I do think the "fishmeals with 10% milks" is an over simplification, fair enough I didn't know which part of the statement you agreed with lol my bad.

I agree blends tend to work better than out and out purest forms ad certainly, there is no one category of ingredient that provides a complete food source on the market. and then theres the "hydrodynamics" per say of ingredients such as solubility, buoyancy etc

I think a lot of the top baits being made now are, although different, all hitting that same level of quality, through a blended appropriate diet.

Particles is a funny one, on some venues they destroy boilies but I think the current generation of big fish in British waters where basically brought up on boilie.

I've got an interesting situation on a syndicate Ive been accepted on to where its massively rich in naturals and the owner actively encourages that naturals growth, some seriously big seriously well conditioned carp in there so I'll be having a few of those nights where a single bleep has you up as if someones smashed a window downstairs


With regards to amounts of boilies, I think it depends on if laying a trap for a single carp or trying to hold a few fish and catch more! single food bait pop ups are a favourite of mine
