I am using a mix of two baits this year  one a milk protien that has a subtle fruit flavour, and loads of goodies in it, and a fishmeal that has no flavour but smells a bit like cat food or something, I used them both for a year each and both did me proud, so my thinking this year I will catch twice as much 😂

I do think the black pepper oil would be a good addition to the fishmeal though 🤔

If its a proper milk protein bait then you shouldn't need added "goodies", the milks will be doing everything you need on their own. And when I say proper milk, you're looking at £15 - £20 per kg to know it's half decent at todays prices of ingredients.  Anything less than that then it's bulked out with calf milk replacer etc which is a good ingredient but nothing compared to the casein's, lactalbumin's and whey pro's out there.

I'm not paying £15 a kilo for it, so it's probably not an out and out milk protien but it has lots of other goodies in and they do seem to love it, had some really quick bites using it so that will do me, I think I've got to the point now where it is about location being the most important factor and in the right place the baits will work well enough but some prebaiting won't do any harm 👍

Postman pat came this morning, have to say they both smell like winners, proper jobs always seem to come with confidence boosters in them, tangee peach smell lovely,, KLS just smell like carp catchers not dissimilar to both the baits I am using this year and both slightly odd colours, I don't regret adding these to the collection 😂

Have a look at Rod Hutchinson Ballistic B pop-ups.

 

 

I have a jar of yellow Aniseed and Bunspice that are 4years old, but they are now being used up as a topper over Vitalin and maize with snowman baits. 

The rest of mine are no more than a year old.

My own MegaSpice and Garlic, bright pink, KMG in fluoro red and normal, Monster Crab in purple and some Raspberry and Black Pepper in pink.

The last one has not produced a single fish so they are being replaced

100% agree on location being the most important factor, combined with a little bit of luck and your onto a winner.
