Fishmeal Base Mix

Rated 5.00 out of 5

***THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY***

*Our fishmeal base mixes contain our genuine premium Norwegian LT-94 & Newly sourced feed stimulants.

Over the last few years, we have worked tremendously hard sourcing only the highest quality ingredients, liquids, and additives available from all over the globe. Many of our new products are now exclusive to AA Baits, which allows us to formulate and offer the very best, premium quality in-house mixes, available on the market. That being said, we do keep a handful of specially sourced products close to our chest, making our mixes stand out from the rest 😉. In order for all our customers to receive a premium mix at a very fair price, we have always supplied direct. Cutting out the middle man allows us to operate using all our finest ingredients and stimulants. This also allows our finest products to be used at optimal levels.

This fish-meal base mix contains a large amount of high quality Norwegian (LT-94) fishmeal, milk and egg proteins, kelp meal, soya flour and CLO, this mix has been formulated to provide a balanced food source that is suitable for use in summer and winter months. Rolls easy and works very well.

This mix requires approximately 9 eggs per Kg of dry mix.

All our base mix’s are tried, tested and roll perfectly. We use only the highest quality ingredients available, in all optimum levels formulating an excellent food source which in turn keeps the fish coming back for more as they become familiar with the nutritional value of the bait.

Contains : Large Amount of Norwegian LT94 Fishmeal, Salmon Fishmeal, CLO, Kelp Meal and milk & egg proteins to name just a few ingredients in this mix.

Our mixes do arrive ready to roll, but many of our customers do add their own ingredients and additives to make it a unique formulation. Please bear in mind altering the mix may affect the rolling so some trial and error might be required depending on the products being added.

Example – Our Base Mix 85% , Variety of chosen ingredients 15%. Please see below as an example. Happy rolling and tight lines.

AABaits Basemix – 85%

Krill Meal – 5%

Brocacel yeast – 2.5%

GLM Powder – 2.5%

Spices – 2.5%

Betaine 2.5%

TIP: When making your own boilies it gives you the chance to NOT boil some. This allows you to have baits that haven’t been boiled, which in turn looses some goodness. But most of all it allows these baits to break down and disperse all the soluble attractors and feed stimulants into your swim much faster. These baits would require being kept in a bucket/container to save being crushed/broken once dried. Again these baits wouldn’t be hard enough to be used in a throwing stick.

New Ultra Buoyant Fluoro Yellow Pop Up Mix

***THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY***

*Please note that you will need to add more of the new pop up mix to your liquid egg than with our original mix, not adding enough pop up mix with create really soft pop ups. You need to add as much pop up mix as you can, stopping just before the dough goes too dry.

This pop-up mix will make extremely buoyant hook baits which will remain buoyant for days (we tested a 12mm for 5 days). We have been asked over and over again for a pop-up mix that is buoyant enough for a 12mm hook bait to hold a size 4 hook up with a ring swivel, look no further this pop-up does just that. The 12mm hook baits we have experimented with have stayed popped up for 5 days, we then stopped testing. Made with Milk and Egg Proteins thus increasing leakage, it also takes on attractors and flavours extremely well, you will find it easy to use and roll. It has a firm texture but remains soft enough to use with a bait needle without excessive force.

One egg will take approximately 80-100 grams of pop-up mix. You will get approximately 5 pots of pop ups per 250 grams of pop-up mix once made.

Simply add 40g Fluoro dye per kg plain pop-up mix to create fluorescent hook baits. For washed out add 20g white dye and 20g fluoro dye per kg pop up mix. These are recommendations and can be altered until you achieve your desired colour. Add both pop-up mix and your chosen dyes into a large plastic bag, then close bag trapping some air inside and shake well until mixed evenly.

With this mix being so buoyant it allows you to add extra base mix when creating wafters.

For shelf life hook baits add 10-15ml of bait preserve per egg. It is important to remember the main part of the process is to dry your hook baits well prior to storing, usually a minimum of 48hrs, it can be slightly longer in the colder months due to extra moisture being in the air, the longer your hook baits are dried the less the moisture content will be helping to prevent mould growth.

This pop up mix requires boiling for roughly 90 seconds for a 12mm and 120secs for 15mm hook baits.

AABaits Plain Pop Up Mix (Refined)

Rated 5.00 out of 5

***THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY***

AABaits Pop-Up Mix

Our AABaits Original 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 discontiuned Ultra Buoyant 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

30% Pop Up Mix
70% Base Mix

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

20% Pop Up Mix
80% Base Mix

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

75% Pop Up Mix
25% Base Mix

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.

18mm Hook Bait

65% Pop Up Mix
35% Base Mix

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.

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.

Bright Fluoro Colours – 40g Fluoro Dye
Pastel Colours – 20g Fluoro Dye – 10g white dye (not essential). Lowering the fluoro dye will create a pastel colour but we personally prefer the colour achieved by adding white dye, as it creates a softer, more natural-looking finish.)
Standard Colours – 11g Standard Dye
Iron Oxide Colours – 8g Iron Oxide Dye
White Colour – 22g White Standard Dye

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:

Dilute the flavour with bait preservative.
Mix it with your other liquid ingredients.
Dilute it with a small amount of water before adding it to the egg.

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

Weigh out 80g water (or liquid egg) and 20g bait preservative (100g total).
Add 10ml flavour and mix thoroughly.
Add your chosen powder blend and mix until a light, fluffy consistency is achieved.
Lightly coat a pair of vinyl gloves with approximately 0.5ml of your chosen oil.
Knead the mix for 2–3 minutes until a smooth dough is formed.
Place the dough into a sealed bag and leave to rest for 15 minutes to allow full absorption.
Lightly knead again before rolling into a sausage suitable for your extruder.
Load into your sausage gun and extrude a small amount to check sizing.
Begin with a slightly undersized nozzle and gradually trim it until it perfectly matches your rolling table. Always test using a full-length sausage before making further adjustments, as a full sausage can expand slightly differently during extrusion.
Roll your hook baits and transfer them to a tray. Rice flour is normally unnecessary with this mix, but if sticking occurs, lightly dust the tray and remove any excess before use.
Bring water to the boil, then reduce slightly (approximately 98°C). Although the mix will withstand a full rolling boil, a slightly lower temperature is recommended.
Remove the hook baits and place them onto an air-drying tray.
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.

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.
