Quote... I found this in Italy that has herring meal 999 in 25 kg sacs. It's not sardine meal but it's very similar
Sardines are just young Herrings anyway mate. They are the exact same thing. Sardines are the name given to any young fish in the Herring family of oily sea fish.
It's the very high natural oil content in them that makes them so attractive to carp/pike. The specific reason that I hydrolyse Sardines & Mackerel. Oily fish.
Good find

Here you can find sardine or anchovy meal, but a bit expensive indeed

I don't know if they deliver to France, maybe you can ask them
I'm sorry but I don't know how to create a direct link like the LINKY POO

Sweetcorn was just an exemple Tyto, it's a very good bait.
Trust me i have used LT94, Krill, squid etc.... All have caught well but it's not what i ´m after.
Thank's Tcarper ! I have looked a bit and found interesting things ! I have sent mail to see if sample are possible as i don't want to order 50 kg of a wrong stuff 
Thank's for the help lads

I had a quick look for you. Could not find sardine & anchovy. Lots of anchovy meal on there though. They do samples. 25kg minimum this seller.
Same seller does a lot of other meals. 25kg minimums on all. Quite a lot of stuff that you see in the UK all gets imported from abroad by the tonne anyway.

When I suggested using what is available, I meant fishmeal not sweetcorn. I honestly can't see that substituting one fishmeal for another within a mix is going to be the deciding factor. If your most recent suppliers no longer stock it then it may well be discontinued. Even though the processing plants you mention still operate, it may be that regulations have changed meaning that particular products have had to be withdrawn. I remember using sardine and anchovy around twenty years ago from Quality Baits. It was a decent bait with other fishmeals, milks, birdfood, Robin Red etc. My best bait of recent years though has been a predominantly nut and bird food bait containing only about 6 % fishmeal. Anyway, good luck with your quest.

You're right, I've always had better results with the sardine and anchovy fish meal than with the others.

Your right ! And at that Time, some lads helped me to find it !
I can catch on a lot of things, sweetcorn is cheap and available everywhere ! But pre-baiting with it in the hope of selecting the biggers resident from a water is just a waste of time !
Your right a lot of goodies have gone, but for this particular fishmeal, i know it's available somewhere, the fishmeal plant from Morroco, peruvian, chilean haven't stopped working ! of that i m sure

You posted the exact same question on here almost 5 years ago Lol. So I'm guessing that if you haven't found it yet, then you never will. The product you seek has probably gone the same way as LO 30, Original CSL, Original Scopex, etc, etc. Just use whatever is available to you. It's not as though anyone has stopped catching because product X or Y has been discontinued. Like many of us, you're probably on a nostalgia trip but time marches on and things change.

I know all those fishmeal mate, i have tried them all extensivly trust me !
I don't say provimi, LT94, pre-digested, krill etc... are bad ; sure they all catch fish ! And plenty !
But i have my reasons to use the good old sardine and anchovy, i have done many test on different water here in France and also in belgium and there is something to it...
In fact it is viewed as a poor fishmeal as it was not dried at low temp, or the protein content was on the low end of the fishmeals but... i had too much coincidence with it on different water to be just coincidence
I will try alibaba, they send in France no problem
