The science behind it is basically a massive amount of tinkering done systematically.
There is s lot of research showing that various spices can have great effect in bait and feed.

Yeah but various fruit powders available, Nash have used em for years.
Not strictly boilie or even specimen carp fishign related but there was an old boy who always used to float fish on one of the canals near me for carp, bream, tench, whatever took his bait. he was old school with particles and always prepared his own, I remember him saying used to make up his bait on a Friday evening for the next weeks mid week sessions, and his recipe for hemp was 2 pint glasses of dry hemp with plenty of water covering it, 24 hours later replacing the water with clean stuff ( to avoid hemp scum ) about an inch covering the hemp, a lemon sliced in half ( half a lemon per pint dry ) and a big dollop of the cheapest honey he could get.
I have no idea if this prep is what made the difference but he never and I mean never wasn't top rod on the days he fished.
I think he might of been mental, he used to keep a rock hard old bit of parmesan rind in a butter tub with his hook pellets on it, and used spray painted ironmongery fixing such as brackets, hinges, or nuts and bolts for weights lol

Not disagreeing with you chap, just saying I don't need science to tell me they work

I've said as much in another thread about an old boy who taught me about groundbait mixes back in the '70"s. Largely misunderstood at the time, . but I saw the results and took heed. Some people still don't understand what can be done to aid attraction without feeding fish to the point they no longer need to pick up your bait.

Given that pineapple contains bromelain this might not be a bad idea!

I don't use liquid egg anymore, but I certainly don't use liquids that are 90% water to hydrate the powdered egg.

You can very quickly over do it in terms of even the best natural hydros. quite simply because although they cannot be done you'll find the optimum inclusion level to be around 150ml per kilo. any more than that ad results don't improve. at least not if added pre-boiling.
Sometimes subtly it best, I've seen carp spook off of lumps of belechan in a fish tank, which is one of the most potent attractors you can use!
Can't say I blame them, my Nan was Singaporean and the kitchen was a no go area at times lol

Scozza, Yes, it is the new nutrabaits product I've got. less than 6 months old.
Cannot comment on the old nutrabaits product as I never used it.

Had a quick nosy on their site a few months ago now, will have another

Jason Rider of A Bait has just released, in limited supply a blend of Hutchinsons Mixed Herbs and Hutchinsons Ultraspice.
Ive not smelt it but if your into spice flavours I reckon this would be amazing. Ultraspice is my absolute favorite flavour of all time. Mixed herbs, im sure most know of that flavours track record, although Ive never seen it such is its rarity.
