Does SG60 ( supergold ) Have any binding properties like maize meal ?

Thank you

Not really.
It is a mixture of fine, medium and coarse grains, quite gritty.
If I use it, I only use it in small amounts, otherwise rolling issues can occur, especially in smaller than 14mm.
Useful ingredient though.

Ok thank you. I like the maize meal in darker baits as it gives a nice fleck but wasn't sure of the Sg60 had the same binding qualities.

Thank you 👌🏼

Super Gold would not be used as a binder it is a high protein ingredient around 87% diguestable by carp ,which is good ,maize flour is around 14% protein and a good bulk ingredient with binding qualities ,the taste of which carp are supposed to like.
You would not substitute one for the other but maybe use both in the make up in a bait ,I would suggest nutritionally SG60 (it is normally 60% protein) is the most useful in a bait.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
