I'd go with the Patsull Park personally. It's been in their range years and will certainly catch you fish.

It will take about 6 eggs maybe a little more. You can add both if you want but don't complicate it. Roll a small batch with 1 egg and 100-150g of powder see how it feels. Add the powder slowly as you can add to much and it will dry out very quick.
If you want to add the Rod stuff just try 4-5ml.

Or as you are on a budget, just get a bottle of squid brand fish sauce from your local oriental supermarket. 750ml will cost you around £2. Use 5ml per egg.

Use 1kg basemix
100g belachan block and 5g betaine hcl and 20ml salmon oil to help it roll
Or
50g belachan and 50g vecon and 5g betaine hcl and 20ml salmon oil
Add To 7 large eggs. Add the basemix a bit at a time until you get the right consistency which will be a bit doughy like making a cake and not so the mix is to sticky were it sticks to much to your hands. If it is to wet put it into a air tight sandwich bag and leave to absorb the liquids.
You wont need nothing else
I was abit younger than you when I started making my own bait. Trust me it can be so worth while and the results you can have compared to using what everyone else is can be unbelievable.

Do i need these or could i just start off by using the base mix on its own? ( this will be my first time rolling bait)
what is the best liquid food to add to it anyway?

Any hydroslate will do, they are all decent. Some oil to aid rolling, then either the spices or fish sauce.

I think you are getting confused with the conflicting advice. You've decided on quality baits patsull Park mix, good choice, now just pick a liquid from their range, your original choice, liquid liver is a good one as would be their corn steep liquor. You might need a drop of oil, hemp is good in winter, and despite others advice add a flavour, their tutti frutti has a good reputation with my friends.
Try to avoid over thinking it, make your choice, roll your baits and see how you get on, make any changes next time.

Why add a flavour? They are an expensive additive which questionably bring nothing extra to a bait. I've fished the same baits with and without side by side to test and found unflavoured better by some margin.

Simple really a good flavour adds to the initial attraction, well that's my experience, I have to agree that there are a lot of poor flavours about, but find a good one and they will make a ball of semolinai and flour a good bait...a good flavour makes a good bait better.

Couldn't disagree more, if it's a decent bait then it has that initial attraction already within it.
