i also rate how attractive to flies the boilies are when cooling and drying ,if ive gotten my bio shellfish with a touch of plum just right it draws blue bottles from miles
I always find your clips fascinating, I did back in the 80s make my own bait , but got lazy and and busy with a family. But now I want to get back into making my own again Any suggestions where to start.
18 months ago I decided to purchase a 5kg bag of your big river mix for experiment reasons, with no flavours & no additives I set about prebaiting a few popular swims that have seen everything & anything bait related. Unfortunately even after repeating this process multiple times the fish in subject still prefered an overpowered bait off the shelf 🙄 Im not sure but I personally think these fish have switched off nutrition in order for fast food, (pellets) and (overpowered baits) modern angling in a nutshell. As I'm probably the only decent angler on this streach making & dedicating true nutritional baits for my quarry, Q1. is it possible they are not recognising nutrition as the norm & maybe seeing it as a minority, I suppose a person could exist solely on Mcdonalds but I'm sure it would be a short unhappy existence. This would definitely be enough to encourage anyone weak minded to be lazy after spending over £50 on bait you still have to roll & Cook, but not me sir, 18 months later to this date & I now have my own ingredients, 4 unique bases/baits & still continuing the journey towards perfection, your video's, advice, tips & edges have been limitless to my cause. I may not have caught on big river, but I've definitely had my moneys worth through the vids, from 1 bait maker to another thank you. Regards neil.
Reuploaded to include the picture of the Caddisflies on the boilie!

Dog shit attracts flies too though
Great video john. Love your products.. u should sell base mixes in 5kg and 10kg bags with discount in buying in bulk. Alex
Great explanations as always
Hi John,
What happened to the big chub and original barbel base mixes? Will they be produced again?
Cheers
Andy
