Hi Dean, I noticed you didnt have any help with your question earlier this year.

I have a bit of experience from experiments the last 18 months or so. All the below products are available through AAbaits.co.uk and local shops.
My results where as follows.

Basic budget fishmeal mix.

300g Grinded Trout pellet. (Sieve).
100g soya flour. Holland and Barrets
75g semalina fine. Corner shop.
200g EMP Birdfood. Pet shop.
125g Grinded peanut. Asda budget pack (sieve).
50g corn meal fine. corner shop.
150g 5 pints mlik powder. Supermarket.

=TOTAL 1 kg dry mix.

Works out about 8 eggs per 1 kg of dry mix but use 6 eggs first you will have 200g of base mix left. Better to have too much base mix than to run out.

Sieve ALL the Grinded ingredients before adding to the base mix.

With boiling water melt 3 to 4 heaped table spoons of home brand yeast extract(Bovril or marmite). Not too watery though. Add this to your eggs.
You could also add black pepper and salt to the eggs. Then slowly add the base mix. Don't forget to let it cool you want the eggs raw not cooked

You can use your own ideas but remember to stick to
100g soya flour. Helps roll nice smooth baits.
75g semalina helps bind.
50g corn meal helps harden.
125g 5 pint Milk powder. Helps taste and improves solubility (Break down time) in your bait. DONT go above 200g milks because your mix will become too sticky to roll.

These are the key ingredients that do a job and help your bait roll with the correct consistancy and weight. Expensive milk proteins will do these jobs but the above are the best budget ingredients.


Higher quality and priced mix.

250g sardine and anchovy.
150g low temperature fishmeal.
50g Predigested fish meal.
200g CLO Birdfood.
100g Soya Flour.
50g Whey protein concentrate.
50g Vitemilo milk powder.
75g Krill meal.
75g robin red.
20 to 30m salmon oil.
5m any nash flavour.
5m any nash pallatant. or oil.

All Nash flavours are good. Nash scopex and sweetner are very high quality.
Check out Premier baits for value for money flavours.

Hope this helps, Good luck and you will learn loads from this. Its a part of the hobbie that i enjoy.
You will soon realise that bait companies rip us off big time. The advance mix will roll at roughly £6 per Kilo.

Regards Dave.
