"Just because some famous angler likes a RR fishmeal.... That does not mean that RR is anything more than Paprika with some extra little bits added"

Sometimes the little bits can make a big difference!

Ok then mate. A dash of vegetable oil and a bit of powdered betaine... These are items cheaper than the Paprika itself

Heat the paprika (or any spices) in a spoonful of cooking oil (corn or sunflower is A1 for carp). This releases a lot of the natural flavours, oleoresins and oils. Smell before and after, the difference will amaze you. Use in bait mix immediately.

You could add some black pepper, some garlic, maybe a little fenugreek to that too at much lower levels than the paprika hot.

Heat it all up like Ashley said, add a small amount of funky chilli oil, or some hemp oil... I bet you end up making something far better than RR, for a fraction of the cost, always available to you personally on an ongoing basis & pretty unique to you.

Thanks for the information & suggestions.

I've recently got back into making my own hook baits & will probably progress to rolling my own boilies again.

No doubt I'll be stinking the place out with various concoctions & thoroughly p***ing my neighbours off in no time.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
