Hi to all Carpforum members. I've been looking at the site for many years but this is my first post. Maybe lockdown has something to do with it. Seen some really good information over the years from people generous with their helpful advice. My question is more than a little "tongue in cheek" so please don't take it too seriously. I have a bit of a dilemma. I only have about 25ml Rod Hutchinson Scopex left. Now, I'm not one to sleep with crystals dangling over me and am certainly no "new ager", but, what do you think of my chances of using homeopathic levels of scopex in my baits? My understanding is 1 part to a thousand equals a homeopathic dose. Any views?

I think you'd be wasting your time. At those levels once you've boiled the bait I doubt there would be any meaningful amount left.
Just to really rub salt in your wounds. I've got a bottle of Rods Scopex, and when I say Rods I literally mean his own personal flavour from his house. The actual stuff he used to make his own baits. And no you can't have it.

I'm not sure that the average carp is as susceptible to marketing and approval by Sting as the average homeopath...

hopefully I didn't sound too sarcastic
I guess the thing about flavour is that it's already diluted once it hits the water so in this case less isn't more... I know sharks (and my ex wife) can smell blood in 1 part to 1 Million or something but unfortunately I can't see this one working.
Welcome to the forum btw

I'd just keep smoking that AstroTurf bud...

Have you considered doing the homeopathic one-drop-in-a litre nonsense a few times, then flogging the resultant bottles of water on eBay, pictured next to the bottle of the real thing?
You'd probably earn enough to get a few litres of the best version available nowadays.

My first post here was tongue in cheek and aiming to be lighthearted. Posts 6 and 8 generated the kind of response i was hoping for. Is it a swim or a peg post got to me. Pitch possibly covers both peg and swim? Astroturf? Hmmm, bit too long in the tooth for that.

Does anyone still have any Red or Green Zing hanging about I wonder? For those that don't know these were Geoff Kemp products. The green was rather nice, the red was -well my first wife almost left because of it. There was also Sweet Peanut - had a lot of fish on that one.
Happy days .......

Johnson Ross had a few bottles of the CC Moore's Kemp green zing a few months ago before it was discontinued

The original dated back to the 80's. Much like Scopex not seeming the same now as then, I wonder how different Moore's version was?

Unlikely to see same geoff kemp flavours anymore. And for those who think mown grass is a reference to astroturf. Mown grass was a geoff kemp flavour also. The shellfish by kempie probably did contribute to my divorce way back.
