New Ultra Buoyant Fluoro Yellow Pop Up Mix
*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.
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.

Fluoro Pink Wafter Mix
After being asked many many times for a wafter mix we are extremely happy to offer this superb mix. 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. This wafter mix has been made on the buoyant side allowing you to add base mix when creating matching hook baits. When being used without any other powders added to the mix a dumbell wafter (12mm size nozzle on a 15mm rolling table) will sit nicely using a size 4 hook with a ring swivel. There is always going to be a little trial and error when creating these sort of hook baits, you can alter the buoyancy of the mix by adding more powders to the wafter mix until you achieve your desired waft. Make sure you write everything down in percentages, you can then alter your percentages until you achieve your required buoyancy, also remember the buoyancy will increase slightly as the hook bait dries out, vice versa once the hook baits takes no water it will decrease the buoyancy. Good luck and happy rolling.
One egg will take approximately 80-100 grams of pop-up mix. You will get approximately 4 pots of pop ups per 250 grams of pop-up mix once made.
Simply add 40g Fluoro dye per kg wafter mix to create fluorescent hook baits. For washed out add 20g white dye and 20g fluoro dye per kg wafter mix. These are recommendations and can be altered until you achieve your desired colour. Add both wafter mix and your chosen dyes into a large plastic bag, then close bag trapping some air inside and shake well until mixed evenly.

Spirulina
Spirulina is a natural blue-green micro algae which grows naturally in lakes, it has a protein content of approximately 60%, it is also extremely rich in the antioxidants which helps fish fight diseases and has an excellent source of nutrients, B vitamins and minerals. All this makes for a susuperb additive for year-round baits.
Spirulina will also darken your mix it is a natural way to colour your baits, whilst adding all the benefits at the same time.
Recommend inclusion level is up to 5% (50g) per kg base mix.
Pure Calanus Liquid
Pure Calanus Liquid Hydrolysate is one of the most exciting steps forward in marine-derived protein sources in many years.
It is 100% sustainable yet contains an almost unparalleled amino acid profile. Pure Calanus benefits from high levels of some of the most essential and attractive amino acids for all fish species. These provide water-soluble attraction and nutrition that is highly stimulating to carp.
This wonderfully salty, super-soluble liquid is incredibly low in fat and high in water-soluble protein. It pumps out attraction at a rapid rate, transmitting food signals far and wide. Its uses are only limited by your imagination; its relatively thin viscosity means it will penetrate boilies and pellets with ease before releasing a tantalising wave of attraction once applied to your chosen spot.
Key Features
– High in essential amino acids
– Super soluble
– PVA friendly
– Fully sustainable
– Salty and packed with highly digestible protein
Great multi-range product, useful for spod/stick/base mixes also goes really well using neat over pellets.
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 foods are of the highest grade available on the market.
Tigernuts (Large/Jumbo 12-16mm)
Large/Jumbo tiger nuts provide a larger hook bait than standard tigernuts giving you more options for presentation. The larger nuts can be drilled out and cork inserted to create bouyant and critically balanced baits.
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 vigorously for 30 minutes. If you leave the prepared Tiger nuts in an air tight bucket/container for a few days after boiling they will start to ferment, the water will turn gloopy/milky due to all the sugars in the nuts being released.
Note: Once cooked you can also add liquid foods, oils or bait additives of your choice to add even more attraction.
Whey Gel
Whey Gel (HG-80) is renowned for its excellent gelling properties, whey gel will harden baits to the core and proves itself to be extremely useful where harder baits are required due to crayfish and small fish whittling baits down. High inclusions of whey gel will reduce the cooking time required for baits to as low as 60 seconds.
This (HG-80) whey gel is a high end ingredient, high gelling Milk Protein Whey fraction, please do not confuse this with the poorer imitations available on the market. This premium whey gel will harden baits ALL the way through.
Recommend inclusion level is up to 5% – (50g) per kg base mix, dependant on what other binders are being used in the mix.

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.

Monosodium Glutamate – MSG (Food Grade)
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) is derived from fermented seaweed a well-known feeding trigger and taste enhancer, much like salt. This is used to enhance the taste of foods and now well used in the bait industry, it intensifies the taste of amino acids making it a great addition to any bait.
Recommended inclusion level is 0.4% to 0.5% (4-5g) per Kg of base mix. We advise not going over the recommend levels.
Mulberry Floritine Concentrate
Mulberry Floritine Concentrate flavour. Yet again another old school cracker, know world wide and used by many.
Recommended inclusion levels are 5-10ml per kg base mix. When using a new flavour we always advise creating a small batch of baits and starting with the lower recommended level, you can then add more going forward until you achieve your desired aroma.
For high attract pop ups & wafters we recommend adding up to 5 ml per 1 egg mix, some flavours are stronger than others so don’t be afraid to experiment.
When adding to your own glugs & liquids we recommend adding at 2% – 5% (5ml – 12ml flavour – 250ml glug), again when using a new flavour we always advise starting with the lower recommended level, you can then add more going forward until you achieve your desired aroma.
To boost your hook baits, you can use our PVA friendly Betaine liquid, DMPT liquid or Glycerine (all found under liquid foods) to dilute your chosen flavour down. Some anglers like to boost their hook baits with neat flavour whilst some like to dilute the strength down. We recommend adding the flavour at 5% (12ml flavour – 250ml booster liquid). This % can always be increased until you achieve your chosen strength. You can also add a wide variety of liquid foods etc adding more attraction to your unique booster.
All our concentrated flavours are of the highest grade/quality available on the market. As with all concentrated flavours and liquids, use in a well ventilated area and always wear safety glasses.
This is a PG based flavour which has been created with nature identical flavourings and has been carefully created to give a very appetising flavour as well as the aroma (smell), some flavours out there are mainly based on aroma chemicals (smell), with the flavour not given much thought.
