The ccmoores stuff is not clo at all. You will see what I mean if you buy it! It's the worst version of clo I have ever seen!
Have you tried haiths?

When you google sluis clo than you only hit 'carp' orientated site.
This should be a wake up call for most of you.

The original Clo was different gravy to all the poor imitations available today.It contained the normal seed content with cod liver oil powder,sugar and vegetable protein including spinach.But the main ingredient that made it so different was meat and bone meal a superb enhancer and the reason sluis Clo ceased to be made ( defra interference I believe). Add Clo powder (clop) and chicken liver powder instead.

Yep.
Totally agree all these ‘Original recipe CLO's' are nowhere near, and way too coarse.
Never had to grind down the Sluis CLO, no binding issues.

Yavas you made me have a , thanks mate.

M & B meal is carcinogenic, I believe. Probably best avoided by huming beans.

I use BAF CLO without problems. It is coarser than the Haith's stuff from years ago, but if you mix it a bit wet and then stick it in a plastic bag for a couple of hours, it stiffens up nicely and rolls fine.

CCM 'CLO' is a lot of breadcrumb and soya mixed with seeds. I agree, it's not the best!
The BAF one is good, excellent binder. Quite a strong taste to it and I only use it in fishmeal/savoury Baits.

What I particularly noticed was that last year when Bread Crumb was short and unavailable. ( there were very few returns to the bakeries ) Baf did not not have any bread crumb ,and guess what they did not have any CLO ,nothing to do with a shortage of bread crumb.

"this product is far, far superior to the poor breadcrumb versions out there doing the rounds,"

My normal supplier of bread crumb could not supply ,so I was looking for bread crumb ,they had also sold out ,having read the above previously, I just thought I would see if they still had CLO and no they did not ,Just a strange coincidence ,I'm sure.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
