Is it possible to source in the UK anymore?

Seems I can buy it in Europe but cant find it in the uk anywhere?

Lots to think about here, thanks for the input.

I've got Betastim in the attractor profile tbf.... not for its dying properties but thats very interesting to know.

also got spirulina going in.

might but some Squid Ink off amazon, looks pricey. got a decent nutrional / mineral profile to be fair..!

Never considered charcoal but again an interesting slant.

I think Im going for half the normal amount of powdered black dye, 25g spriulina and possibly some squid in in the liquids.

And yes it really does confuse the seagulls .... they can see it coming but soon as it hits the surface its gone to them

Hi,

I've used black baits for most of my fishing, better for baiting up and you can use a throwing stick and watch the seagulls look confused when they cant see the baits land.

Always used a powdered dye, use to use the Nash one years ago then moved over to another better one I use to get from mike at essential.

So I've seen some really dark baits on the market, like Dark Spell from Rollin. Its got me wondering if i could use any actual additives to aid the darkening process so i can get away with less dye?

all very helpful, thankyou.

so lastly, on the AA baits site it recommends diluting the egg powder to make liquid egg.

Is this what most do, or do you simply add it to the dry mix and add water to the liquids and mix like that?

thanks again

Thanks for that,

Any preference over the 2?

Hi everyone,

I have read somewhere in another thread about using whole egg / blood plasma combo to replace liquid egg in your mix. Can someone give me a ratio of egg/blood and what % in the mix would be best suited. The mix I'm rolling is primarily milk based with around 6% hydrolysed product. Rolling 20mm baits.

Kind Regards.

Charlie.

I live in Carnforth mate, next junction down from the lakes area, got married in Cockermouth last year and my missus works in a Florists in Windermere.

Its very busy ATM but September should be fine, go midweek if you can, stay away from usual tourist routs. The Langdales can get busy so for Scafell go from the borrowdale side / wasdale side.

Bowness is very touristy now - if you like real lakelannd villages try Hawkeshead, Coniston, Keswick (out of season)

for quieter walks try over the Western lakes.

don't agree with all of this but its certainly a different slant....!
