It might be good, but its not L030.
Sticky's liver always seemed quite runny when compared to other stuff I've used, BAF for example.

As a hydrolysate I found it absolutely not worth the hassle of doing when poultry and porcine can be sourced at great quality.
I know a lad off of hear used to sell it dehydrates into a powder and ground down but that's certainly not hydrolysed.

Sorry just seen this, The sticky stuff I've seen is standard thickness? I know it to be a pure product so its likely any thinning has occurred through age and seperation, which can happen if its static for a while in the shop etc. should be a thick custard consistency

It is not the same, but when Seagarden looked for an replacement it was the closest thing they found.

It's in the MOD Area Nick as it got out of hand as per the norm in the Bait section..but....
Fermented Maize
Take 1lb of dry maize.
Soak in a bucket with warm water, and some raw cane sugar. Just a table spoon full or two.
Soak this for twelve hours.
Boil it up for ten minutes.
You do not want to break the maize by boiling it. The kernels should remain intact.
Once boiled, drain, and place back into a small bucket.
Add a big hand full of raw cane sugar whilst still hot, and shake up.
Put the lid tightly on the bucket... Then place on a radiator, or in direct sunlight for at least forty eight hours, thirty six is even better.
Don't peek, just leave the lid on. No new air must enter the bucket, for the very best results.
Now take the lid off, and throw a handful of natural salt onto them.
Shake the maize up... It's now good to go.
You have helped to get things kicking inside the maize itself.
The heat and the sugar, have helped the maize to ferment. The salt will help to sort of freeze, or slow down this fermentation for you, for longer use in an angling situation. What you have now, is super charged maize. You only need a handful around each rod with your other free bait.
It will make a big difference. It's time specific. When it starts to smell strongly of alcohol, the magic is gone. Start again.
EDIT: Tell a lie, it's

is it that good compared to normal prepared maize?
I feed it on the Thames, but never use on the hook due to ravenous bream

Going to give the belachan fish sauce a go Mozzi. Will with belachan dilute in to the fish sauce so I can coat pellets etc? If not What's the best way to dilute a block into liquid form? Cheers

Sorry, didn't answer this as someone inboxed me for the exact same thing!
Belechan Slurry
Grate 1 block into either a bucket or food processor
add 400g fish sauce
blend
or if in bucket, leave overnight, then use a whisk or plasterers paddle.
its "sort of " pva friendly as well due to the sheer volume of salt in it, you can definitely inject a bag or dip a stick just before casting no issue.
The saltiness makes it fantastic on fishmeals all through the spring, you cannot over do.
