Of scopex as we say on planet earth.

Am after some help if possible as with nashbait going I occasionally use the scopex squid bait spray and I would like to mix something similar, but I am a bit of a cock so

I have no desire to use another companies bait spray
I want the oil content as it’s main use is marking
I have the flavour but no idea what base this is on and what it will mix with
Whatever I use needs to be fine and sprayable

My biggest worry is mixing three things that don’t mix - so ideal outcome is find out the original and simple recipe Nash had (now they are gone) or b someone with experience with mixing oil with synthetic flavours and knows what they are doing. I worry that my synthetic flavour will be overkill or not actually emulsify

I'm just going to tell you, mct oil is what you are looking for. You can just take the cheap one, no need for c8 only, that's for dieet freaks:)

A lot of the bait sprays are just vegetable oil, bit of dye and flavour.......

You’re probably right - just back in the day I produced what I thought was the perfect dip but someone on a lake told me that to get the flavour to really dissipate (?) that the then ea flavour would need an emulsifier to go with the oil. If it’s flavour and oil / happy days but for the use I want I don’t want to be spraying neat flavour on

Some bases are mpg, some are corn syrup.
Be brave, dip your finger and taste them...
They have a couple mil of flavour, and all the rest is crap.
I make my own with liquid foods and added powders 🕵‍♂️

Not sure if you're aware, but Cotswold Bait have produced some Scopex Squid pop-ups under the guidance of Gary and I'm pretty sure there was a complimentary bait spray in the pipeline as well and they're being sold to make money for Lucy's Bowl, the guide dog for the blind charity.
