Can anyone confirm the name of the Hormone that is mentioned in the latest Carp Chronicles pod cast?
There is loads of whispers of this with loads of people using it, from what I can gather it is a liquid form.
A few people in the industry admit its something that will come out very soon?

I've heard of things that mimic hormones
Let's hope it's not true
Don't fancy carp nagging me and bursting into tears😂

If it's what a few names are rumoured to be using then I doubt it'll ever be released.
It's only available from a vet (with a prescription), and I'm not sure it's something we want to be using in fishing. I certainly wouldn't.

The minute it's out it will be banned. It's not really ethical in my eyes

I don't understand why hormones in a bait eould make a carp more likely to eat it. Does anyone know the science. If any, behind this?

I do know what this hormone does and I do understand the basic science behind it. But it's not my secret to tell and I'm a man of my word. When you do see it in action and understand what is happening you will see why it's gonna be banned. I like an edge just like the next man but I think this one is too far

I understand what you're saying. However if someone has found the Holy grail which everyone has been looking for, and it's going to be banned. We may as well stop all research into bait and go back to sweetcorn and luncheon meat. It's a bit like saying if someone invents a rig that is 100% garuanteed to hook every fish that picks up the bait fair and square in the middle of the bottom lip. It shouldn't be allowed.

I soak all my baits in Old Spice, it worked for me in the 80's

The hormone liquid is used to attract the fish into the area. The fish arrive thinking they will find other fish to start spawning. There is obviously no other fish around as the hormones have been introduced by the angler. This liquid has been used near to your baited spot, the fish get agitated and feed instead, and you catch. That's my take from various people who given information.

Do you know what would happen if a large group of fish turned up? would they try to spawn again or all go into a crazed feeding mode?
From the snippets i have heard and i dont know the full details i personally think this is totally wrong to even go down this route it is not the holy grail and should be banned

As I've written this is all I know and from reading literature on the web and bits of information here and there.
I don't know the actual product these guys are using.
Everyone who keeps it quiet obviously does not want it banned.

It just shows how desperate some are to catch at any cost, its very sad

You have got the wrong end of the stick. The people who know are not using it at all because they don't agree with it. I'm sure it will all come out eventually.

Would not be the first ,there was a product called " Ultra Bite " launched with massive publicity different ones for different type of fish.
Hi flying Anglers endorsing it saying how marvellous it was .
one very well known angler was sent it and could not catch a fish with it on , a friend of mine used it iin a match ,only stared catching when he stopped using it .
Well know angler said he could not endorse said product ,was sent a cheque for £15000 to say how good it was ,he sent it back.
The product was rubbish but it ran for a few years ,with many anglers saying they caught this and that with it .
Then it was sold to a international lure company.
