Had success spombing out liquids with minimal food content but lots of attraction (eg. hydro fish, salmon oil, molasses, fish sauce, coffee milks mixed up) - but fishing a deep lake with 12ft margins and wondering whether it's dispersing before even reaching bottom. Any 'heavy liquids' to add to mix? Used to soak vitalin balls and add bicarb soda but prefer to avoid particles in swim..thinking about scalding pellets, making balls and soaking them so they break up on bottom and pull fish down? Interested in your thoughts on this?

What about ground up pop ups added to your pellet and balled in and as the balls soften the pop ups should rise slowly especially if the mix is soaked in liquid too help slow the crushed pop ups down

Pva bags filled with liquid and a stone? I'd avoid crushing popups as the other post says, they are filled with little balls of glass and aren't actually meant to be consumed

Thanks. Had considered crushing & soaking ‘floating' pellets as part of the mix, interested if there are liquids that get down to the deck & stay down. ‘Balling it in' preferable to spombing for ‘little & often' approach as fish pretty spooky - a few golfballs every few hrs best in situation.

Answered my own Q - molasses and honey seem to have the highest density.

Hi buddy
Heavy Liquid - ive done well on this, but it is a pain to make. For application in fishing, the only real writing on it will be in Jason Riders new book out soon.
Other than that adding a gelatine solution to any liquid will alter its consistency. Dont forget that the water temp its going into will dramatically affect the end consistency.

Interesting - thanks for the tip. Makes sense, so you'd make it ‘jelly-ish' (thicker than water) to get it down.
Ever tried Agar Agar (xanthan gum) or Tapioca pearls? I started off mixing white crumb into the mix but would prefer to have a liquid presence on the deck rather than an obvious ‘white spot' once the stuff's settled a bit.
Like you say, v.successful in the correct depths but I think depths >12ft need a bit more density to get the liquids down.

If your liquid is thick and "sticky" then mixing in some kiln dried sand or oyster shell, both will carry your liquid down to the bottom.

Would swan mussel shell be ok, lighter than oyster I guess?

I would use Wheat Hydro, it's really thick and heavy with crushed (floating) dry cat biscuits, so those particles will want to float up. That would be my base to add attractors to.

Agar - yes. Find gelatin easier to tweek. Test it by putting it in a tub of pretty cold water.
Don't forget that if there's quite a tow on your water , it may not end up directly under where it's put in ( said 12ft depth)

condensed mik is very heavy in water ?

Thx 4 the suggestions. If you make a mix of liquids of different densities, do they separate & sink accordingly or act as one liquid & sink as a mix over that kind of depth?

Just one if you mix them together into one liquid.

Personally I think that has got to do with the make up of the different liquids as oily liquids will want to separate and float to the top. This also happens with different soaks /dips in the shops. I also get it with for instance csl.
