Thanks for the info rivers. I have only just got into bait making so this seems fairly straight forward enough for me to have a go at 👍🏼

Can anybody explain, why this recipe is with a nut oil, instead of a fish oil? There must be a reason...?

I would suggest it's because it's only real purpose in thr mix is to aide rolling and it's more readily available

nut oil is far much cheaper than fish oil. the only purpose of the oil is providing some lipid content and to aid the rolling of the bait

I've used https://www.michaels-wholefoods.com before as they're quite local to me, they do deliver all over however but unsure on cost. They literally have everything but be sure to check the whole catalogue as ingredients are listed in various places throughout. Few years ago, but I dealt with a bloke via email, very helpful. If I remember correctly, 25kg coarse semo, 25kg full fat soya, crate of squid fish sauce, bulk cayenne pepper, fenugreek etc. Hope this helps someone

according to Pete B, The reason for using the nut oil is it fresher than fish oil.

Fresher then fishoil? Cheaper then fishoil? You both think this is the reason for using the nut oil. Ok. I also have no idea why, but I tought there must be a good reason other then the two mentioned.

The nut oil is used because it is cheap.. I think the quantity of oil is for protein sparing. I believe he stated the only benefit of more expensive oils was to lighten your pocket.

My understanding from talking to Pete was the oil was a lipid source and to help rolling, nothing more complicated than that.

I'm sure Pete said with the original mix , there was enough oil in the herring meal to provide lipids and that a bit of veg oil was all that was needed to aid rolling ,
Veg oil is all I ever used most of the time ,
Obviously that lt 94 is dry old stuff 😁
