Nash Wormcell: what was it?

Nash has produced an enormous range of baits, attractors and tackle over the years, which means older product names often continue generating searches long after anglers stop seeing them in every tackle shop.

If you’re looking specifically for Nash Wormcell, be careful when buying old or remaining stock.

With any bait additive or biological-style attractor, storage history matters.

Something that has spent years in ideal sealed conditions is very different from something that’s been sitting in a hot garage.

Rather than assuming an older discontinued attractor is automatically superior, concentrate on what you’re trying to achieve.

Do you want soluble attraction?

A food signal?

A liquid soak?

Or simply something different from the baits everyone else is using?

Carp bait trends come and go remarkably quickly.

Many supposedly essential additives disappear while simple proven ingredients continue catching carp year after year.

If anybody still has original Wormcell or used it heavily when it was widely available, it would be interesting to hear what you actually thought of it.

Was Nash Wormcell genuinely effective or mostly clever marketing?
