Heard of 50kg pop ups that went on a trip to France with some mates once 😂😂 can’t remember which ingredient did it though. 

I feel like I've heard that story before somewhere. Could you find out what it was and what level please 😂

Thanks Nick what I meant when I asked was what % would I need when adding to my basemix to make a matching pop up? I know it's not going to be exact and basemix dependant I was just looking to see if I could make a food bait pop up with it. 

AI isn't perfect but it can be a good tool, I've made loads of basemixes from scratch with it just for fun and I would be happy using some of them. 

That's where I used 50% base mix and 50% sodium caseinate to have a matching pop-up to the base mix. 

The base mixes I used that ratio with were New Concepts Mariner mix and Nutrabaits The Biollix, which were both fairly heavy base mixes.

Usual procedure was make a 4egg mix of normal baits. While the base mix was out I would put around 1eggs worth of powder to one side for the bit for pop-ups and I would sieve the base mix to get rid of larger lumps and then add the same amount volume of sodium caseinate. So if I had 1 measuring cup of base mix, I would add 1 cup of caseinate. One egg in a bowl, add the required flavours/liquids if using any at 1/4 of what 4eggs took then mix as per normal.

I usually had enough pop-up mix left over for another 1 eggs worth of pop-ups.

 

A mate did the same when he used Enervite for his pop-ups, and that must be sieved!

Do you think 10% added to 90% basemix would be enough  make a hookbait buoyant though? 

Or you do you think that means max inclusion alongside other ingredients? 

I can't help thinking if you could make match the hatch pop ups with 10% everyone would use that tbh. 

 

I think, it will all depend on the base mix ingredients.

a one egg mix rather than a bigger mix could easily determine that for you.

Looks like nick has said the same lol 👍👍
