What are peoples recommendations for books relating to bait making.
would like to know some for all levels of bait making so for beginners to more advanced things.
ideally books on "Why" you use certain things over others and the thoughts behind them.

I Posted about this a few months back, there isnt a lot published, but if you read back through the original thread for the BM1 mix on here, there is a wealth of information in there.
ive got a few mixes to send over to you via facebook but will be this evening as at work.
Smurf on here is a font of knowledge and i have learnt alot from him .
But i think the main thing is with bait, trial and error. people were catching carp on paste/potatoes/50.50 mix with flavour, i think its all trial and error.

Thanks mate. Totally agree with the wealth of information on here. Especially with Smurf and a few others as I can already see they offer great advice that seems widely respected by the vast majority of members on here.
just fancied something to read at work on break to be honest!
I've been looking at "the big carp technical" series as that has a few books that I'm interested in. wonder if anyone has read these ?

The classic Rod Hutchinson books are good if you can find them.
Mike Wilmotts "Carp Life" (the first) got a decent bait chapter.
Jason Riders new book "This time it's personal" is worth checking out.

Worth joining the home made bait buffs group on Facebook if you are on it. We've got a 'book' which outlines lots of the functional aspects of ingredients as well as dozens of recipes.

Yeah of course mate, just don't take everything everyone says as gospel, use it as guidance and make your own mind up about things. There are a lot of differing ideas when it comes to bait
