Most of my plans for the new year/Season will be based around beds of particles and ground bait for Tench, carp and Barbel with various baits over the top.. But one area that has grabbed my interest recently is the area of "Designer Baits" and all the magic that goes into them...
I've had reasonable success with chub using a cheese paste made up with a pastry base, cheese added and a squirt of Nutrabaits Cheese elite flavouring... Similarly I've had fish using the same pastry base with a helping of strawberry flavouring from the same company...
From there, what is the benefit of dropping the pastry base and going for a boily base mix for the paste, like a 50/50 base... Or one of the more advance mixes like Nutrabaits HiNuval or big fish mix... I assume the latter mixes have various additives in them, such as appetite stimulants...
Which brings me on to the cute, but expensive tubs and bottles I see on the shelf... Heres a few I've spotted and heard mentioned...
Betain, Looks like a white powder... Reminds me of MSG from the Chinese supermarkets.. Is it an attractor ? Stimulant ? Same goes for Green lipped mussel extract... What about N-Butyric Acid ??
Then comes the Oils.. I'm assuming if your knocking together a paste for the cold water of winter, you'd look at add a high level of oil that doesn't freeze ?
what about Essential Oils ?
Lots of questions any advice would be appreciated, the more I've looked at this sort of thing the more I've got confused !!!!!!
