Iv emailed them last week to see if spice and Paprika included
No reply yet week later ,
So iv added Paprika and  Betaine and few other bits to aa baits list ,
Whats the best Betaine hcl or Anhydrous
And whats a good alternative to BAF B sweetener
Aa baits do Creamy B+ and NHDC sweetener not sure if these will work or not
The fruit part think i go with john bakers plum and maybe ala solar

I prefer the anhydrous betaine.

Nhdc is a great sweetener, but combining 2 sweeteners will carry the sweet taste much further.
So, combine both I would say

Honey or Molasses are great sweeteners - I've used them both in Trop and they've worked well

as BAF do not put Krill in the mix they make its a 100 % better and on top of that their Krill does not cause the bait to float, which is possibly why BAF don't ,put it in.
Qualitybaits has been going for over 30 years , the mix is the exact original Mix.
I would suggest you contact through the site on Spotify if you want to know anything.
I am sure they can add the spice if you want.

" Aa bait need get this mix on there website with all the extra goodies needed"
All you need is the base mix with or without the spice ,better with the spice and Qualitybait's Squid flavour and you will have an exceptional bait , the rest of the bits are not really necessary, just adds disproportionately to the cost of the bait.

How does the Trop compare to the AA baits HNV fishmeal?

I wouldn't mind giving one or both a try.

With the Trop you have a declared list of ingredients with the inclusion quantity, you do not with the other base mixes you buy.

Yeah I will....i went through all my rolling stuff and I literally have everything extra that's in the HMBB's recipe.

I've tried to join HMBB on FB 3 times now with no joy so I'll take that as a sign

The group. Stephen was the soul behind it, and since he passed it has certainly not been as interesting. But there is still a lot of good information on there, as long as you get get through the rubbish with people claiming they are making hydro's, which in reality are fermentations.
