Has anyone used it as bait, and I'm not talking about Graham, hobbits or any other Baggins'.

I read it makes a good tench bait, used like paste.

No-one used it then? Almond and sugar, thought carp might be attracted, I guess the only way to find out is have a go.Just curious if anyone had any experience with the stuff.

You could always mould another sweet fruit flavour in also. Keep us informed it could make a good quick short session bait.

I used it once.
Trouble was, I love marzipan and between the choice of putting it on the hook or in my gob, the gob won. So I didn't have an awful lot of luck on the hook.
And I am serious here. I'd heard it was good for all species including bream and tench.

I've used marzipan in the past...no good: it dissolves/melts very quickly. Shame...I'm sure it'd be a cracking bait otherwise.

why mess about with dubious bait ie marzipan? i wish there was a magic bait out there but as there isn,t ,use the best proven baits to give the best chance of success.

Slimey chap. I'm not looking for an 'ultimate' bait, my post was a matter of curiosity stemming from the other marzipan thread. Sweeteners were an established ingredient, nuts are palatable to carp, I like trying different approaches, maybe a compound made up of marzipan, peanut butter,cheese powder,strawberry jam and say; Belachen. Popular baits risk overuse or blowing as they say.
Purely curious, perhaps someone has tried this and reads the question. That's all. nothing personal, I like to try different approaches but not out of desparation./forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif
