Nashbaits Top Rod boilies are made from our own base mixes so there is several very unique recipies that are matched to the best flavour recipies we have ever tested. All the base mix ingrediants we use are either human food grade or the best animal feed grade we can obtain. It's simply not in our interest to use anything else and it's very important to us to keep the high quality. We blend all of the Top Rod base mixes on site which ensures each ingredient is inspected as we open each bag. It's so much better and it allows us to see the seasonal differences in some of the ingrediants. For instance, fish meals do vary slightly on aroma and quiet a lot on coloration, this we fully understand as they are natural products with little processing but if for instance, they came in to moist or really powdered it would be rejected. If the Soya was too moist, or dark, or had a stronger aroma than it should have it would be rejected, and so on. We keep to the same suppliers that we trust which keeps the ingrediants consistent, ordering on product code numbers and we keep our specification sheets up to date (part of our analytical chemist’s job). We can't afford to have mistakes on our ingrediants as it can effect our production.

Each individual ingredient has been tested regards its attractiveness to carp, not just in tank tests but on fished lakes. For instance, egg albumin attracts very little response from carp whereas whole egg powder they love. So we don't use any egg albumin in our recipies. Several fish meal types had poor responses from the carp so we only include the best response fish meals in our baits and so on. There isn't room in a boilie to have any ingredient they don't like included, even if it can be masked with flavours, there is just no point.

Another very important ingrediants control is storage. We always stock-rotate all products in the factory, even including empty boxes. It's air conditioned where the main ingrediants storage area is, not for our own comfort but for the best keeping of the ingrediants. We buy little and often, rather than bulk buying so we actually turn our stock round very regularly. Many ingrediants are bought weekly, others twice monthly and hardly any once monthly so anything we make is with ingrediants as fresh as possible. We use our own baits for our personal fishing and want to use only the best; it isn't hard to work out so it's the best way.

Attractors wise the Top Rod boilie recipies are mostly blends of Nashbait attractors manufactured on site in the lab. Some recipies are more intense than others containing as many as 8 different flavours, powder additives and of course the base mix ingrediants smell/taste. The ratio's of each additive is in some instances critical. For instance to much Red Liver oil in the Scopex Squid will mask the Scopex and the bait will not work as well. The liquid flavour levels in the new iC-1 are very sensitive because of the curry and spices in the base mix. Get it right though and the bait is pukka, and will catch carp easily.

So, the Top Rod boilies are very good food, designed to feed mature fish (the big ones) and have a complicated nutritional make up from a wide range of different ingrediants so the food signals are difficult for the carp to identify so the recipies are very long lasting, just like a good flavour recipe. The Top Rod boilies combine science with exceptional practical field testing to ensure they are the best food avaliable. Because we fish for the carp, simple recipies are not as effective and just don't work for as long. Nash Top Rod recipies have been proven for decades and are the top fish catchers now that they were in their development years, quiet simply the carp’s food requirements have not changed so why alter the basic food sources.
