No idea, maybe people should be asking those questions. I only mentioned it because I'd read it before somewhere,here most likely or over on the black forum possibly. I get what you mean about not putting enough in to cause problems, but again going back to peanuts you are well aware I'm sure of the detrimental effect they had in some waters back in the day? One of the best carp baits there is imo, but must be used in moderation or health issues soon arise.

Well just looked at some different cat biscuits which all contain roughly 35 mg /kg of cupric sulfate and people have used cat biscuits for years as surface bait and boilie ingredient without any known issues.

Then add in that once it goes in the lake a lot of it is diluted down anyway. At those levels you would have to literally put tonnes and tonnes in to se any effect
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
