crunch signals, i think the larger parts when being eaten add to the sound signals

Often over looked is sound. When one carp starts chewing crunchy food the other fish near it can hear them and I believe it can trigger the other fish to come and see what it is eating to get in on the food source

Having said that egg shells wrecked my rolling tables so I don't add them now just a bit of kelp meal which is not quite a crunchy but also doesn't score my rolling tables up.

I haven't rolled any bait by hand for about ten years now but the last times I did it was in very large quantities. We used to use a cement mixer to mix the eggs, liguids, base mix etc. We never used to crack the eggs and to save time just used to chuck the eggs in whole....the carp didn't seem to mind either!
