You're better off going to bacarel or baf mate imo.
You'll get a diluted version and pay carp tax with the known brands mate.
I've had pb's this season on the bacarel tuna diluted with squid brand sauce.
It's works out around £3L.
No brainer for me and it consistently produces.
Tight lines.

I presume you're talking about glugging and coating your free offerings?

I've just had a quick look at the baracel stuff (specifically Tuna). I'm assuming that these liquids are a lot thicker and more concentrated than the carp branded ones and should be diluted before use?

Yep. I'll air dry then rehydrate with the liquid. It's been working very well for me.

Yes the tuna is very thick and sticky, it's great stuff. It'll coat your freebies well but I've had my best results diluting it with the fish sauce.
I warm up the tuna and fish sauce in a pan ( don't do this when the missus is home ) and rehydrate the freebies after I've air dried them.
Just before they go out I'll give them a small coat of the undiluted tuna.

Good to know. When we're saying fish sauce I'm assuming we're talking a supermarket fish sauce rather then another Baracel product? What ratio has worked for you if you don't mind me asking? 1:3 hydro to fish sauce?

That's why the carp branded products aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Squid brand fish sauce. You'll pick it from most Asian supermarkets.
Ratio wise it's probably about that mate. Any excess liquid goes back in the bottle.

Yes. JS seem to be the only major supermarket who carry it now. Tesco used to but seem to have delisted it. Otherwise it's a trip to the Asian supermarket.

Does anyone use particle after summer/in autumn? Or just boilies for offerings?

Sweetcorn, at less than a pound a KG frozen from the supermarkets it makes a good cheap bait that has worked for centuries, a lot easier than messing around with Maize.

Having listened to an episode from Sam and friend on bait, I must say, it was interesting to a point. Clearly Sam and his friend (Pete, I think), know an incredible amount about making bait which for me, right now in my journey is too advanced. All the ingredients they talk about just went over my head and made no sense, although interesting all the same, to a point where I found myself lost in their conversation whilst driving and trying to listen to what they are talking about.
A podcast I did find very useful for this subject and one I will be revisiting again is the Thinking Tackle episode #22 with Simon Scott and Mark Bryant. The way in which they articulate themselves I found to be just what I was looking for. I'm not a huge Korda fan like some, nor am I a fan of any particular brand, but I find these TT podcasts really well put together.
At risk of diverging on to podcasts and away from bait, the aforementioned TT podcast covers a lot of what this thread was created for. Bait approach in Autumn.
Thanks for everyone's input, help and advice.
