Hello mate;

Not sure if you are aware of social media? but prob not the best idea to give an email address on an open forum! 🙄

Also on another forum, some replies to your other post there:

Will 10 ml of flavour + 3 ml of talin be ok for a 1 egg cork ball pop up mix 🤔

As a rule of thumb, I’d start by using about 1/3 of the levels you are suggesting and work from there. 3ml flavour, 1ml sweetener, depending on suggested inclusion rates from manufacturer.

As per MrNuvawun's post below.
When I roll corkballs I always go by the manufacturers recommended levels for a 1lb mix,
Like 2ml Flavour & 1ml Talin. Use that for a 1 egg mix.

Then take it from there. Less is more, you don't want them too strong.

With such as thin skin and you lose some through the boiling/drying process. You can always carefully rehydrate them bit by bit afterwards once dried in a flavour/talin/hydroslate type solution.

A lightbulb moment for me was Jason Hs podcast a while ago when he talks about the hookbait being the one thing you actually want then to eat - not try via attraction. I have never used a synthetic flavour that is palatable at high doses.

In his book Gerry hammond said he liked a high dosage flavour in his pop up mix.

Sorry to mods for posting this from elsewhere but.....

Anyway mate, dont with bother with own hookbaits, apparently maize. tigernuts and even luncheon meat actually work too 😂

It really depends on whether you are trying to use the pop-up as a single hookbait or as a food bait hookbait.

If as a single 'high attract' hookbait, then for a 1egg mix, then the same amount of flavour and additive as for a 4 or 6 egg boilie mix.

If it is as a food bait hookbait then use ¼ of the amount recommended for 4 eggs.

So if for 4 eggs the recommended is 4ml, use 1ml.

 

Now as a personal note, I dislike the 'false' taste of strawberry flavours, yet I absolutely love real strawberries.

In simple terms, I know that I'm not a fish, and they 'taste' chemicals and ph levels over flavours as such, but other than specialist hookbaits, and certain flavours, I don't like overloaded flavour levels. Remember that less is more.
