I made some and they came out very well in fact dam near perfect , I used this mix because I wanted something that I could use that was proven and relatively easy to source and and was of decent quality .

Although I didnt catch on this mix I did catch in my sessions on Maize. On the reasons for wanting to use boilies is I am thinking it will improve my chances of bigger carp. I fish in the USA and have caught lots of fish up to 40lb the average being a mid 20lb fish, this year has got of to a flyer 3 of the 6 fish I have caught so far have been 30lb+ fish .

All caught on Maize, should I forget trying to reinvent the wheel and stick to maize in the hope a big one will come around, or carry on with a boilie on one rod I know bigger fish fequent the areas I fish.

We are allowed to fish 3 rods here so I have chance to experiment without forsaking the chances of catching too much. The area I live in has some great carp fishing most of it virgin carp fishing, most of the fish I catch look like they have never been caught before. And being wild they fight like stink, I would be interested to hear some views on the boilie question as I have a couple of lakes that are smaller but again the preffered bait is corn. Am I wasting my time trying to introduce boilies into the diet of hopefully bigger fish., or do I need to give it a concerted effort with a lot of bait before the boilie will become accepted as a food source.

Thanks in advance and hope I havnt gone of topic too much

Thanks for you reply and info, one of the issues is I live in Michigan USA and not all the products are available to me . Hence me looking for substitiutes , I do have some of the original products available from online retailers. I will check out the selenative E and see if I can find a similar product here, there are a lot of farm stores around that carry all kinds of stuff to check out.

Thanks again for the input appreciate your reply

Hi everyone I hope it is cool to ask a question on my first post . I am an expat living in the USA and would like to use one of these recipes the only issue I have is Equivite is not available over here.

I was looking at replacing it with this product http://www.mannapro.com/products/calf-manna/horses/

As could not find a label of ingredients for equivite,it is difficult to compare products.

I would be grateful of any advice on this or suggestions on an alternative product. Without ruining the mix, and wether or not you think the manna pro would work for me.

Thanks in advance
