I'm in need of some hydros, probably towards the 5ltr mark, mixed, or I'll mix myself. On a quick look around has anyone got any experience of AA Baits Ocean+liquid, or any of their hydros for that matter, or might you have any other supplier option that aren't too expensive?

EDIT, looking at the megamino too, any one used it?

I've used a few aa baits hydros, fish, calanus, liver, squid. All decent and I'd recommend them all. Every bottle I've received from them has been the same as previous batches too, so very consistent. Unlike baf when they sold to the public, their stuff could vary massively

Thanks for the feedback mate, much appreciated, sounds good 👍
I used to use them a lot in the old days, was it Alan the owner, can't remember, I worked in Runcorn at the time so it was handy, but I haven't used them so much since they changed ownership. I did buy some stuff in 2024, including trying the Roasted Peanut Extract, but tbh I prefer the CC Moore RNE.
Big fan of Sardine, both as meal and hydro, seems to be harder to get hold of the hydro from a quick look around!

I use lots of AA Baits’ stuff, but haven’t used the Ocean Plus liquid, although I do like the sound of it!
I’ve got a bottle of Megamino which I’ve used a bit of and caught with baits containing it. I must admit I was hoping it would have a savoury smell to it, but was a bit disappointed when I unscrewed the lid and it smelled exactly like Minamino, with the background raspberry aroma. Their Liver Amino also smells of raspberry! Not sure what their Liquid Liver (pharmaceutical grade) smells like? I like the sound of it, but loath to spend 17 quid odd on another bottle of raspberry amino lol. If anyone knows if it smells savoury, please let me know.
Back to the Megamino, I’ve used it in a Robin Red Fishmeal (500g), with 20ml Nutrabaits Trigga Ice liquid food, 10ml Megamino, 2ml JB Ala Salar and caught. After rolling, boiling, freezing and defrosting, the raspberry background to the Megamino overpowers everything else in the mix!

The liquid liver smells just like you'd expect liquid liver to smell. It's really good stuff
Liver amino smells of raspberry, it's nothing unusual

Many thanks mate 👍

I'm guessing the raspberry is fosfor (multimino). How odd re the liver, I'd of expected it paired to say a nutramino type carrier, if not wholly liver🤔
If the megamino contains both a fosfor (heavy) and a nutramino type (lighter) that's a great start, similar to the old Nutrabaits bait soak complexes!
Are you sure?
