You may very well have, but i'd hazard you dont have the combined experience of all my customers who actively choose chilli and garlic hemp.
And you're correct, too many investigative triggers can begin to nullify each other, but these 3 very different items have very different compounds working in very different ways.

That's the thing nick, if they choose to add garlic and chilli every time, how do they know how it compares to plain stuff ? Unless you constantly fish both those side by side you'll never really know for sure. They may be missing a trick by not using plain, just as much as I may be in sticking with plain everywhere. We ain't fish. We don't "know" anything regarding bait at all. It's all just a matter of opinion

Likewise hemp is great, to good sometimes, preoccupation .I usually mix it up with stuff, unlike years ago , over the last few years I have got a few jars of hemp with the chillies in and found it very very good for holding fish, I can't prove its been better than normal hemp, but my confidence is higher now with the chilli.
And garlic well that's always been a winner in its various forms over decades, best was amino compound with garlic by solar.
With the hemp less is more, put far to much in years ago

They all used to use normal hemp lol.
I'm personally not hugely bothered as I am in the fortunate or unfortunate position where 99% of my angling is field testing, I don't have time to relax and enjoy the tge final product once it's all signed off as there is always something else ticking. Been experimenting with lots of different bits recently most of which don't combine well with particles / are designed for different feeding situations etc etc.
But some of these experience anglers out most people I've spoken to to shame with their ability and some of them have the knowledge they could genuinely sell very good gear themselves so I tend to listen and throw ideas around with them and there is a undeniable link between carp and chilli, on certain venues.
I prefer tigers and maize anyway 😂

Didn't everyone used to use normal lol?! Like you say too, on certain venues chilli can make a huge difference, on others though not so much, and I've had plain gear consistantly outdo spiced up gear on other places. There's no hard and fast rules where carp bait is concerned. I'll agree on tigers, but maize, that's 3rd or 4th for me at best. As far as particles go, most have their day imo.

In most of the cases people buy stuff due to a hype created by someone else. In addition, they never thoroughly test it.
Sheep are still sheep and follow the herd without questions asked

I've had a good result using heavily baited maize. Caught loads of tench amongst the carp though. No bream strangely enough. Everything has its day I suppose. Trial and error, takes guts to be brave enough to go all in on a bait that's unproven on a water. I don't have the banktime to do it any more so just use what I know will catch. Might not be the ultimate bait, however I am confident it will catch a few.

I've always done well with maize too, most of it fishing abroad though and heavily baiting with it , I haven't used hemp in years though tbh , well not in any quantity anyway

Actually I seem to attract the more discerning customer who understands bait, and I can't deny their arguments in conversation?
