Hydrolysed Yeast Liquid
Premium Hydrolysed Yeast Liquid
This is one we spent considerable time sourcing, and the specification speaks for itself.
Premium Hydrolysed Yeast Liquid is a pure, fully soluble yeast extract produced from brewer’s yeast using enzymatic hydrolysis, filtration and concentration. The hydrolysis process breaks down the larger yeast proteins into a highly concentrated combination of small peptides and free-form amino acids, producing a dark, rich and highly palatable liquid food with no precipitates.
What really sets this product apart is the level of analysis behind it. Protein-size testing shows that the larger proteins present in the original yeast have largely disappeared following hydrolysis, having been broken down into small peptides and free amino acids below 5 kDa. Further mass-spectrometry analysis shows that the peptides are predominantly concentrated in the 0–2,500 Dalton range, with a maximum peptide molecular size of 5,000 Daltons.
The result is an exceptionally versatile liquid yeast product with an impressive nutritional profile:
For bait makers, this makes Premium Hydrolysed Yeast Liquid an extremely useful multi-purpose liquid food. Its rich yeast profile, high level of small peptides and naturally occurring amino acids make it ideal for incorporating into boilie base mixes, spod and particle mixes, stick mixes, pellets and other bait applications.
We originally sourced this fantastic liquid when established hydrolysed yeast liquids such as Celmanax became increasingly difficult to obtain. Rather than simply finding a direct replacement, we wanted a product with a genuinely comprehensive specification and detailed analysis of its amino acid and peptide content. This product ticked every box and is now our hydrolysed yeast liquid of choice.
Recommended inclusion: Up to 30ml per kg of base mix, adjusted according to the other liquids being used.
Full Fat GLM Powder
We are now extremely happy to be able to offer this pure full fat green lipped mussel powder, something we have been asked for more times than we can remember. This pure full fat version offers all the nutrient-rich natural oils alongside the highly attractive, very potent meaty shellfish aroma. This fantastic addictive is packed full of essential amino acids and contains a protein content in excess of 60%, This has been sourced from the leading producers in New Zealand, there isn’t a higher quality available.
Recommend inclusion level is up to 30g / 50g per kg base mix, some have also had great success with much higher inclusion rates.
Premium Shrimp Hydrolysate – NEW (Thicker & Darker In Colour)
*Our newly sourced shrimp hydro is very very thick and darker in colour, not to far away from being paste.
Our premium shrimp hydrolysate has been formulated using 100% shrimp. This newly sourced shrimp hydrolysate is a much thicker liquid but still ultra soluble, much darker in colour with an extremely strong aroma. Yet another hydrolysate liquid we have been lucky enough to source from the leading global manufacturer of premium functional hydrolysates in liquid and powder form. This world wide multi-billon pound company produce only the best nutritional and extremely attractive hydrolysates available. This absolutely outstanding ultra soluble hydrolysate is packed with free form amino acids and also offers great palpability which in turn gives a much higher feed intake.
These premium hydrolysate liquids go through an intense 5 stage process, where carefully selected natural enzymes are used to completely break down the protein into single amino acids, creating an ultra soluble and palatable hydrolysate. A good way to check the quality of the hydrolysate is to mix it in water. The hydrolysate should fully dissolve, leaving no deposits sitting at the bottom, once settled.
Great multi-range product, useful for spod/stick/base mixes/animal feeds etc.
The recommended inclusion level is up to 50ml per kg base mix, depending on the amount of other liquids you might be adding.
All our liquid hydrolysate’s have been sourced from the leading global manufacturer of premium functional hydrolysates in liquid and powder form. Allowing us to offer only the best premium hydrolysate products available in the world.
AABaits Fishmeal Pop Up Mix
AABaits Pop-Up Mix
Our AABaits Fishmeal Pop-Up Mix has been refined to improve handling and make rolling easier, while adding slightly more structure to the core. It now matches the buoyancy of the discontinued Ultra Buoyant Fishmeal Pop-Up Mix.
This mix can be used with either water or liquid egg, alongside bait preservative. When using water and bait preservative, the finished baits will still be sufficiently firm. For those who prefer a harder finish, using liquid egg with bait preservative will increase firmness slightly compared to water.
For best results, always weigh your liquids (egg or water) and powders accurately. Pop-up mixes require precise measurements, so we recommend using scales accurate to at least 0.1g to ensure consistency.
This mix produces extremely buoyant hook baits that will remain popped up for days. In our tank tests, 12mm pop-ups tied to a thinking anglers size 4 curved shank hook with a micro ring bait swivel remained buoyant for over 7 days (testing was stopped at that point).This mix is also ideal for incorporating your own base mixes. Thanks to its high buoyancy, it allows a high inclusion rate of base mix when producing matching ‘match the hatch’ wafters. Please refer to the guide below for the recommended ratios for different hook bait sizes. These are guidelines only and can be adjusted to suit your own preferred level of buoyancy and rig setup.
Made with milk and egg proteins, along with high-quality milk powders, this mix offers excellent leakage and takes on flavours and attractors extremely well. It is easy to use and roll, with a firm yet workable texture that allows use with a bait needle without excessive force.
Wafter Buoyancy Ratios
15mm Hook Bait
Produces a well-balanced wafter when used with a Thinking Anglers Size 4 Curved Shank Hook and Micro Rig Swivel, based on our own testing. As every base mix differs in density, your results may vary. Use this as a starting point and adjust the ratio to achieve your preferred level of buoyancy.
18mm Hook Bait
Produces a well-balanced wafter when used with a Thinking Anglers Size 4 Curved Shank Hook and Micro Rig Swivel, based on our own testing. As every base mix differs in density, your results may vary. Use this as a starting point and adjust the ratio to achieve your preferred level of buoyancy.
NOTE: These are guidelines, ratios can be altered accordingly. Adding more base mix will lower the buoyancy of the finished hookbait.
Pop Up Buoyancy Ratios
15mm Hook Bait
Produces a pop up that is still buoyant enough when used with a Thinking Anglers Size 4 Curved Shank Hook and Micro Rig Swivel, based on our own testing. As every base mix differs in density, your results may vary. Use this as a starting point and adjust the ratio to achieve your preferred level of buoyancy.

As every base mix differs in density, your results may vary. Use this as a starting point and adjust the ratio to achieve your preferred level of buoyancy.
NOTE: These ratios are intended as a starting point and can be adjusted to achieve your preferred level of buoyancy. Increasing the proportion of base mix will gradually reduce the buoyancy of the finished hook bait. If too much base mix is incorporated, the hook bait may not remain buoyant for the required duration. Trial and error may be necessary to achieve the perfect balance for your chosen base mix and rig setup.

Overall Mixing Ratio
IMPORTANT: Always weigh both liquids and powders accurately using digital scales capable of measuring to at least 0.1g.
The standard mixing ratio for this wafter mix is 1.46g powder to 1g total liquid. This ratio has been developed to provide the ideal consistency, workability and finished buoyancy.
When incorporating additional liquids or powdered additives such as flavours, oils, liquid foods, amino acids or powdered attractors, the ratio may require slight adjustment.
As a starting point for customised recipes, reduce the ratio to approximately 1.35g powder per 1g total liquid, then fine tune until your preferred dough consistency is achieved.

Larger Batch Guide (Per 1kg Wafter Mix)
Note: For the most even colour distribution, place the dry mix and dyes into a sealed bag, trap some air inside and shake thoroughly before adding any liquids.
Flavour Inclusion
Some flavours simply are not compatible with pop-up and wafter mixes and can significantly affect the binding properties of the dough.
If this occurs, try one of the following:
Some flavours can only be applied to the finished hook baits because they interfere with the binding process too much to be incorporated into the mix.
For maximum attraction, we recommend boosting finished hook baits with flavours and additional liquid attractors after boiling. During the boiling process, some attractants are inevitably lost, while the coagulated egg albumen locks in a proportion of the remaining liquids, reducing their leakage. Applying flavours and attractors to the finished hook baits maximises leakage and overall attraction.
Note: Allow the hook baits to dry until they still retain a slight amount of flexibility before reapplying additional flavours or liquids. These can be applied multiple times to further increase attraction.
Instructions
Batch Yield: Approximately 250g of finished hook baits. Simply halve all ingredients to produce approximately 125g.
Boiling Times
12mm – 60 seconds
15mm – 1½–2 minutes
18mm –2–2.5 minutes
Drying & Storage
Proper drying is essential. Air dry your hook baits for a minimum of 24 hours before storing, allowing longer during colder or more humid conditions. The lower the remaining moisture content, the greater the resistance to mould.
Avoid over-drying your hook baits. Excessive drying can make them brittle and prone to cracking when squeezed. We prefer our finished hook baits to retain a slight amount of flexibility, allowing them to bounce back slightly rather than becoming stone hard.
Shrink Tube – Medium
Camouflaged tubing that shrinks down when steamed. Perfect when used to create a safe, bent-hook effect, helping your hooks turn and catch hold quicker. Available in green and brown variants.
