Maize is ridiculously under used by anglers.
You catch less of the wary fish on it due to its colour to be fair, but its still mega.
into 5kg + juice still warm I add high fructose corn syrup, a human grade food seasoning and a bit of mollases, which works to tone down the colour a bit which I do like to do for the above reason.
fresh or pukey it just keeps working as you say. I always mixed it with other baits out of habit

I'd never waste money on prepared particles. Always prepare my own and I then know it's been done properly. Also massively reduces costs. It's not exactly hard to prepare particles and not even time consuming. Why wouldn't you...

cant beat maize when it goes as you said ''pukey'' personally all particles apart from nuts are better after a weeks ferment. i followed a fermented garlic hemp recipe i saw on the forum, the wife said she'd divorce me if i ever made it again. but after the crater formed on my spot i considered it a good trade off
but some people rave about how well particle does fresh out the pan. strange isnt it.

Slightly off track but what preservative can I use to avoid freezing what I prepare for myself, in this case a nut mix. What's in the prepared stuff that stops it going off. Thanks.

I.e the jars without the liquid goodness?
Soon as you finish cooking them pour them hot onto a colander, count to ten to let drain then throw into a baking sheet and let steam dry, then mix about 70ml per kilo of monopropylebe glycol into the tigers and leave for a few days.
Either vacuum pack or store in sealed containers.
A much better method is a ban Marie potting style process previously advocated by Ken on here who I'm sure will post the details. Slightly more involved I think. But I do believe it's the pasteurisation that preserves with his method and once opened are free to go off and gunk up.
I personally think tigers benefit from being kept as nutri ally as possible

If it's tigers you just can put them with the boiling liquid in a bucket and keep them cool. They will be ok for months.

Can you add csl to a freezer box before soaking groats and pigeon mix in boiling water, so the particles take on the csl liquid? Or does this method kill the Csl. I know it's a ingredient in boilies which are boiled so I'm guessing it should be ok?

Add all liquids afterwards, once the temperature of the liquid cools to about 45 degrees, a warm environment makes most things get there funk going
if its dead CSL ( virtually all of them save BAF or people BAF supply ) then I'd not worry about adding it until cooled as you'll not reap much benefit otherwise.
Boiling the granny out of it isn't best in my opinion.
There is some stuff doing the rounds at the moment that can be made to froth with a "catalyst" but its no where near as good as the stuff BAF get.
