No disrespect was perceived. Was just saying that bait is part of the whole picture. And seeing as i enjoy making my own bait this type of conversation is very helpful. Making my own is part of the fun to me.

I don't love carp fishing. I love all fishing.

No disrespect intended bud its just how i see it as i,m a non conformist a bit of a carp rebel its just me

Needless to say that period of catching at will was soon stopped as i was putting a single milk bottle where the fish were,,,

At a 160 yards , as that is where they were 90% of the time , you see i was taught to locate the fish then put a bait to them , not the other way round put in the bait and wait until they come to you, anybody can do that and play a numbers game , i call that lottery fishing , as sooner or later something will pick it up , that is of course if you are there long enough

Carp fishing ,, don,t you just love it

Rigs, bait, location, feeding methods, feature finding all play a factor. The first 2 if like me you have only ever gone fishing on your own you learn about by talking to people, be it in the tackle shop, on the bank or over the internet. The last 3 you learn through practice on the bank.

No, there is no such thing as a wonder bait, however a better understanding can only be a good thing and this type of thread helps me greatly.

Sorry to add to this thread ,,,, but ,

I have never bought into all this bait oneupmanship as all carp do is swim , eat and crap period.

If you put a reasonable bait in front of it , 9 times out of 10 it will eat it

All this crap that they put in these days to make money out of gullible anglers is laughable.
If it is hungry it will eat anything period.

Yeh i am probably talking crap but i have never struggled to catch in 30 years of carping ,,

It seems if someone does a

or a

when talking bait then the on lookers are hooked as they think they have the next wonder bait.

I put the best part of a � 1000 of so called quality bait in a venue once and caught diddly ,, then i started to use milk bottle sweets on one rod and caught , then i had it on all three rods and was catching while others blanked on there super dooper bait , well i was also till i switched to these little babies .
Had my best ever year on those milk bottles.
All those fish on � 2.60 of sweets what a waste of a grand
It taught me one thing , i still fish with quality baits but i don,t get blinded by them ,, something attractive put in the right place will out fish any wonder bait that you camp on.

Well tear me off a strip if you want but that is how i see it ,, and i catch , and also enjoy my fishing.

I have always wondered if there was such a creation as a all in wonder bait that you could not blank on that person would become a millionaire over night ,, answer there aint one

Bait is the biggest enigma in the sport and the most profitable , how many company's produce a so called quality bait , its hundreds all bigging it up

and sponsored anglers

giving it large to raise the profile of the next wonder creation.
Total and utter bull .
Apologies to anyone offended by my post but that is how i see it , i may be totally wrong but until i stop catching i won,t change my opinion

A tried and sensible recipe will always catch , don,t get blinded by bait , life,s too short

I should make clear that the recipes below are Smurf's, copied from one of his many posts on here when he was making and selling bait. They are not mine, I am sorry to say!

Some decent recipes being posted whilst fishmeals/meat meals/maize proteins look the business on paper you should never overlook the usage of quality milk protein fractions. Without going into too much detail about these ingredients I can whole heartedly say that after making baits without them I wouldnt really do so any time soon. For sure you can make extremely effective baits without using expensive milk fractions but on the whole after careful deliberation I am wholly of the the belief that they must play a part in good food bait.

The main consideration for me is that refined milk proteins do not lie, if it says its 95% protein then it is what it says there is no indigestible or useless nitrogen in them as there is in fishmeals etc. They are certainly not essential to catch fish but the benefits surely outweigh the cost as was intimated to me a few years ago by someone who clearly knew more than me at the time. I have used baits with and without and caught very well on both but without giving the game away too much I would urge people to include at least some whey protein in their formula ideally a combination of milks as it will only benefit your bait overall. Although you can still construct a good food bait without having to pay more than �3 per kilo for any one ingredient.

Micronising is heat treating (cooking to a point) with infa red heat before the hemp/soya is crushed or milled.

Infa red heats from the inside out so youre basically cooking the flesh it in its own juices.
Its something they do to make horse and cattle feed more digestible

No issue with you at all Nellie. You asked a perfectly reasonable question and now thanks to Ken have your answer. I would go with that recipe as a base and you can always add your own tweaks as Pete recommends. As he used to run a reputable bait firm I would be more than happy to run with that base mix

It was just that I was being pulled up for a post that went off on a tangent (although still relevant to the thread!) as if it was a subject never before discussed!

Micronised crushed hemp

Could you tell me what the micronised part is all about ken?

Does it literally mean ultra fine powder?

This topic has been done to death though. In my opinion the definitive recipe was put up by Smurf ages ago so don't see why we need another one?

Any idea where the recipe is? Its probably lost in the thousands of pages devoted to bait making.

The idea i had for this thread was after finding a recipie from 2008 i think, and thought it should have been put up for others to see, but more importantly, find easily. Thats where the idea for getting a recipe together by the members came from.

If its a bad idea, i appologise, but i have seen some recipes on this forum that in my opinion are as good as any bait going, and just wanted an easy way to find cracking recipe.

I also agree whole heartedly with the people who will say as long as the bait is put in front of a feeding fish, you'll catch it. Yeah fair enough, but lets face it, a good bait can only help out even more.

We have a good cheap bait thread stickied in the bait section. Why not make it easier for those who would like a quality bait recipe thread. IMHO Cheap baits are just that. I have seen the damage a quality bait can do on a water when fished alongside cheaper baits, and still have the bloody nose from the experience. So decided i would do what i could to gain a better knowledge of baits and ingredients that can be used to make that quality bait. This thread is just part of it.
