pop up mixes

[Andy Bird]

can anyone give me a recipe for pop ups
that can be put together yourself. All the bait manafacturers ones are too expensive
and i dont like fiddling around with cork balls.

If you are using a fishmeal basemix then that'll be too heavy.
If you are using a milk or birdfood one then the inclusion of extra calcium casienate and shrimp meal into the powder and mixing some baking yeast into the eggs will produce very light baits that will float.

Failing that, microwave your normal baits until they float.

I used to blast my fishmeals in the microwave (premier) and they floated for ages. Same with trout pellet boillies.

What about using cork balls??

The base mix i've been using is nutrabaits trigga .Can't fault it has i caught a lot of carp on it this season including a new P.B. , i just don't like there readymade pop ups that complement the range .
where can you obtain calcium casienate& shrimp meal from & at what levels would you include it at.
