Nutrabaits Trigga Ice Boilies..

Love the Trigga Ice range for winter barbel. Hardly ever use the boilies though, my main approach is a couple of the 8mm pellets glued onto the hair with a mix of 8mm and 4mm pellets in the feeder trapped between a plug of Trigga carpet feed mixed with a dash of Ice liquid in the water. Much like a summer approach except it has a lower oil content than the ellipse/halibuts and generally cast less frequently. Had some great sessions on the Ribble when it's been 12' up and raging using this bait so don't worry about it being 'small' in a flood. At the other end of the scale had my PB just 3 ounces off the river record during a frosty February day when the river was painfully low and clear on the same bait/method. The shelf life boilies are a chub magnet and although I like catching them, I've found the pellets more effective for winter barbel which is why I don't use them. If I want to catch chub i'll use cheese paste!
 
Try using enervite Damien lol. Thats a shocker lol

Funny you should mention that Wayne as the 'gold' version is my bait of choice for this winter, though it'll only be the odd one egg mix for the odd session.
I am surprised that you found Trigga Ice a doddle as I know some bait rollers that don't like dealing with it too. No doubting it's quality as a bait but found other baits much easier to work with.
 
Anyone have the optimum trigga ice liquid level per large egg?
 
From memory between 5-10ml, might even be as much 15ml.
 
Hi Damian,
Yes there is dosage range per egg but i wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the optimum level. I see that its 5 to 10 ml per egg so will go with 7ml.

Yes thats another way Dave, hows it going with you and how is your season going?
 
Iv been given the techni spice for testing from Nutrabaits looking forward to trying it aswel :)
 
I am sure you'll know this John, but with a lot of liquid additions in some of the Nutrabaits range, they are liquid foods as opposed to flavours and so within reason, not as critical level wise as perhaps flavours.

Thats correct Damian and with the colder water conditions coming i will make up some hookers with the full dosage....
