In reply to Post #17 Your right the old toasted sesame does have a tendency to over power a bait..

In reply to Post #19 Walnut. Sounds nicer.

In reply to Post #17 Walnut or Groundnut? Just spotted them in Sainsburys.

In reply to Post #14 Got to admit I'd be substituting that for a nut oil. Not sure on roasted sesame though, you'd be smelling of it for a week afterwards
You won't go wrong using CC recipe, probably well tried and tested and a nice place to start.

In reply to Post #13 It's a perfectly good place to start

In reply to Post #14 'Add 10ml of Salmon oil to help rolling and flavour.'
Sesame oil seed sounds nice tho. I use that in my cooking a lot.

In reply to Post #13 Why the Salmon oil? Would it not be better with something like Hemp or roasted sesame seed oil. Definitely complement it better.

In reply to Post #11 Ok, so im probably going to try the Carp Company recipe as a test and go from there.
5 Eggs
5ml Mixed Nut EPA
5ml Peanut EPA
10ml Tiger Nut Extract
Base Mix - 500g
10ml of Salmon oil
If this turns ok i'll start modifyng but this really is just a test run to start with.

In reply to Post #4 Quite right most nut mixes are a mixture of 20-40% nut meals, tiger nut and peanut being the most popular. Some use peanut protein which is more soluble than just peanut meal. Then some bird seed, semo and/or soya and something soluble like a basic milk powder. A few other tweaks like whey gel or blood plasma and you have a basic nut mix.
I like the fact Target Baits nutmilk mix has added yeast. I have a very soluble yeast product in my nut mix with hydrolised Whey instead of the basic milk powder. I also use vanilla meal from CC Moore as I am convinced carp love it and have been using it for well over 15 years now.
You can make a nut mix very high in nut meals but they are not really very digestible so I feel a nut base fortified with other digestible ings is a better all-round bait. Also some nuts are very high in oil and can go rancid quite quick so keep these types low in the mix

In reply to Post #9 It's all good fun. I convinced the Mrs she needed to try all the nut butters, Almond, Brazil etc, needless to say a bit of each found it's way into a jar and was let down with some PG, it was pretty good tbh. I was trying to emulate CC Moores Roasted Nut compound which smells divine, but it's pricey, and I didn't find the AA Baits comparable, though good. I still remain convinced there's a flavour in the CCM stuff, Vanilla maybe, who knows, I just got hints of it from vanilla meal.
