The father of the lad who owns catchit was close to rod Hutchinson I believe.

It means I can use less to make my bait smell the way carp anglers want it to smell.

Exactly, more bait sales for ANY company if it smells nice to the human nose, the missus is then happy to allow your bait in the food freezer, and also catches a few carp too

I have tried so many versions of scopex and tutti and pineapple and aniseed and bunspice and squid and octopus. I now shop around as I find everyone has good ones and bad ones. Rd Campbell used to make some awesome flavours (thin, strong, alcohol flavours that you could use in hookbaits) but now they are no more I reverse engineer some and my tie with another bait maker has led me to another company who make flavours almost identical to the rd ones. Catchit make some awesome flavours though.
Has anyone ever found a scopex powdered flavour or palatant that is good?? Please pm me if you don’t mind sharing?

For me it’s a nice strong smooth smell (I’m sure the carp have no idea what I’m talking about) and it tastes ok compared to some. It means I can use less to make my bait smell the way carp anglers want it to smell. I’m sure blends did a real nice one too. Didn’t catchit have ties with rod Hutchinson back in the day? My memory fades with the more flavours I smell.

No, different stuff. Diacetyl smells like butter, diacetin does not smell much.

Viking - is diacetin the same as diacetyl?

So trying to be on topic:

Diacetin is available. It was the carrier used in Scopex and several other R.H. flavours. According to R.H. all of the diacetin based flavour was succesful, and he concluded that it possibly was an attactant on its own ( in Carp Now And Then, 1986)

Hi Greekskii,

Cam has already given a warning about locking this thread.

You coming on to just offer insults is just adding fuel to the fire.
