mmm - depends on your POV - have you ever actually done this . . ?

In a small syndy with a low stock why compete against each other especially if fish are hooked on naturals / holed up in weed 95% of the time? . . By everyone feeding a quality food bait of the same label then by effectively pre-baiting for each other you can make a MASSIVE difference to everyone's results, but most importantly your own . . .you've still got to be able to fish properly in the first place!

Do the same as everyone else, catch the same as everyone else...a different bait can be a huge edge, and catch you that one that doesnt get caught....

. . .all depends on the water(s) you fish. Agree a different bait / spot can catch you different fish, but on some syndicates (that are judged on bites per season) competing against other anglers can sometimes make it more difficult . . .

I fished a lake like this - top rod was 18 fish for the season which was an amazing result. After agreeing between ourselves as members we all switched to the same bait the following season and effectively pre-baited for each other simply by fishing . . .suffice to say everyone's results improved expediently . . .just sayin . . .!

Where do you get your pigeon conditioner? I like the looks of the buckstons 20kg one with hemp oil in for £13

Years ago I used to use the Bucktons pigeon conditioner with aniseed in, it worked great and easy to prep in an old cool box Great value for money if your looking for lots of bait especially if you combine it with vitalin dog food.

Why vitalins dog food? Can it be any dog food. How did you distribute your buckstons pigeon conditioner. I don't have a spod rod so I have to be able to ball it up and fire in a catapult

Vitalin is a brilliant bait, and balls up really well so perfect for what you want. Other brands may be ok, it depends on what's in them really. But vitalin is cheap as chips so no need to look anywhere else really

Vitalin is a mix of flaked maize, oats, meat and bone meal. You look at it, and it looks like a dry groundbait😉

It only needs water adding, mixing, letting soak in for around 15minutes, and will then ball up nicely.

If you add particles with the juice like pigeon conditioner, you can add them in exactly like the water.
It still balls up nicely, and can also be moulded around the lead and hookbait like a Method groundbait.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
