If you damp down some pellet with liquid and oil, throw a couple of handfuls of the mainline cloudy spod ground bait in and shake to ‘dust' the pellets then it creates a huge cloud when you Spod/spoon/chuck it into the water. The cloud plooms off the pellets as they drop to the bottom.

This method did me a fair few winter bites.

I thought somebody might know what the cloudy bit was in the mix.

I once heard frank Warwick mention that koi carp clay clouds very well. Maybe that is a better option?

Yes it can, there's quite a few articles in it now. It SHOULDNT but then a lot of stuff shouldn't happen.

People like DEFRA only get involved if it's detected / reported / comes up on inspection? Clouds have to align for that.


Cost is the prohibitory factor as if based in Europe your distribution is land freight, else there would be loads of material for someone to start making milk proteins in the U.K. and make use of the by product

what are you on about? you are saying milk goes DIRECTLY in to the watercourse as a liquid when it is used in animal feed and sprayed on to fields?

Farmers are not putting milk down the drain ,If they had to get rid of some which would be a rare occurrence it would probably be spread on the land or put in the slurry system.
A lot and maybe most milk proteins are recovered from Butter and cheese making.

To answer the posters question which none of appear to be able to
Titanium Dioxide is probably what produces the white cloud from the various dips , before you all throw your hands and anything else up in horror its also used in toothpaste and cheese as well as other things to make those white as well.
Used to be used in Boilies but now banned by the EU in case a fish eats it and a human then eats the fish ,load of nonsense I know we can eat it directly but cant eat something that has eaten it.
As it is in a dip not the Boilie I presume it is considered they are not eating it .

From Google
Is titanium dioxide harmful to the body?
Should you avoid it? To date, titanium dioxide is considered safe for consumption. Most research concludes that the amount consumed from food is so low that it poses no risk to human health

What is titanium dioxide used in?
Because of its bright whiteness, it is used in products such as paints, coatings, papers, inks, toothpaste, face powder, and food colouring. Even though it is one of the most-produced chemicals, the real and potential benefits of titanium dioxide are not without controversies.

Errr several people have suggested very good answers to the op

Not sure how insoluble titanium dioxide, used as white boilie dye since the 70's, is going to make a very good cloudy liquid much better suggestions already on this thread

Titanium dioxide is still sold by the likes of CC Moore, AA Baits etc 'for hookbaits only' (although eBay is probably cheaper) so if home rolling there is nothing to stop you using it regardless of any EU laws
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
