Has anyone used BAF's bulk fishmeal basemix. According to the description it looks similar to a well know mix. Would be interested in if rolls well and catches fish? £70 for 20kg seems pretty reasonable too.

Are you looking to use plenty of bait & do you usually use plenty of bait while fishing?

Looking to stock up the freezer whilst have a bit of time on my hands. Also have a trip to France booked later in the year, so if that goes ahead, then I'll need a fair bit of bait yes.

Am sure it'll catch & roll well. Bit of a leap of faith buying ready rolled / base mixes as your never sure of the quantities etc.
The way I used to look at it is if I was applying lots of bait then a very simple fish meal mix would do as the breakdown/leakage would be plenty but if using small amounts I'd want the bait super charged.
Hope that makes a bit of sense?!

Yep that makes sense. I've rolled bait before using various recipes including the BM1 but I always found I'd have bit left over of one or two ingredients which decreases the cost efficiency. Also mixing the dry stuff together is a bit of bind. Buying a premixed base mix is a bit of compromise, but allows a few tweaks for how you are describing. Looking at the description, seems the BAF one might be loosely based around the Pete B mix so looks like a decent base from which to build.

It does not give you much of an idea what is in the mix on the website , just says bulk fishmeal base mix.

BAF
Bulk Fishmeal Basemix
Contents: Fishmeal and Fish Solubles, Wheat and Wheat derivatives, Maize Flour, Micronized Soya, Whey Protein Concentrate (80%).
Crude Protein 60-65%, Fat content 12-15%, values given are approximate and may vary slightly batch to batch.
I'm puzzled by the above taken from the BAF web site.
Crude protein 60-65%
Contents Crude protein
Fishmeal and Fish Solubles 60-70% ( being generous as if it contained LT Fish they would say so)
Wheat and Wheat derivatives 12-14 %
Maize Flour 14%
Micronized Soya 45-48%
Whey Protein Concentrate 80%
Can someone clever than me demonstrate how with those ingredients, they can produce a base mix with the stated protein content of a minimum of 60%?

You would need to have a reasonably accurate idea of amounts of each ingredient to work that out TBH, and some other ingredients may not be listed

All speculation because I don't know the exact ratio's or percentages, but if it is say 50% fishmeal, 20% whey and the rest it might not be far off as stated

I ordered 10k of aa baits hnv fishmeal Mix looks smells and rolls perfectly no complaints from me
Ideal base to add to although on paper has plenty going for it already
