Good evening,
I can remember someone used to do a crayfish hydro or pure crayfish liquid,
about 10 years ago,
but I can't remember who?
For some reason Sticky is in my mind, but could have been cc Moore.
Does anyone have a different source please?
Also I have been including a crayfish flavour from feedstim but it's totally lost in the mix,
even above recommended levels so if anyone has recommendations for one it would be much appreciated.
Thanks Tom.

Thanks Nemesis I used his bait for years, a real shame he's retired, top bloke and great bait.
I never realised he done crayfish, although I knew he did a liquid fish, squid and liver.

I think it was a quite recent one, last time I popped in, he was mucking about with it. Very clever guy, made his own hydro's on site.

BAF are about to start production of their own hydros. not sure if they will be doing a crayfish one but it would make sense as a lot of lakes often remove them and want rid. Would be a good use for them.

Be a job getting hold of them once the restaurants are back in business. £10/11 a kilo was the going rate to the upmarket places a year or so ago!

Cooperman did one under his perfection groundbaits brand. But this is going back a dozen years or more.

I might start selling them then. My local lake is crawling with the bloody things!

I might be wrong, but I think you need a license to trap and sell them 🤷‍♂️

Yes but the license is free. Traps are inexpensive or you can make them yourself. Bait is just fish guts or scrap meat so costs nothing. It's just time that you need and plenty of it. Also permission from the landowner too obviously.

Good way to make a few quid if you have the spare time.

CC Moore used to do a Crayfish Concentrate not sure if that is what you are thinking off? It wasnt a hydro just a flavour that could be used at quite high levels. It was used in the original Odyssey bait

That was just a bulk flavour that was very weak, hence the high levels. They used to do a caramel one like that it
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
