Shows a decent base mix and a few additives can produce. Makes you wonder why people pay £12 a kg.

used the boilies as hookbaits as well they liked them so much that they took the hookbait and rig aswell as freebies
Once upon a time we all fished like that...Of course, nowadays this tactic is called 'matching the hatch'. There is nothing new in carp fishing, just new terminology.

Not much on patshull park mix recently probably because its winter and the fish have slowed down. Looking at starting a baiting campaign on a new water which has never been fished for carp. Any suggestions on another base mix i could try as looking at trying another one just for fun and experience. Been looking at BAF 50/50 mix aa it says it can be used on its own. Id just add a liquid food spices and maybe a flavour to the mix. Would that be okay.

I would just carry on using what you was before. You know it works.
No doubts, Just find feeding fish on the new water.

HG i wouldnt go making another bait until your happy with your first one you will end up with 3 or 4 different baits and not truly know what was effective and why.

I actually used a combination of patsull Park mix with the liver and Robin Red mix but with added yeast and some whey protein for one year with liquid liver and Csl. However that was a while ago when Robin Red was something special, I can assure you it's nowadays it's nothing like it used to be.

Maybe drop down to say a 14mm or 15mm nozzle to allow for slight expansion once pushed out.
Stick with JUST one base mix, and attractor package that you like, and just learn how the mix/paste acts and rolls.
Knowledge is key, and practice makes perfect.
The answer to your last mix problem could be a simple tweak, too soft or too hard a paste makes a difference gunning out or manually rolling sausages by a gardener rolling table.

You need to use a smaller nozzle as they expand slightly. It's better to not buy the pre sized nozzles, just get the ones which you cut yourself and just nip bits off until its right

Literally could be down to expansion as the mix comes out, try a swifter movement over the rolling table. I'm sure you've realized bait making can be trial and error in but stick with 1 mix, there's nothing wrong with patsull park.

It's the best way, chopping and changing all the time will teach you nothing

I've recently got back into rolling my own and it's been extremely therapeutic during this present lockdown scenario. I've found that different mixes (I'm using the quality baits ones too - p.park winter, 50/50 fish and superfine 50/50) all swell and gun out differently. Whilst I'm not too fussy about the shape, I found dropping down a nozzle size (e.g 16mm table/14mm nozzle) Lead to more uniformity. For some nice barrel shapes I drop down 2 nozzle sizes. I found that leaving the mix for 5 mins after mixing in - say 2/3rds of the base mix in - gives more consistent rolling, than mixing the whole lot up and resting the ball of paste afterwards.

so for 16mm boilies use a 14mm nozzle?
