Sam sits down with the marvellous Mr Marcus Watts and discusses a huge range of different topics ranging from harvesting wild crabs to bacterial-aided hydrolysis.

Q&A is back!

I answer listener questions, ranging from supermarket bait ingredients to sacking fish.

Enjoy...

In this episode we are joined by Matthew Rothon, who is the flavour technician for Radford Way Ltd, a sister company to Unbar Rothon.

Sit back and enjoy as we cover various topics from supplying Rod Hutchinson with flavours to formulating new creations...

Frank Warwick joins us in this episode and meanders through a plethora of thought-provoking and inspiring topics in a way that only Frank can.

Frank not only has a great understanding of bait and fishing as a whole, but is someone who has the balls to go and put the ideas into practice. Trust me when I say, very few people do this to any great extent. I have always admired him from a far for this and I am sure his adventurous nature has inspired my own testing to one degree or another.

Enjoy this enlightening episode with the one and only, Frank Warwick...

Having rolled bait since 1990 and having spent countless hours meticulously delving in to the science of carp, Dean really is the crème de la crème when it comes to bait formulation.

Sadly (or not, as the case may be for Dean) he has decided to close his business, Scientific Baits, for good).

In this episode we chat about Deans time in the bait industry and why he has decided to bring it to a close.

Available on all podcast apps as well as Spotify & YouTube.

If you would like to delve into the bait brain of Dean you can join us for an exclusive online evening via The Bait Club on the 5th of September at 8:30pm (don't worry, the replay will be available for all Bait Club members, no matter when you join the club).

Does camouflaging our rigs really work? Do "match the hatch" hookbaits really match our free offerings? Are high viz popups really high viz?

Are we all wasting our time when it comes to this stuff?

Spoiler alert- it's not what you think!
