Welcome to Carp.com.

 

There really is no set answer because different oils have different temperature bands, cloud up and solidify at different temperatures. Vegetable or nut based oils tend to be thinner and will continue to leak out.

 

To be honest, I really only use oil in my groundbait in summer, in winter I prefer to use other liquids.

i see, i'll stick to mollasses for now then thanks mate 😊

totally agree with the way the bait companies market there products, there's too many thoughtless people that'll pay through the nose for anything they're told too

Given Molasses or oils, molasses is king. Highly underrated, cheap and very effective. Great choice.

10 degrees Celsius and above use fish oils and hemp oil when it’s is colder.
