Marukyu is taking a little while to forge a reputation with often fickle carp anglers (it’s already hugely popular on the match scene), but trust me when I say that this stuff is absolute top quality. I have used half a dozen products from the Japanese company thus far, and the krill stands out a mile. So much so that it now goes into 90 per cent of all my stick or bag mixes. I use the SFA 450 liquid krill and the SFA 400 powdered krill in combination, as well as individually in other mixes.
