The Catchit Labs version of SSA is nothing like the Nash version I used for years unfortunately.

Thats a shame

Sounds like there are no modern alternatives to sense appeals then

Might be worth having a look at the stuff produced by the animal feed industry. If you Google Liverade it comes back with a powdered and liquid hoarse feed supplement. You'll also find simular pet food supplements for dogs etc.. might be what your looking for?

Cheers for the replies

I've also done some reading up on older threads asking the same question

Seems like there are some liverade products available

Sounds like the one that was used in carp bait may not be available due to EU legislation

Wonder what ingredient X is that made the difference?

Have a look at the mirage site. He's released a new range that look at least similar to the original sense appeals

Simular.. probably the same. Marcus bottles sense appeal for the Rod Hutchinson brand.

I said similar as it seems a bone of contention if what it sold as sense appeals now is the same as what was sold as sense appeal a number of years ago.

Not tried the Mirage sense appeals but have used another of his products and its spot on and the best I have used in 10+ years.

Due to his previous business dealings I suspect he can't call them 'Sense Appeal' but his description on his Facebook page read like the original I used 20 odd years ago. He has regular, spice, liver and shellfish versions. If anyone has tried them it would be good if they can share their thoughts on them.

Anything like that from Marcus will be spot on.

Nowadays, I tend to use more family friendly aromas for my bait making. In the early 90's Rod's Monster Crab and Shellfish Sense Appeal were my go to additives. If this is indeed the
real McCoy, then I might just have to just upgrade my extractor fan and have a trip down memory lane 🙂. I used to use Rod's Sense Appeal at 10 ml as per the label, and the crab at just 1 ml in a 7 egg mix. This worked really well , even in a basic cat food boilie. I'm gonna give this stuff a try but if it's a winner, a cheaper bulk option would be good. Around £ 100 a litre is a bit much if you want to get some bait in.

Are you sure?
