You mention using hydro as a bait soak, would freezing the bait after this treatment have any negative effect on adding the hydro?

That would be great 
To learn to walk before running and all that...
I’ll soon be buying and burning out drills like you and your pal in no time, no doubt  But for now some basics or less advanced techniques that can instil some confidence and guidance to then allow the experiments to take place. Thanks

Having listened to an episode from Sam and friend on bait, I must say, it was interesting to a point. Clearly Sam and his friend (Pete, I think), know an incredible amount about making bait which for me, right now in my journey is too advanced. All the ingredients they talk about just went over my head and made no sense, although interesting all the same, to a point where I found myself lost in their conversation whilst driving and trying to listen to what they are talking about.
A podcast I did find very useful for this subject and one I will be revisiting again is the Thinking Tackle episode #22 with Simon Scott and Mark Bryant. The way in which they articulate themselves I found to be just what I was looking for. I’m not a huge Korda fan like some, nor am I a fan of any particular brand, but I find these TT podcasts really well put together.
At risk of diverging on to podcasts and away from bait, the aforementioned TT podcast covers a lot of what this thread was created for. Bait approach in Autumn.
Thanks for everyone’s input, help and advice.

Sweetcorn, at less than a pound a KG frozen from the supermarkets it makes a good cheap bait that has worked for centuries, a lot easier than messing around with Maize.

Does anyone use particle after summer/in autumn? Or just boilies for offerings?

Yes. JS seem to be the only major supermarket who carry it now. Tesco used to but seem to have delisted it. Otherwise it's a trip to the Asian supermarket.

Squid brand fish sauce. You'll pick it from most Asian supermarkets.
Ratio wise it's probably about that mate. Any excess liquid goes back in the bottle.

That's why the carp branded products aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Good to know. When we're saying fish sauce I'm assuming we're talking a supermarket fish sauce rather then another Baracel product? What ratio has worked for you if you don't mind me asking? 1:3 hydro to fish sauce?
