Yes, it would. I don't load them up, but if you put 1ml in and his rate is 0.2 then obviously that's x5 his dosage but not a huge amount.

I'm not new to making bait, I was just interested if others were rigidly sticking to recommend amounts.

Very interesting. 👍🏻

Yes, makes total sense. However, I would know where to start to look for international flavourist! I also don't make enough quantity to buy that amount.

I agree and just stick to catchit and John's.

I know John Baker has spoken about this loads as have others. He advocates very little flavour in hookbaits where others use vastly more. 0.2ml or 0.5ml just doesn't seem enough for me and I always use several times more with success. Although I have caught with very little flavour too following his instructions.

So, do you stick to John's guides?

Yes, I noticed that too. Lots were 5-8ml for example as opposed to 2ml for example.

I too use their ingredients. 👍🏻

Yes, I've used some of theirs too. Their choc malt orange is very good. 👍🏻

Yeah, that's something I was considering too.

They're just so much cheaper, which isn't why I make my own bait because I can buy it cheaper. 🤣

It's just hard to swap when you've used John's for so long.

Yeah, that's my thinking too.

It's just the prices are getting very expensive but the quality is there.

Have any of you used AA baits flavours? Was considering using them as they seem a good price and I know their ingredients are really good.

I just normally use John Baker flavours.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
