adamkitson Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Heard a bit about this as a carp bait. What's it all about then? Got a bag of it as its so cheap, and the dogs like it. What makes it good as a carp bait? Guess it needs a soak. Is it pretty much used just as a carpet feed/spod mix additive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Vitalin...... Look at the ingredients,has a multitude of uses. Bream luv it as well,unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Oh and just to add..... It's a rubbish dog food ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Boiling water and a good stir and basically your ready to go. Will take flavours,seeds,chops and full boilies. Used it years ago moulded round method feeders,sets like concrete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androoooo Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Used it yesterday pre-baiting an area to use up what I have. Mixed 50% vitalin, 20% fishmeal, 10% lamlac and 20% particle. Balls up really well which is what I wanted. Fished over it today and had a bream on a tiger nut. Decided to move the rod after that.

adamkitson Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Sounds like it could be useful for what I want it for then! Got a lake that's fully weeded up. Looking to heavily bait an area with something cheap so the bream/tench etc make a start off the weed. Hopefully a carp or two will show up in the process. I'll start baiting it for them once it's a bit clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamkitson Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Oh and just to add..... It's a rubbish dog food ! Yeah for sure! Added a handful to my dog's normal raw food diet out of curiosity. They ate it, doesn't mean it's any good mind! snowmanstevo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Vitalin is a great bulker I used to mix mine with the mainline activator and water, make hundreds of golf size balls, leave them in the sun to dry a little and catapult the lot out. I also used to blend it up into a finer powder, it's particularly good for creating new feeding spots.

salokcinnodrog Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 15kilo bag of Vitalin is £14.90. Brilliant mix used wet, over wet, nearly dry or as Method. Can mix in particles, boilies, chops or use neat. I had a lot of fish over Vitalin, boilies and particles from Ardleigh with it, that was carp and bream which also love it. Basically wet it about 30minutes before you use it, or add your boiled particles in juice about some sort of time. You can pour boiling water over it the night before, but I found 30 minutes good enough. If you mix and ball it, you can freeze the balls, frozen balls (ooh er Mrs ) fire out a long way without breaking up adamkitson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamkitson Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Cheers all. Spot on. There are also a lot of swans on this lake and it's not deep, so pre baiting/naturally clearing a spot on anything other than a cheap bulkier will work out an expensive way to feed the birds! I will give it a shot and report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve001 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) If your looking to add plenty of bits to vitalin then maybe just buy flaked maize at a fraction of the price and add more pellet, boilie, hemp etc rather than bits of veg etc.think a 25k sack of flaked maize in about £8 so very affordable, versatile and fish love it as it's already precooked therefore easier to digest Edited September 2, 2016 by The scientist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark76 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 If your gonna add flaked maize then you may want to try valuemix dog food it already has flaked maize in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip bulbs, plaster and the plasterboard behind it, the front off my PC, a tap-dancing shoe and part of a wellington boot are items that come to mind. Our vet grew wealthy by knowing this dog.

Well he did eat a full chicken carcass out the bin and some other gross stuff in the early years. But now hes older hes got fussy.

What doesn't get used for bait she will eat dampened down neat or mixed with her Corporals Crunch. Huskies eat pretty much everything, they are self sufficient and run free in summer in their own habitat in Siberian. Vitalin can have the problem of being high visibility, coots, ducks and swans will feed on it, but just as easily, and has been pointed out, it can be used to feed them off... As well as being attractive to fish; all non predator species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used vialin to very good success for smaller carp between 5-15lb for a cheap bulk bait many times and always darken it a bit, my dogs love it I mix it into their meals and catch my boxer burying his head into the bag when I leave it out but then again my boxer will eat anything that goes. He got into a bag of squid and octopus fishmeal boilies once and my god the farts were awful. That [censored]ed me off more than losing a chunk of my bait.
