| How do you get even more bites from bigger fish? | | | | in public perception. By all this I mean that there are |
| The answer is give them more of what they | | | | definitely giants like Scopex and Minamino out there |
| essentially need by leveraging nutrients as one | | | | and it is up to you to experiment and decide which |
| example in your baits, by adding readymade | | | | products you are going to make legendary through |
| easily-available high protein liquids. With over 3 | | | | your catches and resultant opinion! Experimentation in |
| decades of experience using liquid foods I can tell | | | | bait-making is highly productive I can assure you! |
| you a few of the best and how to use them to best | | | | Some of the flavours I am also very keen on from |
| effect; so read on! | | | | Ccmoore, include: |
| If you want to boost your catches or make your | | | | Anchovy Extract, Ultra Green-Lipped Mussel Essence, |
| baits pull more fish packing your baits with essential | | | | Ultra Peardrop Essence, Ultra Belachan Essence, Ultra |
| amino acids and betaine is easy although far from | | | | Bloodworm Essence, Ultra Cranberry Essence, Ultra |
| limited to just these. The daily requirements carp | | | | Tuna Essence, Ultra Tangerine Essence and Ultra |
| have for all kinds of nutrients means that we have a | | | | Honey Essence, (among others.) I have recently |
| vital area of leverage to exploit. It is logical that carp | | | | been doing very well on a combination of Ccmoore |
| are extremely sensitive to substances that keep | | | | Crab Essence mixed with Frankfurter Essence plus |
| them alive - betaine is one of them! (In fact we | | | | various essential oils and other liquid extracts. |
| humans have an essential requirement for betaine | | | | Ccmoore have become well-renowned for their liquid |
| too and it is found naturally in our tissues.) | | | | food supplements like the Rod Hutchinson brand and |
| Now if your baits have enough good reasons for | | | | some of these liquid foods are really becoming |
| carp to consume them they will have many | | | | legendary in their own right. Ccmoore have 12 |
| advantages over a range of less | | | | generations-worth of animal nutrition and feed |
| nutritionally-stimulating baits. But do remember that | | | | experience going in their liquid food supplement |
| nutritional is only one part of bait formulation as many | | | | designs and this background is an indication of their |
| substances which are not directly nutritional in nature | | | | potency! Some of the Ccmoore liquid foods I have |
| can very much influence fish responses and | | | | used with complete confidence and great success |
| behaviours in the short and long-terms. | | | | especially when targeting bigger fish include: |
| Whenever carp are possibly deficient in any of their | | | | Feedstim XP, Marine Amino Compound, Red Venom |
| essential nutrients, the inclusion of many of the most | | | | Liquid, Bloodworm Extract, Mussel Extract, Liquid |
| stimulatory of these nutrients in sufficient levels may | | | | Super Slop, and liquid Salmon and Krill - which is a |
| be just enough to achieve a hooked fish when less | | | | genuine legend in the making. You can use these |
| nutritional baits may well fail. | | | | either individually in any of your baits or in mixtures |
| The Rod Hutchinson brand is the oldest established | | | | as I do. (Your baits really do become fish magnets!) |
| bait company in carp fishing, and started in the late | | | | The secret in using natural liquid foods is in keeping |
| Seventies. If you want to know a few of the names | | | | them present in high enough levels in your swim, at all |
| that epitomise the pedigree and success of this | | | | times and this is connected very much to your |
| company just consider just these 2 giants in terms | | | | free-baiting skills and experience and the profiles of |
| of carp bait flavours namely, Scopex and Monster | | | | the baits you apply in terms of free amino acid-based |
| Crab. | | | | liquid foods and other naturally soluble extracts etc. |
| Other great flavours I have used with very satisfying | | | | Rod Hutchinson used to recommend low levels of his |
| and consistent success over the last 3 decades | | | | Regular Sense Appeal around 30 milliliters per pound |
| include: | | | | of base mix early on as I recall, but I put lots more in |
| Megaspice, Mega Tutti Fruitti, Maplecreme, chocolate | | | | and my results got better as a result. It was a real |
| Malt, Strawberry Cream and Pineapple Cream, Secret | | | | breakthrough for me to discover I could add loads |
| Agent and Mulberry Florentine. | | | | more liquid attraction to my boilie base mixes than |
| I wish to give Rod his well-deserved dues in | | | | just the 5 millilitres of flavour and perhaps 30 milliliters |
| recommending his completely trustworthy nutritional | | | | of liquid foods. |
| supplements which have caught me loads of bigger | | | | This success illustrates that thinking about your baits, |
| carp and other fish in all kinds of baits for 30 years. I | | | | avoiding standard recommendations and |
| have added various of these to my homemade | | | | experimenting yourself can really work well! This is |
| boilies, pellets, ground baits, particles, natural sea food | | | | especially when your homemade baits and fishing |
| baits, meat and other baits, plus used them to top | | | | experiments are based on real-time |
| readymade baits of many of the big UK bait | | | | catches-feedback. This means you will know very |
| companies. My list includes: | | | | quickly exactly when you have a winner! The |
| Shellfish Sense Appeal, Regular Sense Appeal, | | | | impregnation of machine-extruded pellets with |
| Maplesteep Liquor, Amino Blend Supreme, Aminos | | | | nutritional oils improves their attraction and similar |
| Blend Swan Mussel, The Liver Compound, Compound | | | | things work in regards to flavours, liquid foods and a |
| TF, and Solutein. | | | | range of baits including readymade baits, homemade |
| There is a wealth of very productive and long-proven | | | | boilies, pellets, particles, meat and fish baits etc. |
| liquid foods and flavours available and please take | | | | Watering down your eggs with liquid foods and other |
| note of this lesson. Some of the best products Rod | | | | liquids means your baits work more like pastes as |
| Hutchinson ever brought out ended up being | | | | they become more water-soluble and are both able |
| discontinued because shops wanted to condense | | | | to adsorb and absorb water far better into the bait |
| their range of bait products. Some of these | | | | as well as leaching far more liquid attraction. These |
| withdrawn flavours were some of the very best that | | | | few factors alone seriously boost bait performance. |
