I had a quick look for you. Could not find sardine & anchovy. Lots of anchovy meal on there though. They do samples. 25kg minimum this seller.



Same seller does a lot of other meals. 25kg minimums on all. Quite a lot of stuff that you see in the UK all gets imported from abroad by the tonne anyway.

Sweetcorn was just an exemple Tyto, it's a very good bait.
Trust me i have used LT94, Krill, squid etc.... All have caught well but it's not what i ´m after.

Thank's Tcarper ! I have looked a bit and found interesting things ! I have sent mail to see if sample are possible as i don't want to order 50 kg of a wrong stuff

Thank's for the help lads

I found this in Italy that has herring meal 999 in 25 kg sacs. It's not sardine meal but it's very similar

I don't know if they deliver to France, maybe you can ask them

I'm sorry but I don't know how to create a direct link like the LINKY POO

Here you can find sardine or anchovy meal, but a bit expensive indeed

Sardines are just young Herrings anyway mate. They are the exact same thing. Sardines are the name given to any young fish in the Herring family of oily sea fish.

It's the very high natural oil content in them that makes them so attractive to carp/pike. The specific reason that I hydrolyse Sardines & Mackerel. Oily fish.

Good find

I used herring meal in my latest mixes as AA didn't have any LT94

Those links look good although I think a 25kg bag would be wasted on me as it would about 4-5 years to use it all

I never knew until I was told don't worry

I found out off TackleBox Gary, they sell a lot of dead baits in the shop. Apparently there is no such fish as a Sardine in reality. It's just that general name given to any small/juvenile fish from the Herring family.

And just to confuse everyone further, when a sardine grows up it can be called a pilchard. For hundreds of years, biologists have been painstakingly classifying planet Earth's fauna and flora just so that we can call things what the Hell we want Lol. This was highlighted recently on the news, with fish and chip shops flogging Asian catfish as cod or haddock. Blooming rascals !

Well I never...

I never knew all this sardine/herring naming either.

I've had my finger hovering over some bits on Aliexpress/baba a few times. I'd never considered fishmeals though. There are so many other far out interesting and different ingredients on there for sure.

I had wondered how legit some of it might be.... some of the order units being in kilometers and being sourced from Sardinia etc


Time for a coffee and another poke around the webstores
