try premier baits,  they normally throw in your oil with 10kg of base mix. Plenty of choice on their website and helpful when you call them. Their flavours are good to.

If you buy the flavours by the litre you can go direct to where they are made and get a much wider choice

Highly unlikely he would tell anyone if he did

There are only 3 0r 4 flavour makers in the uk and they all do pretty much the same, this one supplies to the bait industry and has done so for a very long time.

i do like thee look of the JB stuff i think it would stand out as a quality bait in a club/syndicate water that sees all the rolled freezer fresh baits? 

The base mixes look topps, is there any edge in having the best quality base mix made and served fresh over what can be bought of a similar qualty mix that has been frozen. thawed, shipped and all the rest.

That's something I wonder quite often I guess it would be a better fresher bait, but can you afford to use enough of it to get them confidently eating it, I mean the fish arent going to study the nutritional profile of the bait and make an informed choice to eat it, in my opinion if its half decent and they want to they will eat it,the more you can give them the better, for me it comes down to cost, if I could afford to use all the best baits in bulk I would but I would rather use 5kg of an OK/decent enough bait than 1kg of a top notch expensive bait,
