Fair point and well constructed. However.... 1. Do you think that these people that buy from 'middle' men actually know that the bait comes from Geoff? (Agreed a very knowledgable chap). And 2. If they did know it was the same bait and they could buy 'direct' cheaper would they?

So if there was another item of tackle that you could skip the middle man and go straight to the manufacturer and get it possibly cheaper you would buy from the Middle man? (Not aimed at you personally just a collective 'you') I'm not sure many would. So why with bait? WITHOUT PREJUDICE!!!ol.

Spoke to sylvian com the Maison de peche and was informed that the average size of stockie in the south was 5kg and average size in the north is 10kg as they wanted to keep the average size higher in the north. Roy....placed my rods out on the gravel bar and pointed down towards 4 & 6.....less cats for me but my mate was plagued.

Hi Roy and welcome to the forum. Fished 25 on the south. Caught cats on all baits including tigers????? Haven't used fishmeals at Chantecoq for years in an attempt to avoid the cats but they seem to take everything.

No one in 22 week before last.....just one Belgian in 14 that I spoke to on the Friday and he'd had carp to 26kg......

Just got back from a 4 week trip. Fished the south and the north. Lots of 10lb commons in the south now as it's been stocked for the world carp classic. Too many catfish in there now. Still lots of nice carp but it's hard work getting through the cats sometimes. Fished nemours last year on the main basin and we caught carp for two days then the cats moved in and we caught 1 more carp in 12 nights.

Supergold 60 is maize protein. If you scroll through this thread you will find a mix I have posted. Try that as it rolls a dream and very nutritious etc. It is a fish meal but will blend with a fruit flavour such as Essential baits shellfish plum and fruit factor 6 combo. If you decide to include per digested then whatever weight you include then remove that weight from the lt94.

No need for maize flour and supergold 60. Just use supergold 60 for the whole weight of the two combined. Not sure about the pepper. Have you thought about Robin Red or combining some soluble pre-digested fishmeal?

Fair point mate. Although the level maybe a little on the low side I am trying to make a long term bait for a campaign on a new water that I started in January. I was hoping that even low levels would increase attraction and the 'want it' factor due to the overall effectiveness of the inclusion of GLM. Increased nutrient profile etc.

Thanks for the reply. Why do you think glm for hookbaits only mate? Cost? Rollability?
