Interest in baits

Hi men

Lots of interest in baits making lately on here , this video is really useful and entertaining. Although it's predominantly about Bait Asylum stuff , there are nuggets to pick up , even mentioning barbel fishing stuff . Answered a couple of things for me , and a chat on the phone to him helped me out . DMPT , could not work out how to get the best out of it , as it could almost repeal fish , and the bell rang in my head on a couple of ingredients I had wasted , like Brocacel , and getting the best out of it 😬. Worth a look on a cold wet night 👍

Kevin Ellis.......legend & maker of some brilliant videos. Love watching his exploits in France, especially Rainbow, catching mega carp. Very amusing guy too.
 
Carp chronicles podcasts have a fair few episodes on bait worth listening to. The Jason Rider and Dave Moore were very good just to name a couple. Definitely will watch the Kenny Gates one above as well.

Hi men

Yes , watched everything he done from the early days . Had a chance for a quick chat at Alan Taylor's funeral ( wacker catcher) as I bumped into him donkeys years ago at a " Hertfordshire club water 😉" , we were both a lot younger . Good quality stuff , even his Koi videos were good .

I've watched these and can't remember him mentioning DMPT or Brocacel.

Might need to watch them again.
 
Hi men ,

Quite early in the video . DMPT is a very hard additive to use , the amounts are very small , heat mucks it up and I certainly ruined a few pots of hookbaits 🤣.

Mentions DMPT early doors, basically if it's in the boilie the heat kills it. So it needs to be put onto the boilie after like a soak but for hook baits only. I have a tub kicking about and never really used it, I guess all about getting the quantity correct.

Hi men

The levels need to be right , and it mucks with your mind , so I left it going down an old school route 😂

Brocacel doesn't work with fish meals , only carbohydrates, used in feed for beef production, more yield from feed that as brocacel added

Found it very interesting, even mentions John Baker under his breath
 
I read the information about it contained in that link and decided the quantity required is nill.
Hi men ,

Although a proven attractor , possibly a real edge , iv found that other liquids that are more user friendly do the job . Add to that the sticky active boilies coating take on liquids giving off what I'm looking for 👍.
