Again, I don't use flavours so I'd always say no. Each their own though

If you want some nice barrel shapes, try dropping down 2 nozzle sizes. So for a 14mil table use a 10mil nozzle, 16mil table, 12mil nozzle. Oops just noted ip100 has already mentioned this. Sorry!

Instead of or in addition to a flavour you want some good hydrosolate. BAF liver hydrosolate and squid hydrosolate is very good add around 50ml to a kilo of mix

Hi everyone looking at making my own pop ups for the coming season
so far this is the mix:

AA baits pop up mix
AA baits 3ml pepparami flavouring
AA baits liver amino liquid food 5ml

once made i am going to coat them in AA baits green lipped mussel.

What do you think? should i swap the flavour for an essential oil?

Hi guys I've started making my own bait also which has worked quite well.
But! I can't remember the betaline ratio to flavoured essence.
I put 10ml of essence per egg.
But I can't remember if it's double the betaline or ??
Any help would be great fully received as I've got all the ingredients out and the misses is having a melt LMAO!!

It's going to depend on a few factors. There is no set ratio.
I tell you what through, it definitely won't be twice the amount of your “essence” (which sounds high depending upon whether you're using an actual flavour or just using some kind of essence from the supermarket)!

20 mil of Betalin per egg is a crazy high amount and would most likely repel the fish.
If you're making highly flavoured pop ups/hookbaits I would start with 1 mil per egg.
If this is for your feed bait then you're probably better off with around 1 mil per 5 egg mix, depending upon the rest of your mix.

Thank you

You're welcome. Just be aware that what is nice to us might not be to carp!
We have totally different sensory systems.
Good luck.

Noticed you're a fellow Gloucestershire man. Feel free to pop me a message further down the line if you need any help.
Are you sure?
