Having vowed several times to never buy another addative I failed once again and started playing around with making me own version of a goo type substance. The syrup based one described by Michael Kirby on this thread http://www.fishingmagic.com/forums/carp-fishing/299643-goo-who-bought-some.html didn't work for me and got me wondering if it was the cold uk water congealing the syrup.
So I have now made megoo using glycerine as the base. Glycerine is vegetable "syrup" that is highly soluble in water and dirt cheap, I paid £3.14 + £2.75 p&p for a litre of food grade on ebay.
I added 3ml of scopex boilie flavouring and half a teaspoon of powdwer boilie dye to 200ml of glycerine. When the feeder hits the water there is an immediate visible cloud at the surface and hopefully all the way down. Testing in a bucket the bucket of water is completely clouded by the megoo.
The cost of the ingredients to make a litre of megoo has been approximately £11.00 which is a bit cheaper than the £105/lt that korda charge for their goo.
PS It hasn't made any discernable difference to my catch rate, I can still blank in a cold easterly wind.
