The "magic powder" was the Trigarol in powdered form.

100% true.

I suspect that the main reason it was so good for chub was the inclusion of Trigarol (basically chicken liver in powdered and liquid form) and if there is one thing chub like most of all it's chicken. For example DT Baits Pukka Fish & Oily Chicken contains poultry meal and a lovely chicken...

It was changed before the new owners took over. You can't get half of the ingredients that were in it. What they are selling now is not the original Trigga.

Tony Miles used that combination on the Ouze to great effect.

Fish meals already contain levels of 5-IMP ribonucleotides and I was once told that if you combined yeast which also contained ribonucleotides (brocacel) that it overloaded the fishes senses. However I did a little experimenting and as a groundbait for chub I used pellets as a base which I then...
