Active 8 def had fishmeal in it, when I mucked about with it around 2000/2001. Maybe not at the 40 to 50% levels of Geoffs mixes, but at lower levels, but it was noticeable by taste, texture and smell. Prov66 and Liver/ Keramine I thought, could not detect any PDF though.

I wouldn't think twice about using Mainline, very good bait, I have seen what it has caught. The difference is what they do with the basic ingredients, the clue was there, activ...
Activ8 has fishmeal, ive rolled it, a while ago now

Would you say that it's fair to say that Mainlines and ABS new(er) baits are most effective because of the liquid additives?

That's exactly how I see it mate. Levels, the whole lot. The change in colour of the base mix, was undoubtably more up to date soluble fishmeal, than Pro66. These tend to be lighter.
It's unquestionably a fishmeal based bait.

Mainline use enzymes in their freezers, that makes a difference I assume.

I don't know EXACTLEY what is in them unfortunately so cant give a honest comment.
I have rolled and used Activ8 like I already posted and I know that the base mix ingredients were pretty basic that's why I came to the conclusion it was the liquid that was the real attractant, but its probably the combination in reality. Activ as in fermentation, yeasts, sugar products, CSL etc. active... What's the white coating that they develop...
Happy to be wrong, I'm sure Mark or somebody can shed some more light on this?
I know the ABS baits have yeasts, carbs and sugars in them, the nut range, the I Bait is supercharged with them, I spoke to them the other month about their bait

The Grange bait from Mainline contained fish meal.
It's the whole package that makes these baits whether they contain expensive or cheap ingredients.

Ok so I quickly went on the mainline page and looked for active 8 basemix. It says that activate is not a fishmeal but contains 8 ingredients some of which are new to carp fishing. Can anyone shed some light on this. I'm not trying to start ww3 mark just stating what I always thought and was told was a mix of semo, soy, maize and additives. I find it odd that they say on the page it's not a fishmeal. I can find out for certain tomorrow

Ok so I can shed some light on the argument. I am wrong and apparantly active 8 did have a tiny amount of fishmeal. There was an article about mainline not using fishmeal around the same time which is why I always thought they didn't use it. The web page says it's not a fishmeal hence why I always thought that was the case. I will hold my hands aloft on this occasion. The lad I know from mainline said it was grange that defo did not contain fishmeal (that was csl semo etc). Apologies mark, no need for ww3

Come on lads what is the date today???😂😂 I knew someone would give me a bite on April 1st! I set this up yesterday so we could have some good old fashion forum Kung fu cos Im bored. To be completely honest I have no idea what mainline use in basemix, do any of us?? Fair play to mark for sticking to his guns and keeping (fairly) cool.
We sell some mainline in the shop and People still ask for Active9.😂😂

So yesterday on the way home my phone rings and its a number i dont recognise, a chap on the other end sounds just like mr hearn himself. He asks about buying some particle and then goes on to say that a well known friend that we have in between (and this bit was true) has been singing our praises and that he loves one of my baits blah blah. Then he says he is thinking about leaving dynamite and looking for a new deal and i start getting all excited thinking that we have finaly hit the big time and all my hard work is paying off..........turns out it was my fishing buddy calling off his works mobile and him and his mates are pissing themselves in the background
i totally fell for it
I guess what goes around comes around
