This is one of my big secrets, so don't go spreading it about.... seriously....
Add Co-op or Sainsburys pizza base mix. At an incredibly expensive 59p for a pack....
It consists of the strongest flour available + salt + sugar + yeast and when mixed up makes the stickiest strongest and most tacky paste you can imagine.
Will carry more than twice its own weight or mass in trout pellet powder, mashed up corn, liquidised hemp or whatever else you want to make your paste out of. And when added to ordinary crumb or not very binding groundbait it transforms it into a pretty good method mix.......
Now, don't tell anyone else, there's a good chap, promise ?!?!?
PS. whatever else you do don't get your fingers stuck in it until after you have balled it up and left it to prove a bit.... you seriously won't get it of without skin removingly abrasive tactics. And mix it in dry with the other dry powders and add colours and mix first....
You have been warned ! Any wives wishing to kill someone for despoiled kitchen bowls etc. should not be pointed in my direction.
