dunkel Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 60 oz. Cracked Corn 60 oz. Layer Crumbles (Chicken feed) 90 oz. Sweet Feed Flavoring ¼ cup Sea Salt ¼ cup Brown Sugar Soak cracked corn for 24 hours, add a quart or more of water then boil for 30 minutes. Take off heat and add flavoring of your choice (8 oz bottle of Superior or 3 oz of R&W/One On is about right) sea salt and brown sugar and mix well. Put it in a bucket and add sweet feed and layer crumbles and stir well. This will make a lot of packbait/method mix. It freezes well, so you won't waste any.

rwh Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 What exactly is sweet feed? Where do you purchase it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzbomb Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 It's corn and grains mixed with molasses and sold in feed stores as horse feed, but apparently you can use it for carp bait or make whiskey with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkel Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 It depends on what part of the country you come from as to what is sold to you as sweet feed. Out West it looks like pellets and assorted grains with molasses added, east coast it is dark red/brownish pellets. We get the pellet type here. If the OP gets the grain type of sweet feed he can check out this video for help... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqUDWdopnDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwh Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I get horse feed from Tractor supplies, it just isn't called sweet feed here. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Can someone help me with a good carp chow recipe using sweet feed. I'm new to carp fishing and want to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzbomb Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Welcome to the forum. The recipe in the post right above yours looks pretty good. Because it's for packbait and not chow, you might have to add extra feed or use less creamed corn. It takes a bit of trial and error to get what you want. I hope you get on the fish! As a general rule of thumb, when I'm making groundbait I like to add something sweet, something salty, and something with chili. Are you going to be fishing paylakes? We've had a few members asking about them and it would be nice to see some pics of what it's like. Good grief, I'd forgot all about Dunkel, Hey Dunkel! Hope things are good.
