Mini Combo Pellets

A finely tuned blend of micro pellets (all under 3.3mm) for fast cold-water breakdown and confident feeding. Made from seven proven pellets — including Elips, Krill, Halibut, Carp and Salmon Fry Crumb — it offers colour, texture and instant attraction.

Why they work:

  • Quick breakdown in winter
  • Strong aroma from Salmon Fry Crumb
  • Ideal for solid bags and winter traps

Liquid Foods

Maximum attraction, unmatched versatility.
Fully PVA-friendly liquids that add flavour, colour and cloud to any pellet, bag or spod mix. Pour, glug, dip or soak — you can’t overdo it.

Why they shine:

  • Fast-leaking cloud for instant pull
  • Thick, high-attract formula
  • Wakes up your winter mix immediately

New Betalin® Wafters

Critically balanced wafters infused with the iconic Betalin® attraction, plus fruity flavours and bright colours that trigger confident feeding even in cold water. Each pot includes a 3ml booster.

Why they work:

  • Fully soluble attraction for constant leakage
  • Fruity esters stimulate feeding response
  • Stands out in winter with subtle but potent flavours

Flavours: Sweet Almond • Blackcurrant • Plum • Betalin® Plus


Neil’s Winter Favourite Liquid: Chilli Hemp Oil

Add a fiery kick to your cold-water mix.
Hinders Chilli Hemp Oil blends smooth hemp oil with natural chilli extracts for a spicy scent trail that wakes up sluggish winter carp.

Why it works:

  • Chilli stimulates feeding in low temperatures
  • Hemp oil disperses smoothly for instant pull
  • Fully PVA-friendly — great for solid bags
  • Perfect for coating pellets, bags or hookbaits
