If you're going for BFM then Nutrabaits cranberry nutrafruit is a no brainer for the flavour and would be my choice and is the recommended flavour for this mix. Amazing flavour , I've caught bag loads on it in as an individual flavour and also as part of a blend of flavours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Springate's Guns Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Pretty sure Rollin Baits will roll the original BFM recipe (Dave Moore is their consultant and creator of the recipe). They might supply the basemix for you. salokcinnodrog and Carpmaster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouchthathurt Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 That was a brilliant bait! that’s what I miss about my local tackle shops, back in the day when everyone was making their own baits. Walking in and seeing all the different base mixes, additives, powders and flavours. The smells, opening bottles and trying to find “the one” that would do the job. My tackle shop used to have shelves of different bait ingredients, now there’s nothing. It’s not the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Yukatan I had a lake record on that at 18lb 2 in 1991 lol mainline link has it in. it’s such a distinctive smell as soon as I opens a pot of them it took me back to that day SBS bun spice was the one for me though I have 2 unopened bottles of nashy monster crab And solar squid and octopus and ester blend 12 in the shed and the eee’s squid liver liquid (I think that’s what it is) bet that is really rank now even though it’s never been opened either that blue cheese flavour was minging as well just probably powdered butyric acid lol Edited March 4, 2021 by framey Carpmaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Richworth frozen tutti fruity back in the day had my first carp from Horseshoe lake on it low 20... god how we struggled on that lake.I kept the tutti put it on my key ring had it for years, used Solar Quench on a lake they loved it.... often wonder if a bait had no smell at all would it make any difference to our catch rate.... or are they put in to catch us 🤔 Carpmaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 I still have a bottle of richworth blue cheese flavour that dates back to 1997... it’s like old smelly feet! ive made baits without any flavours at all and have had results on it, I think the smells and tastes inherent in the base mixes and oils etc are strong enough for a carps taste or “smell” receptors to detect. Although an addition of flavour made me more confident. I usually cut the dosages of the flavour right down though these days, the recommended dosage of my current flavour is up to 5ml per 6 eggs, I use between 1.5-2ml per 6 eggs (dependant on egg size) Carpmaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flavours that I've used in the past and a few I still use today, even ones that have been discontinued for years. Fortunately I found a couple of them still being made albeit not by the original maker, after a google search, though with brexit I've been so far unable to get anymore as they are in the EU. Pink zing, green zing and milk and ice cream all from Geoff Kemp. Solar squid and octopus, esterblend 12 , black and blue. Richworth plum royale. Darenth valley baits skunk and geranium. Hutchy secret agent. Premier Nodd oil, matrix flavour, condensed milk. John baker ala salar, plum, maple cream and butt cracker.
