Possibly this recipe....taken from an old crafty carper mag article by Ken

350g Big Fish Mix
50g Liver Powder
40g Krill Extract
40g Pre-Digested Fish Protein
15g GLM
5g Betaine HCL

The bait was fished totally unflavoured. Hope this helps.

Because it’s different?
BFM always worked well back in the day (original recipe). No reason it wouldn’t now.

Rocket fuel was invented to fuel rockets, because lard wasn't as good. Why go back to putting lard in your rocket.

I think using the original recipe would be an edge nowadays tbh. Literally every fishmeal bait recipe contains LT94, CPSP90 PDFM and Krillmeal. Although considered lower quality fishmeals, the old ones are offering them something different to what anyone else is likely to be using, unless of course they can’t tell the difference lol.

Thank you. Ken added copious amounts of liver powder, glm, extra robin red, and most importantly predigested fished which was new at the time.

Probably no help whatsoever, as I believe this is the original bonafide BFM recipe:

Does anyone have the recipe for BFM Stage 2 (Big Fish Mix Stage 2)? It was an experimental version of the original Nutrabaits Big Fish Mix by Ken Townley. I'm sure it was discussed on here by myself and other members and try as I might I cannot find it. I think the post may been archived which is why I can't find it.
