It's pet food so any reasonable pet shop will either have it, or be able to get for you.
Very good as groundbait but even better if you put it through a blender first.
Great binding quality but be careful how much water you use, a little goes a long way and you can always add more.

Other than being a carrier for hemp,pellets, chopped boilies, etc. Do barbel actually find vitalin tasty????

 

[Jon Whelan]

Good point John.

Whilst carp fishing, I have used Ewe & Lamb Pencils or Ewe Nuts as an alternative (binder/bulking ingredient) to vitalin. Has anyone used these for barbel bait before? It about half the price (see below for price & general ingredients)

Hi , Go to Ebay if you dont want to start drivng out of town to buy it , as cheap as shops (cheaper ) and reosanable postage rates

Ewe Nuts are basically the waste product left after drawing off Corn Steep Liquor and were/are sold at a massive mark up CSL pellets.

I have strong doubts as to their fish drawing capability and have not used them for many years.

Sorry Dave W for digressing on your thread. Thanks Dave B for your explanation - was not exactly aware of how manufactured. I have used these in a ground bait mix (up to 20%) in the past for unfussy river carp. I never considered it to have much drawing capability but rather used the ewe nuts as a very cheap binder/bulking agent to lessen the quantity of pellet used.

That's why John Cooks point is a good one - 'Do barbel actually find vitalin tasty?'

Cheers, Jon
