WD40, make the bait go through them so quick they're always back for more.

There are several such amino acid-rich liquids on sale in the UK, many are widely available over the counters of most chemists...

Minamino
Phosphorlycolamine

...are just a couple. They are unlikely to be anyone's 'secret' as they have been widely used in carp fishing for the past thirty or forty years.

I put great importance on the vitamin content of my fresh bait and there are a couple of excellent vitamin rich liquids that I use...

Floradix
Minardex Multivitamin Liquid (not to be confused with Minardex Tonic, which is now discontinued).

... these are available online or in some chemists.

What's your inclusion level with the liquid multivits please Ken? And assume you add to liquid egg to emulsify? Thanks.

Do you think you could use these in a spod mix as a liquid additive?

Of course you can, can be heavier handed too, it's going to get diluted a lot. Also used as a neat glue/bait sprays, particles, method mixes, the worlds your Oyster really. As said been around for yonks, very popular in the 90's, seem to have fallen out of favour for hydros as of late.

Ok I was thinking it was a glue like constancy, possibly thicker that you could water down?

Which one was the better?

Just going back to the 'big hit' theme, I've never 'got' this attitude towards our chosen hobby. At some point, the buzz of outwitting a carp must have diminished to such a low level that as soon as the whole reason for doing this (and spending thousands of pounds of hard earned money in the process) is in the net, these guys are mentally now focused on catching another one, (and repeat), the carp just caught that is held in the net has become a meaningless creature, and now is purely a statistic. Is this not a bit sad? You go through all of the processes required to catch a carp, and when you do you are more keen to dick about trying to get another one without enjoying the moment.. It must be a highly diminished level of satisfaction, so in real terms these guys are not the best anglers at all, as they are not truly appreciating their surroundings and achievements. Maybe it is a topic for a separate thread..

Or, who would you rather go for a pint with from the below list:
Tom Maker
Kevin Hewitt
Mark Bartlett
Chris Yates


Sorry, back to Kev's wonder juice now..
