Hey guys, any advice would be appreciated.

I'm starting on a new water and i know a fair few of the members are on a particular fish meal that's attractors are fenugreek, cheese and garlic.

I want to carry on using the base of a boilie I have confidence in but change the attractors. Was thinking of adding 10g per kg of fenugreek, 10 drops of N-Butyric and 1 drop of essential garlic oil per 5 eggs and perhaps add a spicy note of 5-10g of chilli powder. Any issues here?

10ml of salmon oil and 10ml tuna extract per 5 eggs also.

Thanks
JamieH

If you have confidence in your existing mix then I would definitely start the new water with that. You know it works and the key thing is... you have confidence in it.

See this I do agree with but I also think is there an advantage of getting ahead of the game with something the carp are somewhat familiar with. After all the base is what's most important right?

The base is what has majority of the functionality and nutrition purposes. Attractor packages are pretty much what it says on the tin.

I guess the key things here are, you have a good base mix that works and you have caught fish on. You also have a attractor package that equally has worked along with the base mix. So I would definitely use this as my starting point on a new water. The last thing I would want is to start changing things too much.

If however, the results are not following what you are expecting, then of course you can change and start tinkering.
