Is wholemeal semolina the same as the organic wholewheat brown semolina? or something else altogether?

same thing. Wholewheat = wholemeal. The Enervite was indeed a great bait. Used it loads on a ressie I used to fish before fishmeals became popular. The fish all ended up with red bellies.

"mixed spice" as it comes is mainly cinnamon and coriander with clove, ginger, nutmeg, caraway and fennel so it was probably just that they used in Enervite,

It might be slightly different from supplier to supplier but cinnamon and coriander are definitely the main ingredients.

(Sainsbury's Ground Mixed Spice is cinnamon, coriander seed, dill seed, ginger, cloves and nutmeg).

Years ago in an effort to save money I made a homemade version of Enervite, and after the faffing I went back to the real deal. Weybread Number 1 fish absolutely loved the stuff, more so than the fishmeals that were starting to be piled in.
I still used Nutrabaits Geranium Terpenes as the essential oil.

Same season also showed me how overdosing peanuts and tigers could switch a venue off. It wasn't me who used them and after they had been piled in the lake switched off for weeks.

Enervite Gold with Strawberry, Cream and Bergamot, another classic that produced fish when I couldn't or hadn't prebaited at the start of the season.

No, it was changed a little last year & 'improved' with some ingredients being swapped.

BFM.... does make me laugh when people talk about this being original. 50% fishmeal, 25% milks, and apart from half an ounce of kelp, the rest CLO and Robin Red.

And the difference between this and Premiers Spiced Fish, which was out at least 2 years before BFM is....?????

Yeah, original idea by Geoff.
DM got it, the BFM idea, off of Geoff whilst he was fishing the tip lake and Longfield.
Back then, if you didn't have a fishmeal bait, you couldn't compete, and Nutrabaits needed one ASAP.
The fish food mix didn't really stand out.

Improved ?
