All krill (or any hydros for that matter) are not created equal. A lot are thinned down or padded out with glycerine. I use the ones from British Aqua Feeds. Top quality. The QB ones may be fine but I've not used them.

I am thinking of making 2 different baits. One with spices, one with marmite.
Could I just mix some marmite with the eggs and hydro before adding the base mix?

You can add marmite to your spice baits if you want. Saves faffing about with 2 mixes

I'll give it a go. I used to love marmite with bait. Nice chunk of cheese dipped in marmite worked wonders on a lake I fished as kid

Nice product, Ken.
I found that while looking for a krill hydro replacement and tipped Luc at Feedstim about it.

I know, but it seem to have that crustacean factor that can't really be measured from a spreadsheet.
Edit:
Hi Dean,
yes that's the stuff.

Does anybody know if the spicy bird and Fish mix is any good from quality Baits?
Thinking of getting a kilo of it to make some for my dad. He used to use chilli fish boilies and loved them.
Will add some krill hydro and 50g of mixed spices to it from the kitchen.

Seems to me there are a lot of people enquiring over the quality baits base mixes. I'm not surprised as they are cheap, that's because they are fairly basic but to an amateur bait maker that is perfect as you can start with a mix that will catch fish - they all will - and tweak it with your own ideas, the spices are an excellent idea...that's the way to learn, trial and error, and you will soon learn what works and what doesn't....
If you are not interested in what makes a bait tick and just want to make an economical bait just use straight out the bag and has been said before just add your liquids and eggs they will all catch.

That's why I looked at their mixes, good price for me to start practicing with.
Once I've made a few batches and am happy that I can do it well I'll be looking at experimenting with my own mix.
