| Whatever anyone says to the contrary - you will | | | | sensitive to substances carp need to survive (like |
| always keep on catching fish despite your baits not | | | | amino acids and trace elements minerals etc) and |
| being sorted down the first, second or third limiting | | | | which are able to cross adapt in order to exploit new |
| amino acid! In fact the proof of this is absolutely | | | | substances or to detect new threats. Transduction is |
| everywhere now and down the decades as very | | | | the bio-chemical electrical nervous responses involving |
| few bait companies have ever been sophisticated | | | | special proteins in specialised receptor cells in the |
| enough to design their baits this way! There will | | | | nose (or nasal openings) of carp for instance.) |
| always be carp bait secrets both in terms of yet to | | | | I contacted many of the biggest UK bait company |
| be discovered scientific discoveries, substances that | | | | bosses and not one of them could answer me |
| work despite a lack of scientific basis and those | | | | precisely how flavours really work in terms of how |
| things that work more due to the fact that carp are | | | | they are detected except Rod Hutchinson who |
| dynamically associative learning individuals each with a | | | | indicated as much. But you would think they would |
| unique capacity for adaptation to new opportunities | | | | actually know how the most basic thing as exactly |
| for available energy - and able to avoid threats | | | | how their products work! This is because they |
| because their greatest instinct is for survival! | | | | definitely give you that impression by using all those |
| So obviously anyone who is arrogant enough to | | | | flashy techno names like B-this, G-this, K-this and T- |
| state that there is nothing new in carp baits today is | | | | that! |
| very severely deluded! Science is only based on what | | | | You see my big problem relates to this kind of |
| science knows today yet science knows virtually | | | | example: Water is the worlds most efficient ioniser |
| nothing about most things despite what school books | | | | meaning that our bait substances dissolve into it |
| might pretend to condition us to believe! If you are | | | | extremely well and these substances can then be |
| feeling some resistance here it just proves you have | | | | detected as they wash around the sensory cells on |
| been very well-conditioned - just in the same way | | | | the microscopic cell-covered hairs right? After all |
| we ideally would condition fish to our baits!! How | | | | these guys insist that the carp detection of |
| many of you realise that subtle electrical fields are | | | | substances, from flavours to quaternary ammonium |
| detected by carp around your rigs and in the water | | | | bases, to amino acids and organic acids like butyric |
| around your leads, hooks, swivels and even your | | | | acid must have something to do with the exchange |
| boilies (full of ion exchangers and electrolytes etc!) | | | | of ions at the receptor cells. Betaine and salts are |
| On this basis what can you deduce might be going on | | | | great examples of ion exchangers of course. Carp do |
| in the detection of inert rubber or plastic fake baits | | | | not even detect all the same stimulatory amino acids |
| too - regardless of whether they reflect or give off | | | | in their smell organs as they do using their internal or |
| ultraviolet light in daytime in turbid waters or at night? | | | | external taste (gustatory) organs and senses. When |
| Carp being predominantly suction filter feeders spend | | | | tested, the set of amino acids that most stimulates |
| much of their time with their heads buried in | | | | smell causing feeding differs from the set which most |
| suspended particles when actually actively feeding; so | | | | stimulates feeding via the gustatory senses... |
| is it any surprise that carp are sensitive to both the | | | | This should really make you think what the heck is |
| infrared and ultraviolet ranges of the light spectrum?! | | | | going on when a carp senses your bait using all its |
| Certain proteins in natural aquatic food items | | | | senses at once. It is my feeling they can see the |
| fluoresce or give off electrochemical light energy | | | | ultraviolet given off by certain aquatic-born proteins |
| which I have no doubt carp naturally exploit in | | | | too - time will tell but we still know very little about |
| detecting food; but carp science has yet to catch up | | | | carp senses because lets face it we know barely |
| on this point (and which is precisely the point of this | | | | anything about the human brain yet so how can we |
| article!) | | | | possibly know about the in-sentient carp brain?! For all |
| And the trouble with pretty much all but one of the | | | | those carp anglers who think they know that carp |
| carp magazines (Carp Fisher) is that they are very | | | | smell their protein food using the water-borne ion |
| much blatant advertising vehicles - so how can you | | | | exchange that occurs in the nose at the cillia in the |
| possibly spot the real unbiased truth about baits from | | | | olfactory membrane, so resulting in nerve |
| these today?! It could be argued that most articles | | | | transduction - I will let you into a little secret. Carp |
| about carp baits 25 plus years or more ago were | | | | cannot possibly depend on this to smell their most |
| much more aligned with integrity and truth with very | | | | essential amino acids that keep them alive! |
| little bias in the commercial sense than is seen | | | | They must have some other unknown sensory |
| universally today in carp fishing magazines! It is no | | | | mechanism occurring; the evidence is clear! (Refer to |
| wonder someone will write over-hyped magazine | | | | the Oxford chemistry journal volume 14, number 2 |
| articles on bait saying there are absolutely no secrets | | | | and the abstract from the twenty-second |
| in carp fishing baits, while offering his own biased | | | | symposium on taste and smell entitled: Odor |
| opinions on bait-making and trying to give the | | | | discrimination and transduction mechanisms in olfaction |
| impression no other bait than a limited amino | | | | by Makoto Kashiwayanagi.) |
| acid-sorted nutritional bait is up to the job and by the | | | | In this leading Japanese experiment on olfactory |
| way his bait company sells such baits.) Such rubbish is | | | | transduction via cillia all the carp olfactory cillia were |
| all a fallacy because it aims to brainwash you into one | | | | removed, yet a highly significant transduction |
| very narrow approach and way of thinking. Anything | | | | response to amino acids occurred during testing. How |
| that narrows or constricts your thinking is in effect | | | | can this be - all the carp anglers are claiming that ion |
| brainwashing and is simply geared to get you to buy | | | | induced transduction is how flavours and amino acids |
| his bait! | | | | etc are detected?! Not only this, but in related |
| Science (or pseudo-science) is not the ultimate | | | | experiments in the bull frog and stink turtle, the |
| answer nor limiting factor to potential carp baits | | | | olfactory membrane was stimulated using substances |
| because it is always out of date! For instance, until | | | | containing no ions at all! (But remember -There is |
| this month - scientists thought we need both sides | | | | nothing new in carp baits is there?!) |
| of our brain (present and intact,) to enable us to | | | | None of these bait guru guys will tell you much of |
| have full left and right fields of vision in our left and | | | | this stuff simply because of one fact - they do not |
| right eyes. But no, in July 2009 science was proven | | | | know it all; and they hate to admit being ignorant and |
| wrong - yet again! In this instance a girl has recently | | | | that their baits are ultimately only designed on |
| been specifically scientifically tested because she was | | | | conjecture and guesswork! And as one biochemist |
| born with only her left brain hemisphere - and yet | | | | once said to me; there are few scientific absolutes in |
| she lives a normal life! Even more incredibly, her optic | | | | carp baits! |
| nerves connecting hers eyes to her brain have | | | | Sure you might think no because you are attached |
| connected to the single hemisphere she has, her brain | | | | to carp needing those vital 10 amino acids for |
| adapted and miraculously she has normal left and | | | | instance, but there is more to fish than being |
| right fields of vision! | | | | stationary robots - they are actively evolving |
| Now before this case scientists stated this was all | | | | dynamic beings responding and adapting to every |
| impossible - but they are so arrogant trapped in their | | | | single threat and opportunity for new energy sources |
| entrenched ego-locked career-driven microcosms | | | | in their environment. They are obviously far more |
| they cannot let go and see the truth of just how | | | | sensitive than science has yet proven! I think carp |
| little they really know. Todays science has come a | | | | bait gurus egos are simply too sensitive unfortunately |
| long way in the last 100 years especially but for | | | | to admit the truth. Is the statement there is |
| everything we know it just shows us more that we | | | | absolutely nothing new in carp bait, true - what do |
| don't yet have a clue about! More is known about | | | | you think?! |
| space than our brains, minds and consciousness. In | | | | You can fool carp into thinking they are going to get |

| existence of giant squid was denied by science - until | | | | The major palatability factor in fish meals (and in fact |
| a real giant estimated by experts at the famous | | | | related to the immensely nutritionally-rich sea weeds |
| Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to be at least | | | | and spirulina) is the amino acid called glutamine. |
| 60 to 90 feet long was photographed. This was done | | | | Palatability is extremely important in carp baits |

| There are many life-saving new potential drug | | | | you can cheat and add MSG or monosodium |
| substances being lost by the mass clearance of | | | | glutamate to your baits just like they do in Chinese |
| rainforests for planting of soya bean, coffee, coco | | | | takeaways but this leaves a bad after-taste and |
| and castor oil plants and other bio fuel crops etc. The | | | | digestive problems too, like eating hydrogenated |
| plants themselves will not even have been identified | | | | vegetable oil or the oxidised oils like those in less that |
| as new species and substances they offer will never | | | | really fresh high oil marine pellets. |
| be identified by science - because they will already be | | | | For instance, in just once test packed my homemade |
| extinct! I think it makes great sense here to state | | | | baits with a really special abalone extract extremely |
| bluntly that we need to stop using fish meals in carp | | | | high in glutamine and the response in all my baits |
| baits if we have any realisation of just how fast fish | | | | including my fish meal, milk protein and much cheaper |
| are disappearing from our seas and oceans - many | | | | chick pea and maize flour type baits for instance |
| areas are completely barren today. In fact the | | | | have all improved. (Pretty much all maize products |
| reason that the commonly used fishmeal LT94 from | | | | have very high palatability because one of the most |
| Norway is in such short supply is due to the | | | | powerful stimulators of the carp palatial sensory cells |
| Norwegians and other nations fishing the North sea, | | | | is betaine - and this is in abundance in maize and |
| having their yearly catch quotas cut because the fish | | | | incidentally in all the related sweetcorn strains etc |
| stocks are simply not able to replenish themselves | | | | too.) But then 2 baits we all know that are addictive |
| fast enough to recover without danger of being | | | | to carp - hemp seed and peanuts have chemicals |
| completely wiped out. | | | | that hit the basic carp brain and hit the more evolved |
| Like any other creatures, you need a minimum gene | | | | human brain with that just one more effect so more |
| pool in existence, below which a species is extremely | | | | can be leveraged than mere amino acids or betaine. |
| vulnerable to extinction. It is no justification saying | | | | A koi feed formulation expert from Holland with 22 |
| that LT94 is made from fishing bye-catch as the | | | | years experience agreed with me that a mere 1 |
| existence of all species in an ecosystem are all | | | | gram of betaine in a kilogram of boilie base mix is |
| related and that means to us humans too! In fact the | | | | enough to make all the difference in bait palatability |
| reason that enzyme-treated fish proteins became so | | | | towards achieving repeated swallowing of feed or |
| incredibly important and became added to carp bait | | | | baits (while enhancing the taste other substances |

| Ethically it is better to use alternative protein sources | | | | proven to alter DNA. This is to the extent that if you |

| All the global warming and excessive carbon footprint | | | | many substances including these. The result is your |
| stuff is part of the problem of course but the big | | | | body ends up craving foods with these in preference |
| problem is that constant consumerism is the lifeblood | | | | to those foods without these, such as wheat or |

| Everything is connected and happening at once today | | | | tests can easily provide misleading results. Think |

| is Professor Catherine Rice Evens head of the | | | | You can fool carp into responding to what would in |
| antioxidant research group at Kings College London, | | | | the past be termed crap baits by the specific choice |
| University of London - check her out! She is a world | | | | of particular additive or ingredients that will make all |
| name in antioxidant research into things like flavonoids | | | | the difference. (This includes at least 2 substances in |
| and free radical research. Such research and | | | | the quaternary ammonium bases group which most |
| conversations with her have led me into investigating | | | | leading bait designers should by now be very well |
| applications and uses of potent bioactive substances, | | | | aware of!) |
| both the familiar and unfamiliar ones for use in baits | | | | I could mention there are more stimulatory types of |
| because it is very clear carp are very attracted to | | | | chlorophyll than that green stuff you see so |
| potent antioxidant substances. Examples range from | | | | obviously in green algae like spirulina or in seaweeds |
| betaine, Carophyll forms, cantaxanthin, lecithins, | | | | like kelp for instance. On this point the umami taste |
| omega oils and an incredible variety of other | | | | of the Japanese is something else to ponder as is the |
| substances from yeasts, plants, animals, fish and | | | | use of innovative ways to use seaweeds such as my |
| marine life, algae and bacteria and other things too! | | | | idea of using Suchi Nori seaweed sheet around rigs |
| Even amino acids have antioxidant properties but | | | | etc. The limit is also not the Chlorophyll Red that |
| why should this be a surprise?! The most potent | | | | some claim is in the legendary additive Robin Red. (I |
| antioxidant vegetable is garlic but its potency has | | | | have read a statement from the originators stating |
| nothing to do with any garlic smell in water but with | | | | this is not and never has been a part of the formula!) |
| its internal impacts. In the early Nineties bait master | | | | The antioxidant pigment called cantaxanthin is a great |
| Rod Hutchinson creator of Scopex, Monster Crab and | | | | stimulant that grows in effect the more carp |
| many other legendary baits and flavours whom most | | | | consume it; it is that red pigment you see in krill, |
| everyone copied to some degree told me something | | | | prawns and shrimps, lobsters and other surprising |
| very interesting. He said his favourite flavour was his | | | | places too. But this is just one form and other |
| own blueberry flavour - this was regardless of all the | | | | synthetic ones also exist and are yet to be exploited! |
| other great flavours including Mulberry Florentine, | | | | Much talk of energy-efficiency in terms of biological |
| Megaspice and so on. | | | | values are expressed but frankly it all comes down |
| Above even goji berry and acai berry the most | | | | to metabolism and so many known and obscure |
| potently bioactive fruit is blueberry. Think too about | | | | substances boost metabolism and have very |
| other carp greats - cranberry, mulberry, blackcurrant | | | | significant thermogenic effects in many ways every |
| etc; bioflavonoids are just a part of their power - but | | | | bit as impactful internally in carp as amino acids for |
| there is far more than fruits. What about spices - is | | | | instance. (Poultry protein, tiger nuts and salmon meal |
| there any coincidence that you find probably the | | | | among many others for instance, all have significant |
| most potently bioactive spice substances such as the | | | | thermogenic effects besides all those high protein |
| phenylpropanoids class of chemical compounds | | | | ingredients that might immediately spring to mind!) |
| including the polyphenol called eugenol is found in | | | | Nutritionally dense foods are thermogenic. |
| many of the best carp bait flavours? | | | | The fact is carp live for the moment and although |
| From clove, nutmeg and cinnamon, to basil essential | | | | they have memories they still eat when their |
| oil, and even according to my sources in the thymol | | | | hormones, nutrition and energy levels and gustatory |
| (from thyme oil) used in certain top Tutti Fruitti | | | | senses biofeedback etc tell them to feed. Even if the |
| flavours. Everyone and their dog must have heard | | | | bait in front of them has only 12 percent digestible |
| about the bioactive impacts of black pepper oil and | | | | percent protein and severely lacking in lysine or |
| chilli oils components (e.g. capsicum oleoresins, | | | | tryptophan or methionine or cysteine for instance, |
| piperines etc.) But there are many potent groups of | | | | but is pounding their carp senses with biofeedback |
| compounds and combinations besides just the ones | | | | loops resulting from all kinds of various potent |
| being utilised in carp baits today! (But there is nothing | | | | bioactive substances; they will succumb! |
| new in carp baits?!) Just combining vanillin (vanilla | | | | The legendary Richworth flavour called Tutti Fruitti is |
| oleoresin) with geranium terpenes and clove terpenes | | | | probably the most well-known example of a complex |
| for example and you have something new - its easy! | | | | thermogenic booster most effective in winter |
| It seems that certain aggressively shaven-headed | | | | because it boosts carp metabolism, (perhaps this is |
| magazine article writers do not factor in such things - | | | | besides the Rod Hutchinson legendary flavour |
| perhaps because they think flavours do not work or | | | | -Scopex, which is also a winter great!) Yet one of |
| more likely are actually ignorant of such substances | | | | substances within the Tutti Fruitti formula used over |
| mechanisms of effect in carp (not that they would | | | | a certain level would be toxic, but then that can be |
| ever admit it publically God forbid!) The same | | | | said of almost any potent drug - even alcohol of |
| ignorance may be argued of the effect mechanisms | | | | course! |

| or massively reduced by the intake of very potent | | | | by angler presence at a water; resulting in both |
| antioxidant substances - which carp happen to be | | | | positive and negative carp behavioural effects! All |
| drawn to instinctively although some writers seem to | | | | these keep changing, but survival is the major instinct |
| completely ignore such aspects of bait! (Just one | | | | for carp first and foremost. It is inevitable that |
