some stuff is better fresh, but you cant beat pigeon conditioner once it smells like its 40% proof

Added Betaine to my hemp and soon had the fish swirling in the margins. Obviously not conclusive proof that it works but certainly a good start to my experiments.

I have been experimenting a bit over the pas two seasons and added some betaine to my mix this year. Must say I'm truly impressed with my results thus far. Loads of other things may have contributed to my catch rate going up, but I absolutely won't take it out of my mix for now.
Doubts here about it having any effect when tossing it in your particles though...

For those in the know (if any are left!) ...If I was to make solution with anhydrous crystals and water what ratio of Betaine to water would be a good place to start?

It al depends on the final dosing you're aiming for.
The higher the concentration, the lesser you need to add to your bait.

Can you compare it with the same mix? Or did you change just more than just adding betaine?
I personally don't like to add to the mix. But I prefer to use it in soaks to spike my hookbaits with it.

I prepared my hemp and put it in a 4 pint plastic milk bottle then added betaine dissolved in water and left it overnight. The problem with Match fishing for carp is that for the first half of a 5 hour match the carp quite often dont feed in the margins, they do visit the margins but dont feed properly until the last couple of hours. In my last match I fed the margins with the hemp and they fed throughout the whole match.

Apologies Neil, he literally asked for exactly that on post 4? Also, with the green swim stim, I am not privy to the betaine levels etc but hardly anyone who has crossed over from coarse fishing would argue it shifted seriously large volumes.
You can both give advice and opinion, as well as answer more binary if a specific question is asked. I have no idea why this stressed you out to the point you felt the need to admonish me for it ? 👍🏼
