If you are talking about tetraterpenoids then they are organic pigments might not dye bait as such but they are nature's dye. At the levels recommended in research papers, such as 50mg/kg of feed for one that comes to mind, they won't give much colour.

Azo dyes are used in some baits but strictly speaking I think they are now only supposed do be used in non-feed bait such as hookbaits only.

I still haven't blanked since June 😊
Fishing this weekend, hopefully the run of luck continues.
Just made 20kg of bait. And 150 hand rolled corkball wafters..
Slight tweak to the mix adding Robin Red hydro with all the 80s ingredients that used to stain the fish red.. looks the nuts!

I’d start off by substituting 100g of the SG60 for 100g milks and PDFM , the fruit stim is quite high too , if it’s anything like BAF’s fruit sense you’ll only need 4-5g max

I thought that looked a decent mix to be honest. With couple of additional powdered attractors I think I’d pretty much use that as is. Not sure on the tropical fruit personally. I prefer my big fish mixes to smell unpleasant, not a fan of Carp sweets other than for runs waters.
