No I mean the standard blood powder, it will sort out your flaa as well, not sure how much of a problem you are having but looking at your mix you shouldn't be having lots of trouble
Are you using lots of liquids?
Maybe try wpc80 too, bare in mind both of these products are very solubole

Horrible stuff that brown blood powder. I think i may have some of that in the shed. Its all a little irrelevent at the min, as i have lost my base mix mixer. I was mixing base 10 or 20kg a time in a brand new concrete mixer my mate (builder) had in his shed as a spare. But his old one broke, so now hes using the one i was using.
Its gonna be hard mixing base in a big bucket after using that mixer. Nothing mixes base mix ingredients like a concrete mixer.

minamino and red venom from cc moores
Not looking for a cheap bait then?
Why not keep the Hemp oil at 20-25ml/kg, and add some CSL again 20-25ml/kg from AA Baits
£10 for liquids that will do 20kg of basemix, and it'll still be as good as it can be.

i worked it out at about 5 quid a kilo if i use 30 ml of both minamino and red venom. the hemp oil is the good oil stuff from tesco.
was just wondering really if 30ml of each would be enough. i have used minamino in baits before and its fantastic stuff. the red venom is down to the fact i prefer having a good kick of chilli in there aswell

Can't help with the Red Venom, i've never used it.
30ml of Minamino sounds like a good start. Got a feeling you may be able to up that a bit. I dont think i'd go any lower with it TBH.
I like the 'Good Oil' at 20ml per kilo. It is the best hemp oil going IMO.

instead of using red venom as the kick could i use a chilli powder or robin red at all and just up the minamino to around 50ml.
i was also considering adding a bit of grated belachan paste although i think i might be over complicating things.

5 quid a kilo seems pretty expensive for a bait your rolling yourself.

true, but you can get a good quality freezer baits for around that if you speak to the right people or buy in bulk. depends whether you like rolling your own though i suppose

i might be over complicating things.
If you wanted to grate some Balachan into the eggs when your making your bait, thats fine. I do something similar in some high attract singles i make. Then just use the minamino at the reccomended level, and 20-25ml/kg of Good Oil.
I can't remember if the minamino is multi nutra fosfor syrup, ppc or whatever else it might be
So cant really remeber if its the one you can really whack in.
As for the 'kick' as you put it, i don't know. I don't think such things matter underwater and think if carp do like that sort of thing, its for some other reason than taste, maybe vitamins, PH changes?? I'd just use some chilli powder or crushed chilli seeds out the supermarket for that sort of thing if you really needed to.

Ive always seen bait making as a feel good factor for not being able to get out fishing as much as you'd like to. Put it like this, i never made my own bait before missus's, kids, mortgages, full time working so on and so on. At least your doing something fishing related right......??
