  Rated 5.00 out of 5

  £4.75 – £1,079.99Price range: £4.75 through £1,079.99 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page

  Larger Chinese Hemp – Great split rate.

  Hemp Seed is a very well known fishing bait that has stood the test of time for all types of fishing, used on most waters hemp has produced some fantastic results catching a wide variety of fish. With struggling to source our premium cleaned and graded Chinese (much larger) seed, we are now also offering the French seed (smaller seed). Hemp seed  offers a very good protein content 30%+, full of essential amnio acids and not forgetting oily (great lipid/energy source) you can see why this is extremely attractive to ALL coarse fish. The split rate has also been very impressive making this a massively popular particle which is perfect for building an oily highly attractive baited area.

  CAUTION: All dry particles and nuts will absorb water and expand once submerged, for this reason they MUST all be prepared correctly (Soaked for a given time and cooked for a given time). Failure to prepare properly can be deadly to fish.

  TO PREPARE: Soak for a minimum of 24 hours then boil for 30 minutes.

  Note: Once cooked you can also add liquid foods, oils or bait additives of your choice to add even more attraction.

  DMPT

  £5.49 – £539.99Price range: £5.49 through £539.99 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page

  Dimethyl propiothetin (DMPT) is an algae metabolite. It is a natural sulfur-containing compound (thio betaine) and is considered the strongest attractor available. In several lab- and field tests DMPT comes out as the best feed inducing stimulant ever tested. DMPT not only improves feed intake, but also acts as a water soluble hormone-like substance. DMPT also enhances the ability to cope with stress associated with catch / transportation of fish and other aquatic animals.

  Recommended inclusion level is 0.5g to 2g per Kg of base mix, (hook bait base mix only). Can be used up to 2g per Litre of liquid in bait soaks/dips. With this ultra-strong additive, less is more. If used too much the bait WILL NOT be taken.

  Always use gloves, do not taste / ingest or inhale, keep away from eyes, pets and children.

  Use only in hookbaits (lures) which will not be digested.

  It is not allowed to be fed to fish and animals in general according to EU decree 1831/2003.

  New Ultra Buoyant Fishmeal Pop Up Mix

  Rated 5.00 out of 5

  £10.00 – £253.99Price range: £10.00 through £253.99 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page

  *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 Fishmeal 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 proteins, Egg Proteins and (CPSP 90) pre-digested fishmeal thus increasing leakage. You will find it easy to use and roll. It has a firm texture but remains soft enough to use with a bait 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.
