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.

Spoiler alert- it's not what you think!
