Hi Nick do you have a fairly accurate idea of the ingredients of the old Protivit Liver? I'd be interested if you do.

Liver Powder, Calcium Caseinate, Maize Meal, Semolina, some liquid liver.

I'll double check with a mate who worked there rolling bait, but I'm positive that's it.

Jim now runs 'more takes' bait and has a bait very similar to the original protovit liver called PL2

Thanks all, food for thought.

I think the birds are mainly swans and coots, didn't see any tufties. In my limited experience I have found the coots a little bit less accurate than the tufties although no less persistent. Haven't fished anywhere with 30odd swans and shallow water before though.

I might get a little trial pack of Trent Baits various boilies and test each one in a glass of water out of curiosity.

Take the points that it may make no difference though.

If I remember then I will update this in 6months time once I've done a bit.

Now that's a recipe. Maybe a bit too limited, even to me, but that's all that is needed to catch for years. Always liked their slogan, tails up, heads down, i don't think a posh advertising agency would have come up with anything better.

Tails up will still make Provit liver as a special if people are interested pretty sure its minimum 20kg order.

You'd love my lake, around 100 swans, thousands of coots, tufties and mallards and occasional seagulls that will pick up your bait.

Soaking your baits in Liquid Kelp and Liquid Yeast darkens the bait better, I think, than GLM.
