Ginger9991 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 What results have people had with it? How do they use it? Particle, Glug, soak boilies in it months on end first? managed to get a few litres for cheap so am tempted to give it a go this weekend.

dalthegooner Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Any way you like. It's very versatile. Boilie ingredient. Bait glug. Add it to your maize for 24-48 hours before boiling. Dribble it over your sticks. Add it to your PVA bags... salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger9991 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 With it being so thick, could i apply to pellets and let dry? would the pellets keep shape rather then turning to mush? These are just course pellets i get cheap that can do with a boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger9991 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Guess i will have a play about tonight ready for the weekend. on Vitalin seems popular. Edited March 10, 2015 by nigewoodcock Swearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It'll definitely cover the vitalin well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muftyboy Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) If you glug boilies in it then pierce them 1st, it makes them go rock hard, with vitalin wear gloves when mixing and if you don't like bream then don't bother ☺ Edited March 10, 2015 by muftyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a good strong bag, 1kg of pellets, mix 20ml molasses in a bottle with 80ml warm water, shake to mix liquids, add to bag. Blow up the bag and shake to coat all the pellets, keep shaking and the sides of the bag should go clear again. Use within a couple of days or freeze. (Works really well with mixers!

howsey16 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Might sound daft this but.... I'm looking for a bit of a bulk buy deal on molasses but seem to see molasses for horses all over! Is this the same stuff? Confusled :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johncarpygough Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Excellent bait additive even as a Glug warmed and mixed with a bit of hemp oil to loosen it up abit. Over vital in is the basis of my stick mix an old but excellent product never fish without it someware in my setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo7uk Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Just reviving an old topic here rather than starting a new one...if adding molasses to a general particle/groundbait mix is there any rules about quantities? Ideally I've got a mix of prepped birdseed and sweetcorn and want to be able to use it in pva bags without them melting on the bank!!

Thanks, the mix worked in the bags without melting them this morning so must have got something right!! yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm well pleased that this thread has been resurrected as it's triggered a though which may be a benefit when I fish Lac du Menhir in France this July. I've never fished there before so, other than what I've gleaned from the internet, I'll be going in blind. My thinking is that something as attractive to carp as molasses has to be at least an enhancement, possibly a game changer. Following my internet research of the water it seems that boilies and particle mix are the only baits/attractors mentioned. They're certainly the only things available at the fishery. I shall definately be taking molasses with me. Am I dreaming? Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheap, pva friendly when needed and can be used in so many different ways. I'd say go for it, no harm done especially if it's not an overused flavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
