I 100 percent believe that no flavour alone is going to turn you into a mega hauler and that you need more substance behind a bait long term.

Definitely agree with this, to be consistently successful, especially long term, a bait needs much more than a flavour not matter how good it might be. But for me using one of the proven flavours provides or at least enhances the initial attraction of a bait, after that taste and possibly nutrition extends the life of a bait, sometimes indefinitely.

But one thing I would say, as an amateur bait maker, over many years I have caught a lot of carp on single hookbaits, and I know this is your business so I'm trying to be tactful here, but despite trying lots of non flavour type additives and trying well know manufacturers product's (not yours admitttingly) I cannot find or make a single hookbait that produces more bites than my own overflavoured baits. Single baits are relying on attraction only and nothing I have used beats a good flavour in this situation.

Interesting, well to me at least, they don't work as well over bait.

I have used several spice attractors in my time and IMHO nothing comes close to Nutrabaits Techni Spice. This is the same blend that is used in their excellent Techni Spice Shelfies, which is probably the best winter time shelf life bait I have ever used. It truly is a marvellous attractor; not cheap but worth every penny.

Ken, is techni spice a sweet spice or a spicy spice smell ?

I know your not involved with the latest Nutrabaits set up, but do you think your tried and tested version of the techni spice is the same as the current available version do you know ?

over the last few seasons I have played around quite a lot with certain flavour profiles in single hookbaits. The most successful one I have found was premier baits indian spice.

I'm biased, but I don't believe you will get better than Bait Bros for a traditional spiced EA flavour.
Can also tweak flavours to your specification.
Happy to help via PM.

Somebody once told me that Techni spice was a combination of sweet nutraspice and spice cajouser which I have used the latter with good success, considering the cajouser was black like tar I doubt it, techni spice is clear and the sweet nutraspice used to separate, again the techni spice does not, as I am aware. Sure Ken can confirm?

Why use a spice flavour when you can use real spice? Way better imo

The UTCS The Techni Spice liquid I have got colour wise, is like a soy sauce, or weak cola brown, definetely not clear nowadays.

Why make daft comments like that? They are clearly very different items
But Tbh, why use a flavour full stop.
Are you sure?
