I don't think you can go wrong with any John Baker flavour.

Your mate is talking rubbish chap, pre made basemix works perfectly well if rolled correctly and you use a decent one

Was gonna say, and isnt it also cheaper? only thing is im borrowing his rolling gear so i may ened up having to abide by his way of bait making which he said is to use a 50/50 mix then add whatever you want for the other 50% of mix.

It works out cheaper to make your own if you can buy and store it in bulk, and will use it so as its not stored for too long. But as you are new to making bait its way better to get the hang of it with a pre made mix. His idea of buying a 50/50 then just using whatever else shows his lack of understanding as that is a very vague description of what to do. You could add a load of other stuff which makes the bait unusable very easily.
Bare in mind that to make something good from scratch, to make it cheaper than something like the patishull Park mix, will mean buying ingredients in bulk sacks, meaning you could have 100kg or more of basemix to make it cheaper per kg than pre made, and stuff all has a shelf life, so unless you are going to be using that amount of bait within a few months it's really not the way to go imo.

You are talking yourself out of a good bait.....no a 50/50 baits gas nothing to attract or feed the carp.... stick with the Patsull park mix and liver (plus a flavour) and stop asking any more questions

Mate stop overthinking it, you can make cheaper bait, but it will be less effective. Way less. Patihul Park mix, hydro, spice, oil, job done, good bait for less than a fiver a kg

patshull park + liquid liver + postage = 30.50 so it would be 6.10 a kg which isnt too bad
i may also make some pop ups

When I was your age HG I used to spend more time with the baits out of the water mate. I used to follow the good anglers in the AT,AM Carp Talk etc. Used to get a lift or bike it and watch these guys. Tommy Pickering, Kevin Ashurst, Billy Makin, Dave Harrell etc. I eventually fished against a couple of those but unfortunately never with. But the best angler I've ever sat behind and been pegged against was Bob Robert's. He could have an audience or one person behind him and explain why he was doing something. You don't have to grind away on forum's to get invaluable experience mate. Many ways to put fish on the bank, good. bait( not magic bait) and good angling will do it, tight lines.

You'll have loads of liquid liver left. How much are you ordering ? You won't need more than 30ml per Kg
