Mainline cell does well at my local lake and I'd like to get into making my own boilies, is the base mix that important when using the cell activator or could i use a cheaper alternative based off coconut?
Also is it worth splashing both multi stim and meta mino into the base mix or not?

I wouldn't worry about the coconut. I have used the activator in the past using a bird food / milk / nut type mix. It worked well in conjunction with a little scopex, black pepper EO and a small amount of brocacel yeast.

A mate of mine has rolled and sold to friends a tiger nut base, with added robin red and spices with the cell activator for years and it catches fish everywhere, I use it through the winter months with added liquid liver and it's brilliant, can't fault it, lovely red colour too that stands out on the silty lakes I fish.

I wouldn't skimp on the basemix buddy. If you want it on a nut base then Trent baits Active nut would be ideal and good value.

Cell activator with aabaits tiger nut base mix works very well

When you add up the liquids,basemix and eggs is it really worth doing.The price of decent bait now seems to make it alot of hassle for not much saving or am I missing something

It wouldn't be difficult to make a very similar basemix very cheaply...a lot of basic binders, micronized cereals, bit of milk etc and you wont be far off

I have never looked at the Cell activator but didn't someone say its basically Celmanax? If it is then save your money and just buy Celmanax at 15-30ml per kg of base mix

Does anyone have experience with the cell activator? Is it really a liquid food and does it give a coconutty smell to the bait?

yes

Soy based milk replacer as opposed to milks I THINK but can't be 200%.

Certain contains a lot of binders over never known a bait like it, it's got a weirdly firm sponge like texture, I only know two high levels ingredients that do that

All these fancy names for a simple product. Everythings either active, activated or hydrolized

I do wonder if the cell activator is worthwhile. Mainline state you mustn't add any other liquids. It adds 1,5 pound to a kg of bait and if it's just celmanax with a coconut flavour,...... Hmmmm, not too sure

I'd ignore that advice personally, you can add anything to virtually anything. Although not complimentary to our noses, fish hydros would be equally effective on a nut basemix
