Forgotten Flavours is going big at Carp Den Bosch 2026! They are bringing new hookbaits, new wafters, new pop-ups, more than 50 different flavors, in short: don’t miss it! You can find them at stand 155…
Forgotten flavours
Today, Forgotten Flavours may already be familiar to many anglers. Known for their exceptional buoyancy, bold and diverse recipes, and a wide range of diameters and colours, Forgotten Flavours offers everything a true hookbait enthusiast could want.
As the name suggests, Forgotten Flavours is built around classic, old-school flavours from what many consider the golden era of carp fishing. From Hutchinson & Catchum blends and Solar’s iconic gold-label flavours, to Nutrabaits’ glycerol-based flavours and Nash Supasense oil palatants, these are the ingredients we proudly work with. Sourcing these long-forgotten flavours is often a challenge—but it’s one we take on with passion and pride.
New hookbaits
NATURALS RANGE
The Naturals Range consists of five completely unique wafters, each crafted to stand apart from the rest.
- No colouring
- No flavours
- No artificial additives
These hookbaits are anything but standard. Instead of the usual round shape, each wafter features its own distinctive, irregular profile. This is achieved using custom 3D-printed blades on rolling tables, giving every bait a truly natural appearance.
Naturals Range
The five wafters in the Naturals Range:
Insect
Made from silkworm, insect meal, black soldier fly larvae, and a carefully selected blend of additional insects and worms.
Snail
Produced using pure snail meat and our own homemade snail powder, added directly into the mix.
Krill
Created from pure, uncut krill, combined with krill meal and krill hydrolysates.
Mussel
Made using whole mussel meat, crushed mussel shells, and natural mussel extracts.
Shrimp
Formulated with pure shrimp meat, gammarus, belachan, and natural extracts.
Each bait is designed to offer a truly natural food signal—simple, honest, and highly effective.
New pop-ups
Ester Explosion – Fierce, intense, volatile, EXPLOSIVE!
Ester Explosion is the result of relentless experimentation—combining multiple esters with carefully selected organic acids to create a truly extreme underwater reaction that demands the attention of any carp in the vicinity. By blending two of our most proven ester profiles, Esterblend and Acid Pear, we’ve pushed well beyond what’s currently available on the market.
Created and released exclusively for the 30th anniversary of Carp Den Bosch in 2026, these multi-coloured pop-ups—mixed together in a single pot—are impossible to ignore. Sooner or later, they will find a place in your bait bucket. A true must-have for 2026. Expect fireworks—and expect plenty of PBs to fall.
New wafters
We’ve got plenty of new wafters to show you guys. New sizes, never seen before hookbaits, more colour options, you name it, we’ve got it.
Three new specials for Carp Den Bosch are the ones from the boys in the team which are in our Feature Series:
- Raf Bertels – Cream of Creams wafters
- Kris Pauwels – Maple Dream wafters
- Kurt van Cauwenbergh – S-Mix & Squid Liver wafters
Forgotten Favourites Flavour Range

Come and see them for yourself, discover something truly unique, and make the most of our exclusive show deals.
Collaborations
It’s no secret that geertooms.com and Forgotten Flavours work seamlessly together. Geert and Dieter share the same vision—especially when it comes to product quality, customer service, ethics, and loyalty. Because of this shared mindset, they regularly join forces and enjoy presenting their collaborations to the public.
For Carp Den Bosch, they’re doing exactly that with a Limited Edition pop-up, based on the classic old-school Top Banana recipe—definitely one to check out.
And for those who appreciate a touch of flecktarn, brand-new flecktarn buckets will also be available, complete with exclusive Carp Den Bosch deals only.
