The maple flavour, one that worked best at high levels.

Kempastini book of baits?

he had a guest section in there with recipes 

or could it have been Andy little’ book the complete angler?

Finding this post super interesting!

I have recently started glugging pellets with fish sauce, got a bit bucket that i have been adding fish sauce to every few days for probably near a month now so they are about ready.

What i do want some advice on if possible is Squid hydro liquid, I have just brought some from Bacarel, for some reason i expected it to be thick which it isnt, so im just wondering how to use this as a boilie soak, more the ratios. The plan is (or usually is) to pre soak the boilies in water before i go, usually in salt, if im adding the squid hydro should i just be adding it to the water? is a cap full enough or should i be adding a fair bit? Any advice welcome! THANKS all.

As said already I'd use it neat on my boilies.  In fact I used to use the tuna goo from Bacarel as a soak. 500ml in a 10kg bag and I'd turn the bag regularly.  

Ive also used the crab and the squid in the same way. The crab is a very thin liquid. I found the tuna to be the best one by far.

Hmm, bugging me now too! 😃

Never mind, probably all secret stuff has long gone now.... err to much social media?

I still like my day sessions at a local lake complex, can't be bothered with the latest 'wonder hookbaits' etc, still think it is a location thing.

Mind you, I am now getting fiddling around with a method mix, not sure many now use this for carp fishing?

Me too, depending on what I'm trying to achieve.

A decent bait shouldn't need boosting as such imo. If the carp find a decent bait, they should eat it. If they don't, it's the wrong bait or the wrong time of year. For me, the purpose of glugging in hydros is simply to pull the carp in i.e. help them find your bait. To optimise this you want them as stacked full of those free aminos as possible - so they pump them out stronger, for longer. Mixing with water will just alleviate those food signals, and reduce the amount of time those signals are pumped out.

There is a place for water for certain applications (such as washing-in with glugs/saturating to prevent or slow down the taking on of silt for example), but for attraction you want it neat imo.

I've not read Kempastini Book of Baits, so can't say it is in there. In Big Carp, Chris Ball chapter, I'll Let you be in My Dreams had a bait recipe for that water that Andy Little came up with.

Andy Little has written a number of articles and books, and I have read a fair few, so it could be one of them.

 

I don't know if it has been mentioned but soy sauce is something I add to particles as I soak them. I'm not a fan of salting them, and hemp adding salt in the soak stops it splitting, but soy sauce for some reason on birdfoods gives them an added kick. Then of course we have the old favourite of condensed milk on them.

I found this last night in the  Andy Little book 'My Passion For Carp' page 58:

"The bait I used was very similar to the one I had used at Darenth during the previous winter........... I had slightly changed the original nix of Casien, Lactalbumin, Calcium Casinate and Gluten etc. In the new mix I substituted some of the lighter milk protiens with Semolina........ ended up with a heavier Casein, Semolina and Gluten"

Goes on to say it had a maple flavour, 20ml in a 10oz mix!! also says he used to add granulated sugar in boiling water as a sweetner!

Sorry if way off original topic, but hope it was informative?
