*Update As Per description* I would advise not using cornflour going forward due to some clumping that can occur at the bottom. I would advise to leave out the cornflour entirely, it is by no means essential and the mix will still ooze flavour and the green glow. Only difference is a slightly different thickness which makes no difference.
Will it still be thick enough without the cornflour ? Or is there something else I should use instead please. Great video though, will you be doing one for making your own boilies too.
The thickness for me is a preference thing. On a personal note the important thing is the flavour and green glow so not putting the flour in is totally fine for me and will save me money too!
Anytime Andrew. It was why i wanted to get a post out today about it having now discovered it, sadly bottles used prior seem to have hidden this :( - Most creators would simply delete any negative comments or hide behind it and play dumb but i wanted to make people aware so they can adjust their mixes to achieve the best possible results. Thank you for your continued support!!
I add vitamins and feed triggers to mine I mix in 5litre batches splitting in half to have the thinner in one bottle and thicker in other .I do add fluorescein but only to my to thicker one . The thinner liquid is used to rehydrate air dried baits & added to pellets .spod mix or method / stick / bag mix .
Very good idea, so much choice you can really make it your own! N-Buytric Acid is quite decent but my word is it the most disgusting thing I have ever smelt. Having thinner and thicker in different bottles is also a very good idea!! Thank you for watching and contributing in the comments!
Fantastic Geoffrey, I find it works best in clear waters. Or at least that's where I find liquids and attractors like this and the Kiana Goo works best in my opinion.
Great video m8 just to let everyone no if they don't already you can get the fluorescein from Toolstation for £7 eBay there £15.99 for the same also the glycerine from boots for £1.49 for 200ml in normal or blackcurrant 👍
If you are going to use a fair amount of this then go to somewhere that supplies DIY vaping liquids. The base in that is also VG and can be got for a lot less and in 1L or 5L tubs. The bottles can also be got from the same places in 5/10 Packs for cheap. Boots also do 200ml of unflavoured VG if you get stuck.
Hi Michael, Yes from the research done it seems to be used in medical/diagnostic purposes (I believe at places like the opticians). As always though its best not to try and test yourself, keep away from children etc. I am confident it would be perfectly fine but always best to be safe :).
Hi James. Thanks so much for the kind words! - Just to make you aware, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just seen). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally. Cornflour not being in will make it slightly runnier but by no means will impede the flavour and of course the green glow which is most important!
thank you very much Lockey really appreciate it. I just released a nice simple video around boilie boosting which I am sure you would love too! Be sure to check it out!!
Thank you for your comment Spomelnikov, certainly worth a try but I think any powders may clump potentially so maybe try it, keep an eye on it over a few days and see how it is. I tend to use no powders these days.
Delighted to hear you got something out of this mate, that's the big reason I make these videos. Banoffee is a great start, so far I have Banofee, orange and caramel (using the orange seen) and Liver and NBuytric. So much choice!! Just to make you aware, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just noticed..). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally. Cornflour not being in will make it slightly runnier but by no means will impede the flavour and of course the green glow, both of which are most important for me!
Just making my 1st... gone for pineapple and banana cream flavour.. smells lush... oozes the green however my corn flour was white and not yellow like yours but it works in water so cant wait try it out on 27th
I don't right now Andy but you're always welcome to drop me a message on Instagram or Twitter if you are on there and I am happy to help. Otherwise always welcome to leave a comment on a video and I will my best to come back to you ASAP.
No worries at all Andy, yes the powder in the video wasn't ideal, In most cases I have removed the flour as well as i like it to be runnier these days (dont think consiustantcy makes a difference really just preference) but if you use the flour maybe just keep an eye on it and make sure its not clumping at the bottom which can occur ive found with certain ones, might need a stir every now and then OR simply make up a small session batch the night before.
Thank you very much Jon. Sadly I do have limited videos to share as i was testing out different levels of flavour etc prior to using it in Vlogs, I didn't want to say 'try using this' before actually being able to justify it and say it actually worked and reacted how it should. I caught on this back in September, as well as a short session in December & Feb.
Forgive my ignorance, but do they sell "Elmer's Washable School Glue" in the UK? If so, have you ever tried mixing a 4oz bottle with 1oz bottle of banana extract and a drop or two (2) of food coloring?
Hi Brian. Cant say I have ever heard of it to be honest no but we probably do. Would be uncomfortable using glue though as the Glycerin base is a more natural substance in my opinion and once that's been used in Goo type products for some years. A glue would be more of a slime than a runny goo so wouldn't quite work for this type of mix really.
Awesome video and definitely going to have a crack at making this! Just a quick one though, and I'm not being negative with this. Korda don't produce the Goo range. Kiana Carp are the creators and makers of Goo, Korda just use it and promote it. Also, the fluorescence being green isn't a Korda thing either...
Cheers Stuart really appreciate the kind words! Understood and I mentioned the association to Korda and Kiana in the description I.e. Korda just distribute. I have made it clear in my description for everyone that this is MY take on the goo from their inspiration so by no means claiming this is their ingredients etc for the avoidance of any doubt.
@@Mike33 I honestly didn't want that to come across as a negative nag lol but anyway, loved the video and just having a watch through your other vids. Definitely subscribed mate
@@CarpyStewie oh no I totally get that and hope my reply didnt come across negative in any way either (the downside of text conversations lol). I watched it back and realise how it could have been interpreted that way so totally get what you mean. Thank you so much for your time in watching and I apologise in advance for the earlier videos on my channel, some shocking editing 🤣
Hi Mike. My son has had to buy all his carp fishing gear again(had it stolen), we now have some nice new reels, i was wondering what line(not much to choose from our there i know) would you say was an all rounder. He's looking at some 12lb and 15lb. Cheers Ray.
Hi Ray. So sorry to hear this, there are some real scumbags out there! In terms of line I would certainly reccomend Korda touchdown or the one I have used now for some time and that's Fox Torque 16lb. This stuff has never let me down, not once and at 16lb it will handle anything you expect to catch in this country if not further afield! www.tackleuk.co.uk/Shop/CarpFishingMonofilament/Fox-Torque-Carp-Line.htm?a=19595&of_tid=MFRWG5B5GI2DIJTGMVSWISLEHUYSM4DSN5SESZB5GMZDINY&adGroupId=68063340176&device=m&gclid=CjwKCAjwnIr1BRAWEiwA6GpwNf19h86SZZ1VhsaLDJ8rd5WouO4j_AIsX5t-p-pRtFyyk8EZWXmgPhoC84wQAvD_BwE
Thank you very much indeed for your comments. You can get them from Amazon, if you type in Benecreat 15 pack bottles it should show them for you. There are a number on the site though.
Great video, just to make something clear, if you were just after the green glow you wouldn't need to the food colouring, just the fluorescein and the other ingredients?
Thank you very much for watching and your kind words. Yes you dont need it absolutely. When it comes out the bottle it would just be a dark reddish colour from the stain of the Fluorescein. The Fluorescein gives off a greeny/red fleck without colouring from what I can recall.
@@Mike33 ok nice one, any particular colour make the fluorescein pop more or even any colour that dulls the greeny glow? Or pretty much no difference just personal preference? Cheers again!
Hi Andy sorry for the delay in coming back mate I've been manic at work! I haven't to be honest mate but what I found is the more liquid you add the more watery it becomes. Now I actually don't mind this as it will still have the effect in colour etc but give it a go mate in a small quantity and see how it goes!
You could use the goo's here and just remove the corn flour. You could choose not to add the fluorescein also if you didnt want the green aspect in your pellet. It is a PVA friendly liquid so would work quite well if you then put pellets into pva bags or mesh. Hope this helps! The time you should soak is again up for debate but personally I would just soak a day before a session (depending of course on the pellet). Hope this helps and answers your question?
Hi Robert thanks ever so much for watching. To be honest I actually removed the flour entirely shortly after the video, I felt it didn't really do much for the mix. I find removing the flour works for me because the Glucose and powdered colours give me the thickness I like anyway 😊.
Would you always suggest the N-Butyric Acid and Fluorescein - Whatsthe results without using them ? Attraction without the green glow ? - Thanks for the vid
Hi Kieran, you're very welcome. Long answer here.. I cant say I have seen a huge difference using N-Butric attraction over say a liver only flavour to be honest. Like anything with flavours and lakes, different things will work at different places so think it will be trial and error at a place you visit. You would need to build up a knowledge of a lake and use over a period of time testing N-Butric against a different flavour of your choice to see which worked best. As an example where I go normally, I fished a liver flavour goo because they react well to Liver and have caught on it. Fluorescein question is hard to answer as without underwater cameras to see how they react it's hard to really have an accurate picture BUT on lakes that see a bit of goo I would personally go with one without the Fluorescein and just inject flavour as I want to be different to everyone else which could give me an edge. Make up one with and one without and have two rods with one on each and see if you notice a difference.
@@Mike33 appreciate the reply mate - I'm going to knock one up later but use a tiny bit of almond flabouring and a small amount of fish sauce and see how it goes.
Thank you very much for watching Zac, it's much appreciated. Look forward to bringing you some new content soon so let me know how you get on, feel free to drop a mail or Instagram with any reports.
Hello I've just watched you video got to say I found it really interesting with the ingredients you use the flurescein in particular where do you get the colour variations from most seem to be green like from Toolstation screwfix ect I'm sure I've seen florescent powder on Amazon will this do the same trick
Hi Trevor, thank you very much for watching. Yes absolutely, I believe you will see a few links to some bits in the description from Amazon but the link is amzn.to/2ZVTX4L . You can buy from Toolstation/screwfix also and it all does the same job. Green is the only one I have come across personally when it comes to the fluoresceine.
Very true indeed, if truth be told I did have a round tub I have been using but its split after farrrr too much use over the last 6 months. On the shopping list! Thank you for watching!!
Nice video mike, not a dig but a few notes after seeing the video, flurocine was never in the original product which was launched in the UK and i dont belive it is in the Goo curently on the market and i wouldnt comment on how safe it is either. I know that as it was myself who imported the first batch and launched it through my bait company at the time Vision Baits, we named it Ecto-Plasm, It was distributed by a company called antiche pasture from italy, There was also a night version which needed charging up of a tourch. It was a hormone based jell which reacted with water and light, It was already PVA friendly. Anyone looking for cheap containers like been used have a look at dormex containers/ cambrian containers. Glycerine can be also bought from Direct food ingrediants/ crestchem or some bait companies will also supply it you.
Thanks for the great detail and thank you for watching and the nice comments. Yes I remember your Ecto-Plasm and it was epic, a different affect than the one im trying to relay here but a great product none the less. Not a clue if they use Fluorescein or not at Kiana as its been a closely guarded secret it seems, and in fairness you can't blame them. At least if it isn't Fluro then we have at least been able to reproduce it. This chemical again seems to have some noise around it over the years, some say safe some say not but reports say that it is a non-toxic dye that produces an intense green fluorescence colour when dissolved in water and the safety sheet on it says non toxic and non hazardous. It has been safely used to detect ophthalmic lesions including ulcers and degeneration of the cornea and seems to be used in a multitude of ways so looks like its safe to use for fishing (especially in the small quantities we are talking here). Would be great to connect on Instagram if you still use it as it would be a pleasure to discuss your Ecto-Plasm product of old!
Genuinely not sure, some say it is some say it isn't, wish i was privy to their ingredients (don't we all). I just know that almost all the homemade goo and glugs I've seen made are with it as its PVA friendly and very effective. As long as it works for us then that's good enough for me!
Haha, thanks DJ. I'm sure they will do just fine 😊. I do really enjoy their products but I just cant pay the retail price for the original product when I can make this version (not the same of course but it will do for me!). Tight lines!
MikesCarpingAdventures my thoughts exactly. now in regards to goo, its never gonna be as ‘goo’d (🥁) as there originals, like kodex ectoplasm and sonu baits lava isnt anywhere near as good but we the anglers should defo be able to have ago ourselves and this video and ur advice was a godsend as ur right 11.99 is too much for goo. your video has already had more likes then angling directs video on how to make pop ups, with a guy from mainline in it, that they put up months ago. shows the interest.
It was a South African company called Kiana that hadGoo on the market. It was not until anglers saw it being used in one of the world carp cup competitions that Korda bought the European distribution rights. Kiana still make the stuff. www.harrissportsmail.com/uk/blog/history-kiana-carp-goo
I definitely think so. Like anything it will be a trial and error on amount of flavour etc so have a play! I have another video on the channel which shows you how to do this also if it helps - th-cam.com/video/2xpm_AjDCMM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Jara, can only say I've heard of vegetable glycerin being used to be honest so couldnt say if any other type would work sadly. Any luck on Amazon? Ebay? If not then general google search?
Hi Mike my be a stupid question with a obvious answer I like the look of these and will be making them could I add fish sauce to this to make a fishy type goo ? Many thanks Freddie
Hi Freddie, not a silly question at all. I think it would likely depend on the fish liquid but I would see no reason why it wouldn't work. The flavour is one of the things that can be tweaked most, it will just be a trial and error on the quantity. Each liquid has an advised amount so do some trial and error and see what works for you 😁.
Flavours very much will depend on the lake in question. I learnt by making a few different ones and trying them out over multiple sessions. Getting to know your lake, what works etc I would always advise if I could. Maybe speak to the baliff before you arrive to give you an idea and that should be a good starting point.
Hiya Mike Really usefull and helpull Video here. One question: Does the amounts you used here fill up one of those bottles or do you need to add more to fill it up? Thank you again, Very helpfull
Hi mate, you're very welcome. The amount I used filled one of those bottles, if anything there was ever so slightly more left over in the jug after filling. As time has gone on my additional advice is to play with flavour levels as well. Depending on how heavily concentrated your flavour is will dictate how much is needed. Some may need hardly anything and others need more. Read the bottle instructions for whatever you use and experiment, like any bait or addictive different things work in different places 😀. Tight Lines and thanks for watching!!
I keep it stored somewhere dark and cool i.e. Shed outside but that's more in case anything was to ever find its way out, I can avoid a divorce then. Don't see a need for a fridge storage personally
Hi Benny, the acid is just an attractor, definitely look it up online and it will give you a wealth of knowledge of what it can be used for. I tend to mix it in with a fruity flavour at times to in theory equal things out, others use it alone. Lots of potential with that and others 😊
Of course Benny no problem. If you have Instagram then feel free to connect with any questions. If you want to recreate the glow then Fluroescein is the thing that will create that.
Hi Zambaret, Vegetable Glycerin has been used in fishing baits for years and also used for preserving baits and often sold by bait companies directly. It's safe for fish not to worry, I would never use something that wasnt 😊
Hi Chris, absolutely i did quite a bit of testing vs the other kind of goo you can find and didn't see any difference personally other than the texture as ive discovered the flour is sinking, so the difference will be the thickness of the liquid in the main. For a detailed answer which you may find interesting if you look at my reply to Kieran below around testing/ lakes etc it should help to answer in some detail.
Yes it is fine, Fluorescein has been used for many years in medicine for diagnostic purposes and is considered safe, its also been used in several fishing products for years apparently. Ophthalmologists use it to stain human eyes. As others have pointed out, it's also safe in water course tracing.
Yes agreed, its not the same (wish i knew their ingredients!) but you know what it's like, an edge is an edge and one we will never turn down. Sometimes it may just make the difference and for me saving a lot of money and catching on something you have made yourself is a fab feeling.
I remember from a session in September when I was on with around 8 others. I turned up and they had all been there for 24 hours, 1 person had a 14lb so far and within a matter of a couple of hours I had a couple to 16lb. Cant say it's all down to goo as that would be hard to prove but it certainly did no harm at all. Hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking your time in watching!
Thank you for your comment. To answer in reverse, ive not tried starch in this mix but personally think its best to just ignore the flour content as it will still have a good consistency to the mix. If you use more of a powdered colour as well for example that will help retain its thickness. Glycerin absorbs water/liquid well so anything to reduce the liquid amounts is best. Ive not used any extracts with an alcoholic element so cant comment but if i had to advise then you coukd well find your flavour out there without it, there are a number of flavourings that mimic others, there seems an unlimited amount out there right now 😁.
Hi mate, yes its safe. If you see some comments below it gives you an overview but in short it's used in eyes and in different medical settings as well as in drains to detect issues.
Hi Mikey. I bought mine originally on Amazon. If buying in bulk this is worth a look. amzn.to/2ZsdxFv If not Amazon just do a general search on Google and there are a number of other places listed.
Any time at all. My advice to all as well is to have a play with the level of flavour you use, the types of flavours etc as you can get away with far more than the example I gave but it should start you off. For me the green attraction is a big bonus here, I think even without flavour this would be enough attraction alone but I would still have flavour alongside.
Hey, I noticed you had Butyric Acid listed in the ingredients, but I didn't see where you used it in the video. What step of the process do you include the Butyric Acid?
Hi Justin, well spotted! Add at the same time as you do normal flavours. Always good to mess with levels of flavour also as some use much higher levels than I do in the video. N-butyric however be careful with as it's very strong and is best used to round off flavours really.
It was a matter of seconds from memory Justin. Funny enough the reason behind a jump if I recall was my son came into the shot and said something I couldn't include 🤣. Like any PVA though water temp etc plays a part in dissolve time but either way it should be dissolved within seconds really.
Hi mate. Yes it will still glow green due to the Fluorescein being present in the liquid. The dye is purely the colour of it when liquid goes onto your bag etc, in the end it will present as green goo in the water so as a personal opinion colour isnt all that important. I use yellow or red traditionally.
Thank you very much Alien for your very kind words, great that you enjoyed it. Lots more to come in the future so I hope you enjoy those too! Tight lines!
Thank you Gaz, if i recall i got mine from toolstation but i think it can be found in a number of places now, even Amazon do it i think. Have aplay with amounts as its quite powerful stuff so dont need too much and the same with the flavourings, depending on their concentration different amounts will be needed. I have since removed flour from mine, i quite like the consistancy as it is. Good luck for the rest this coming campaign!
@@Mike33 cheers Mike , tool station was a good shout .., you get a lot more for your money . It was the the missing ingredient to the goo that just tops it off so thanks for replying so quick
Hi Charlie, I got mine from Amazon but the prices seemed to fluctuate a bit so do a search on there and then compare on your normal places like Ebay & Google. Hope this helps 😁
It should do mate, give it a try. Play with the amount of flavour to use etc. My video will give you a guide to follow but as always play with flavours amounts of flavour etc until you find the right combination. Thank you very much for watching!
Interesting.aside from the color and corn flour,this isn't much different than making ejuice.and as a diy ejuice guy,I happen to allways have glycerin on hand
Deffanatly want to try this out.i trust korda knows their stuff.we can't get much of their stuff here in the states unless we order online,but what little I know of em they spend alot of time in the feild testing their products and put science behind it.so this is worth looking into.the florocene stuff I'll have to order,but I either have or can have everything else.and I need all the edge I can get.there is a very spooky carp I'm after lol.had him once when I didn't know carp where there,snapped my 8 pound line.need to get him again,make sure that hook is removed.do you have any way of like recording fish response to this side by side regular boilies?I understand this needs an underwater camera,so no worries if not.but I think there is a ton to be learned with an eye under the water.im trying to get a set up myself.
Thanks for your comment again Richard. The only way to know if these liquids work is to test them on individual waters, different flavours, different amounts of flavours etc. That goes for homemade versions as well as the Kiana goos because any liquid from any company will work better than others. The list of variables are huge in fishing as I'm sure you know. All I know is that I've personally used the ones I've made, I caught on them as soon as yesterday (see this weekends vlog). Would also point out that I still use Kiana/Korda goo as well as a Nash version for the simple reasons mentioned around different lakes reacting differently.
Sir i did this to you I liked it very much Inshallah will try this in Pakistan I watch your very video I will be thankful to your channel too Start over your channel
I keep seeing is this safe for fish? In short yes it is safe BUT in huge huge quantities it is not, Korda went into this with a good explanation and I can't remember fully what they said but it was something along the lines of it would take 100,000 bottles all poured into a lake at once to have any bad effect on fish ( just some info you might find interesting) 🙃
couple of favours id love to try and combine but can only seem to get them in syrups... would this still work? with the same recipe? great video BTW made me wanna try it now haha
Thank you very much for watching Tom, glad you enjoyed it! In answer to your question i'm not too sure if the Syrup would work the same or not. Most syrups on the market use high fructose syrup. Secondly, syrups are heavy, so when you purchase them, you are paying for some water weight. I recently discovered called 'Special Ingredients', the choice was extensive and i can already imagine some combos I can create! Its worth checking them out as it seems they are highly concentrated vs shop brought so means it will likely go further (i am yet to use them though), failing that Ebay and Amazon hav a wide choice!
What was the point of the yellow food colouring if the final mix is always green, & iv not seen cornflour like that before?? Not criticising just curious 👍
Thanks for the question Lee. The final mix should generally be the colour of the colouring that has been put in (if a good concentrated amount of the colouring has been used) BUT it can at times be dulled or changed when mixed with the Fluro because the stain of the Fluroescein is quite strong. In truth you can probably get away without colour if you wanted, and if so then I expect it will just be a dark red type colour from the stain of the fluorescein.
Hi Ray, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just noticed..). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally. Cornflour not being in will make it slightly runnier but by no means will impede the flavour and of course the green glow, both of which are most important for me!
Fantastic mate. If it helps (and I'm not sure if done already) but make in the 100ml or 200ml batch size. The method and amount will suit perfectly. Please feel free to reach out if you have any issues at all, I'm more than happy to help. I made one that I plan on glugging my baits in when we next get back out.
Hi Gazza,Just to make you aware, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just noticed..). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally. Cornflour not being in will make it slightly runnier but by no means will impede the flavour and of course the green glow, both of which are most important for me!
Im thinking it may have the same affect. Mainly because the density issue with the flour vs the liquid. I would say make without as it wont change anything flavour or glow wise just a slightly difference consistency which really makes no difference to the use.
Hi Luke, N-butyric acid is a totally natural organic acid. It is normally found in rancid butter, parmesan cheese and get this...vomit, and is completely water soluble which makes it a great additive to use during the cold water temperatures. It can be mixed with other flavours and If you decide to buy then dont leave it in the house, it is by far the worst smell I've ever come across!
Absolutely, not needed at all just another flavour combo. It was originally in the edit I did but I was trying to keep it as close to supermarket products as I could. Thank you very much for watching and your comment!
Thank you very much Lewis, the green aspect is a result of the fluorescein so if you remove this it will be just a liquid to pump into bags/sticks/cover baits etc. This isn't a bad thing at all and I actually have another video on the channel which you will be interested in on how to super boost your boilies in a different way which i think is a great edge, but if you do need that green aspect then that fluorescein would be needed.
of course not mate no problems, maybe you can make it even better than I did because if I could go back and change things a little I think I would 🤣. I would advise to maybe come at it from a different angle or something fresh if you do one though so that it's not exactly the same, put your spin on it!
Yes, gotta love infusing baits. I actually made some boilies from scratch mixing in some of the flavours and other ingredients where relevant and the boilies ooze the flavour and green glow. Always good to be different!
That's what it is! in summer this Looks like a toxic slick when seen from high up after someone's session, you see it mid water drifting 50+ meters away or so. How about no color! maybe worth a try.
Yes it's used quite a bit (the homemade version and other official brands). If they don't want the green glow then absolutely it is easy enough, just use flavours and all good. 👌
Hi Kayleigh, the only changes I have made is removing the flour as i quite prefer the runnier constancy of the mix. Experiment with flavour amounts and types as highly concentrated flavour will naturally need far less than others (the bottles of flavours will typically give a guide). Hope this helps and good luck!
Hi Joe, the Fluorescein mentioned is used for various things like drains, eyes etc so should be fine but there are some comments with suggestions on where to find it alongside Amazon.
Hi Ben. Yes I have caught on this just before the lockdown kicked in. Had one rod on Liquid and another not on any at all (same boilie and rig). Pleased to say that the one with liquid was the winner on that occasion. I would always advise to test out your own goo like this over a period of time to see if it makes much difference on the water you are fishing. As always different lakes will react differently to flavours. Good luck!
@@bennicholson191 very welcome Ben. All from the supermarket except for the bits highlighted part way in (Fluoroescein) which gives the green glow effect. Some decide not to have the green glow and just go for the PVA flavour burst to put in the bags etc. The fluoroescein is only worth having if you want that green affect.
Hi Zoltan, I got mine from Amazon but the prices seemed to fluctuate a bit so do a search on there and then compare on your normal places like Ebay & Google. Hope this helps 😁. A link to mine - amzn.to/35dHfAg
Hi Mark. My personal flavour faves are Krill, Squid and probably Octopus. Sometimes I would use all 3 and other times just the one but it's good to play around and see what works on different lakes.
Sadly you won't find krill etc in the shops (maybe tackle shops) but ones like these are worth a look - amzn.to/3jA37g4 Alternatively just look for highly concentrated flavours from bait companies, a number around luckily.
If you want shop bought then definitely make your way to the baking isle and you will have a number of options that used alone or in combination with something else, would go down nicely.
If you want something "off the shelf" go to a chinese store and find some belachan/fermented shrimp paste. You can also find msg in the same store wich is another great addition.
Good video and subscribed! A better alternative would be to use corn syrup as it's a natural preservative and use thurmatine B as a flavouring. If you have time check out my channel. Stay safe buddy.
Fantastic thank you Darren, i will certainly look into the options you mentioned, always willing to learn on better ways of doing things! Will check out the channel for sure! Tight Lines!!
I have purchased the likes of n-butyric (dreadfully smelly) and some other extras i use personally. Kept the flavours quite basic here so people have something to be getting on with. I started out this way and build up my supply of flavours :)
Once you have used the bottles then absolutely re-use where you can. They last for quite some time I have found so it's rare one will be empty for some time 😁
Thanks for your comments Jason. Everyone watches videos for different reasons and likes different things so thank you for your input. I really hope you give it a go and hopefully it will work for you. All the best!
*Update As Per description*
I would advise not using cornflour going forward due to some clumping that can occur at the bottom. I would advise to leave out the cornflour entirely, it is by no means essential and the mix will still ooze flavour and the green glow. Only difference is a slightly different thickness which makes no difference.
Will it still be thick enough without the cornflour ? Or is there something else I should use instead please. Great video though, will you be doing one for making your own boilies too.
The thickness for me is a preference thing. On a personal note the important thing is the flavour and green glow so not putting the flour in is totally fine for me and will save me money too!
I am considering a boilie making video with a similar theme i.e. supermarket ingredients but want to do a little bit more testing first 😊
You’re a star mate, just thought I would ask before I have a go at making some flavours, keep up the good work. Tight lines mate 🎣
Anytime Andrew. It was why i wanted to get a post out today about it having now discovered it, sadly bottles used prior seem to have hidden this :( - Most creators would simply delete any negative comments or hide behind it and play dumb but i wanted to make people aware so they can adjust their mixes to achieve the best possible results.
Thank you for your continued support!!
I add vitamins and feed triggers to mine I mix in 5litre batches splitting in half to have the thinner in one bottle and thicker in other .I do add fluorescein but only to my to thicker one . The thinner liquid is used to rehydrate air dried baits & added to pellets .spod mix or method / stick / bag mix .
Very good idea, so much choice you can really make it your own! N-Buytric Acid is quite decent but my word is it the most disgusting thing I have ever smelt. Having thinner and thicker in different bottles is also a very good idea!! Thank you for watching and contributing in the comments!
What vitamins do you add?
Another Instagram request and very happy to oblige! Hope you enjoy and remember to check out my other videos afterwards!
Made as described and used. Loads cheaper than off the shelf. Funnily enough, IT WORKS!!!
Fantastic Geoffrey, I find it works best in clear waters. Or at least that's where I find liquids and attractors like this and the Kiana Goo works best in my opinion.
Hi Mike I made these and used Naga chilli pepper and some jelly crystals to thicken and the carp absolutely love it. Tight lines m8
Great video m8 just to let everyone no if they don't already you can get the fluorescein from Toolstation for £7 eBay there £15.99 for the same also the glycerine from boots for £1.49 for 200ml in normal or blackcurrant 👍
Thank you for the kind words Dillon! Excellent mate, nice one for sharing I am sure that will help people massively.
If you are going to use a fair amount of this then go to somewhere that supplies DIY vaping liquids. The base in that is also VG and can be got for a lot less and in 1L or 5L tubs.
The bottles can also be got from the same places in 5/10 Packs for cheap.
Boots also do 200ml of unflavoured VG if you get stuck.
Absolutely, shop around there are multiple online suppliers you can get it from extremely cheap.
Hi sorry what is the vg ?
Vegetable glycerin mate.
Is the green stuff alright for the fish as it says keep away from children i was thinking it could be harmful 👍👍
Hi Michael, Yes from the research done it seems to be used in medical/diagnostic purposes (I believe at places like the opticians). As always though its best not to try and test yourself, keep away from children etc. I am confident it would be perfectly fine but always best to be safe :).
Boots for glycerine £1.49 200ml.
Toolstation / Screwfix for the flourecine (it's a drain dye)
Great thanks Lee, its quite affordable that's for sure at both places :)
Nice i will check it out mate cheers

Hi James. Thanks so much for the kind words! - Just to make you aware, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just seen). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally. Cornflour not being in will make it slightly runnier but by no means will impede the flavour and of course the green glow which is most important!
Hi Mike thank you for the video, found this fascinating and looking forward to more.
thank you very much Lockey really appreciate it. I just released a nice simple video around boilie boosting which I am sure you would love too! Be sure to check it out!!
Whats your thoughts on replacing cornflour with corn starch? Should add thickness too, but i am not sure how it works with glycerine...
Thank you for your comment Spomelnikov, certainly worth a try but I think any powders may clump potentially so maybe try it, keep an eye on it over a few days and see how it is. I tend to use no powders these days.
Awesome video mate will be trying this out for sure, might try a banoffee flavour for first attempt, thanks for sharing
Delighted to hear you got something out of this mate, that's the big reason I make these videos. Banoffee is a great start, so far I have Banofee, orange and caramel (using the orange seen) and Liver and NBuytric. So much choice!!

No worries at all Andy, yes the powder in the video wasn't ideal, In most cases I have removed the flour as well as i like it to be runnier these days (dont think consiustantcy makes a difference really just preference) but if you use the flour maybe just keep an eye on it and make sure its not clumping at the bottom which can occur ive found with certain ones, might need a stir every now and then OR simply make up a small session batch the night before.
He used corn meal not flour
Nice channel mate man after my own heart well done
Thank you very much for your comment and time watching! Hope you enjoy my future videos Brian!
What a brilliant idea, have you got any vids of you using your own goo and catching on it?
Thank you very much Jon. Sadly I do have limited videos to share as i was testing out different levels of flavour etc prior to using it in Vlogs, I didn't want to say 'try using this' before actually being able to justify it and say it actually worked and reacted how it should. I caught on this back in September, as well as a short session in December & Feb.
Forgive my ignorance, but do they sell "Elmer's Washable School Glue" in the UK? If so, have you ever tried mixing a 4oz bottle with 1oz bottle of banana extract and a drop or two (2) of food coloring?
Hi Brian. Cant say I have ever heard of it to be honest no but we probably do. Would be uncomfortable using glue though as the Glycerin base is a more natural substance in my opinion and once that's been used in Goo type products for some years. A glue would be more of a slime than a runny goo so wouldn't quite work for this type of mix really.
@@Mike33 They make several kinds of glue, but the washable is made from PVA so it should be relatively harmless.
Awesome video and definitely going to have a crack at making this!
Just a quick one though, and I'm not being negative with this. Korda don't produce the Goo range. Kiana Carp are the creators and makers of Goo, Korda just use it and promote it. Also, the fluorescence being green isn't a Korda thing either...
Cheers Stuart really appreciate the kind words! Understood and I mentioned the association to Korda and Kiana in the description I.e. Korda just distribute. I have made it clear in my description for everyone that this is MY take on the goo from their inspiration so by no means claiming this is their ingredients etc for the avoidance of any doubt.
@@Mike33 I honestly didn't want that to come across as a negative nag lol but anyway, loved the video and just having a watch through your other vids. Definitely subscribed mate
@@CarpyStewie oh no I totally get that and hope my reply didnt come across negative in any way either (the downside of text conversations lol). I watched it back and realise how it could have been interpreted that way so totally get what you mean. Thank you so much for your time in watching and I apologise in advance for the earlier videos on my channel, some shocking editing 🤣
Hi Mike.
My son has had to buy all his carp fishing gear again(had it stolen), we now have some nice new reels, i was wondering what line(not much to choose from our there i know) would you say was an all rounder. He's looking at some 12lb and 15lb.
Cheers Ray.
Hi Ray. So sorry to hear this, there are some real scumbags out there!
In terms of line I would certainly reccomend Korda touchdown or the one I have used now for some time and that's Fox Torque 16lb. This stuff has never let me down, not once and at 16lb it will handle anything you expect to catch in this country if not further afield!

Hi Mike, love the video. One question, where did you buy the bottles from?
Thank you very much indeed for your comments. You can get them from Amazon, if you type in Benecreat 15 pack bottles it should show them for you. There are a number on the site though.
Great video, just to make something clear, if you were just after the green glow you wouldn't need to the food colouring, just the fluorescein and the other ingredients?
Thank you very much for watching and your kind words. Yes you dont need it absolutely. When it comes out the bottle it would just be a dark reddish colour from the stain of the Fluorescein. The Fluorescein gives off a greeny/red fleck without colouring from what I can recall.
@@Mike33 ok nice one, any particular colour make the fluorescein pop more or even any colour that dulls the greeny glow? Or pretty much no difference just personal preference? Cheers again!
Not that i have noticed James, tried yellow and red and both had the same outcome.
Hi Mike, nice video. Have you ever added a oil based product to your glug? Such as Chilli or Hemp Oil? If so does it mix ok with the Glycerine?
Hi Andy sorry for the delay in coming back mate I've been manic at work! I haven't to be honest mate but what I found is the more liquid you add the more watery it becomes. Now I actually don't mind this as it will still have the effect in colour etc but give it a go mate in a small quantity and see how it goes!
Been wanting to flavour my own pellets any tips on best way to do it ?
You could use the goo's here and just remove the corn flour. You could choose not to add the fluorescein also if you didnt want the green aspect in your pellet. It is a PVA friendly liquid so would work quite well if you then put pellets into pva bags or mesh. Hope this helps!
The time you should soak is again up for debate but personally I would just soak a day before a session (depending of course on the pellet).
Hope this helps and answers your question?
Hi mike! Just asking was that maize flour you used cos cornflour is white isn't it as I use the white stuff in cooking ? Good vid by the way.👍
Hi Robert thanks ever so much for watching. To be honest I actually removed the flour entirely shortly after the video, I felt it didn't really do much for the mix. I find removing the flour works for me because the Glucose and powdered colours give me the thickness I like anyway 😊.
Would you always suggest the N-Butyric Acid and Fluorescein - Whatsthe results without using them ? Attraction without the green glow ? - Thanks for the vid
Hi Kieran, you're very welcome. Long answer here.. I cant say I have seen a huge difference using N-Butric attraction over say a liver only flavour to be honest. Like anything with flavours and lakes, different things will work at different places so think it will be trial and error at a place you visit. You would need to build up a knowledge of a lake and use over a period of time testing N-Butric against a different flavour of your choice to see which worked best. As an example where I go normally, I fished a liver flavour goo because they react well to Liver and have caught on it. Fluorescein question is hard to answer as without underwater cameras to see how they react it's hard to really have an accurate picture BUT on lakes that see a bit of goo I would personally go with one without the Fluorescein and just inject flavour as I want to be different to everyone else which could give me an edge. Make up one with and one without and have two rods with one on each and see if you notice a difference.
@@Mike33 appreciate the reply mate - I'm going to knock one up later but use a tiny bit of almond flabouring and a small amount of fish sauce and see how it goes.
Ooooo nice! I've ordered some new liquids today with some very interesting flavours!
just made a red one chicken flavour to match dt baits cant wait to try it :)
Thank you very much for watching Zac, it's much appreciated. Look forward to bringing you some new content soon so let me know how you get on, feel free to drop a mail or Instagram with any reports.
Hello I've just watched you video got to say I found it really interesting with the ingredients you use the flurescein in particular where do you get the colour variations from most seem to be green like from Toolstation screwfix ect I'm sure I've seen florescent powder on Amazon will this do the same trick
Hi Trevor, thank you very much for watching. Yes absolutely, I believe you will see a few links to some bits in the description from Amazon but the link is amzn.to/2ZVTX4L . You can buy from Toolstation/screwfix also and it all does the same job. Green is the only one I have come across personally when it comes to the fluoresceine.
Good demo, would use a round tub though easier for mixing! 😁👌👍
Very true indeed, if truth be told I did have a round tub I have been using but its split after farrrr too much use over the last 6 months. On the shopping list! Thank you for watching!!
@@Mike33 Pleasure like your blogs Mike!
Thanks so much Paul. Hopefully lots more to come when things get back to normal! 🎣🎣
Just seen this excellent idea were did you get the bottles from please
Hi Raymond, I got these from Amazon an age back now and still use them. I like to re-use wherever possible - amzn.to/30c1Gwg
Thanks for the tips mate👍🏻
You're very welcome mate, thank you for watching!
Nice video mike, not a dig but a few notes after seeing the video, flurocine was never in the original product which was launched in the UK and i dont belive it is in the Goo curently on the market and i wouldnt comment on how safe it is either. I know that as it was myself who imported the first batch and launched it through my bait company at the time Vision Baits, we named it Ecto-Plasm, It was distributed by a company called antiche pasture from italy, There was also a night version which needed charging up of a tourch. It was a hormone based jell which reacted with water and light, It was already PVA friendly. Anyone looking for cheap containers like been used have a look at dormex containers/ cambrian containers. Glycerine can be also bought from Direct food ingrediants/ crestchem or some bait companies will also supply it you.
Thanks for the great detail and thank you for watching and the nice comments. Yes I remember your Ecto-Plasm and it was epic, a different affect than the one im trying to relay here but a great product none the less. Not a clue if they use Fluorescein or not at Kiana as its been a closely guarded secret it seems, and in fairness you can't blame them. At least if it isn't Fluro then we have at least been able to reproduce it. This chemical again seems to have some noise around it over the years, some say safe some say not but reports say that it is a non-toxic dye that produces an intense green fluorescence colour when dissolved in water and the safety sheet on it says non toxic and non hazardous. It has been safely used to detect ophthalmic lesions including ulcers and degeneration of the cornea and seems to be used in a multitude of ways so looks like its safe to use for fishing (especially in the small quantities we are talking here). Would be great to connect on Instagram if you still use it as it would be a pleasure to discuss your Ecto-Plasm product of old!
Is this also PVA friendly just to make sure
Yes absolutely, I use this purely for my PVA fishing.
Do you think glycerine is what they use for the base for goo??
Genuinely not sure, some say it is some say it isn't, wish i was privy to their ingredients (don't we all). I just know that almost all the homemade goo and glugs I've seen made are with it as its PVA friendly and very effective. As long as it works for us then that's good enough for me!
watched it 5 times so i remember before korda pay you take it down 🤪 great video.
Haha, thanks DJ. I'm sure they will do just fine 😊. I do really enjoy their products but I just cant pay the retail price for the original product when I can make this version (not the same of course but it will do for me!). Tight lines!
MikesCarpingAdventures my thoughts exactly. now in regards to goo, its never gonna be as ‘goo’d (🥁) as there originals, like kodex ectoplasm and sonu baits lava isnt anywhere near as good but we the anglers should defo be able to have ago ourselves and this video and ur advice was a godsend as ur right 11.99 is too much for goo.
your video has already had more likes then angling directs video on how to make pop ups, with a guy from mainline in it, that they put up months ago. shows the interest.
Thanks mate, I've really enjoyed Goo in the past and still have it. Would have no issue in using it going forward but gives us another option eh!
It was a South African company called Kiana that hadGoo on the market. It was not until anglers saw it being used in one of the world carp cup competitions that Korda bought the European distribution rights. Kiana still make the stuff. www.harrissportsmail.com/uk/blog/history-kiana-carp-goo
Would skipping the Fluorescein for just an attractant be worthwhile?
I definitely think so. Like anything it will be a trial and error on amount of flavour etc so have a play! I have another video on the channel which shows you how to do this also if it helps - th-cam.com/video/2xpm_AjDCMM/w-d-xo.html
Can I use any kind of glycerin?
Like used in human skin.
It hard to find vegetables glycerin in my country
Hi Jara, can only say I've heard of vegetable glycerin being used to be honest so couldnt say if any other type would work sadly. Any luck on Amazon? Ebay? If not then general google search?
Same problem
Hi Mike my be a stupid question with a obvious answer I like the look of these and will be making them could I add fish sauce to this to make a fishy type goo ? Many thanks Freddie
Hi Freddie, not a silly question at all. I think it would likely depend on the fish liquid but I would see no reason why it wouldn't work. The flavour is one of the things that can be tweaked most, it will just be a trial and error on the quantity. Each liquid has an advised amount so do some trial and error and see what works for you 😁.
Thanks very much Mike I will have a little play about with liquids and stuff. Will put up results if you like?
@@freddiewaters2288 that would be fantastic Freddie. If you have an instagram please connect and send across!
Hi mike yes will do just sent you a request follow
Would you say one works better than the other or do they both work about the same ?
Flavours very much will depend on the lake in question. I learnt by making a few different ones and trying them out over multiple sessions. Getting to know your lake, what works etc I would always advise if I could. Maybe speak to the baliff before you arrive to give you an idea and that should be a good starting point.
Tried it today amazing
Glad you liked it Jack, hope its been working for you mate!
Hiya Mike
Really usefull and helpull Video here.
One question: Does the amounts you used here fill up one of those bottles or do you need to add more to fill it up?
Thank you again, Very helpfull
Also for storage for later use, should it be stored in the fridge or just room temp?
Hi mate, you're very welcome. The amount I used filled one of those bottles, if anything there was ever so slightly more left over in the jug after filling. As time has gone on my additional advice is to play with flavour levels as well. Depending on how heavily concentrated your flavour is will dictate how much is needed. Some may need hardly anything and others need more. Read the bottle instructions for whatever you use and experiment, like any bait or addictive different things work in different places 😀. Tight Lines and thanks for watching!!
I keep it stored somewhere dark and cool i.e. Shed outside but that's more in case anything was to ever find its way out, I can avoid a divorce then. Don't see a need for a fridge storage personally
Very good tip that thanks great video
Thank you very much for watching and glad you enjoyed it. All the best in your creations and I hope it helps! 🎣🎣
Hi can you use just the acid for the gren glow or is that just for flavour ?
Hi Benny, the acid is just an attractor, definitely look it up online and it will give you a wealth of knowledge of what it can be used for. I tend to mix it in with a fruity flavour at times to in theory equal things out, others use it alone. Lots of potential with that and others 😊
@@Mike33 ahh OK do you still need flourecien for the glow and sorry for the questions just will be my first time making it
Of course Benny no problem. If you have Instagram then feel free to connect with any questions. If you want to recreate the glow then Fluroescein is the thing that will create that.
@@Mike33 any chance you could put the link to where you had your flourescein from as its proving tricky for me to find it
I purchased on ebay however one of my followers said toolstation are doing 113g for 6 quid, that's a bargain and will last an age!
Isnt vegetable glycerin toxic for fish? Is used for farmaceutics, i want to see a report about this for fish
Hi Zambaret, Vegetable Glycerin has been used in fishing baits for years and also used for preserving baits and often sold by bait companies directly. It's safe for fish not to worry, I would never use something that wasnt 😊
have you done any tests this against goo mate how does it compare?
Hi Chris, absolutely i did quite a bit of testing vs the other kind of goo you can find and didn't see any difference personally other than the texture as ive discovered the flour is sinking, so the difference will be the thickness of the liquid in the main. For a detailed answer which you may find interesting if you look at my reply to Kieran below around testing/ lakes etc it should help to answer in some detail.
Is there proof that flurocien is safe for fish?
Yes it is fine, Fluorescein has been used for many years in medicine for diagnostic purposes and is considered safe, its also been used in several fishing products for years apparently. Ophthalmologists use it to stain human eyes. As others have pointed out, it's also safe in water course tracing.
It's a good edge I've been doing it for years but it's not the same or as good as the real goo
Yes agreed, its not the same (wish i knew their ingredients!) but you know what it's like, an edge is an edge and one we will never turn down. Sometimes it may just make the difference and for me saving a lot of money and catching on something you have made yourself is a fab feeling.
I remember from a session in September when I was on with around 8 others. I turned up and they had all been there for 24 hours, 1 person had a 14lb so far and within a matter of a couple of hours I had a couple to 16lb. Cant say it's all down to goo as that would be hard to prove but it certainly did no harm at all. Hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking your time in watching!
Where can u get the fluorescence from, thanks and a great video,
Hi Mark, It can be found on ebay but also someone mentioned they found it for £6 at Toolstation for 113g which if still in stock is a bargain!!

I look forward to bringing some more content soon!!
@@Mike33 nice one, thanks

What if the extract has alcohol in it? Can corn starch sub for cornflour?
Thank you for your comment. To answer in reverse, ive not tried starch in this mix but personally think its best to just ignore the flour content as it will still have a good consistency to the mix. If you use more of a powdered colour as well for example that will help retain its thickness. Glycerin absorbs water/liquid well so anything to reduce the liquid amounts is best. Ive not used any extracts with an alcoholic element so cant comment but if i had to advise then you coukd well find your flavour out there without it, there are a number of flavourings that mimic others, there seems an unlimited amount out there right now 😁.
@@Mike33 cheers
Is they fluorescein powder and acid safe for the fish?
Hi mate, yes its safe. If you see some comments below it gives you an overview but in short it's used in eyes and in different medical settings as well as in drains to detect issues.
Where would you recommend to get the big bottle of vegetable glycerin from. I am from the UK so im not sure
Hi Mikey. I bought mine originally on Amazon. If buying in bulk this is worth a look. amzn.to/2ZsdxFv
If not Amazon just do a general search on Google and there are a number of other places listed.
Amazon's good I use it all the time thankyou
Any time at all. My advice to all as well is to have a play with the level of flavour you use, the types of flavours etc as you can get away with far more than the example I gave but it should start you off. For me the green attraction is a big bonus here, I think even without flavour this would be enough attraction alone but I would still have flavour alongside.
vapable are pretty good on prices for VG. £4.99 for 1 litre or £15.49 for 5 litres.
www.darkstar.co.uk/vegetable-glycerine £10ish for 5ltr delivered next day.... use it to mix my vape liquid
What other smoke colour can I do I don't like the green smoke
Can't say I have seen any other colours as the substance that makes the glow is naturally green.
Is there alternative materials for the fluorcein?finding this is difficult to track down

Toolstation will be your best bet if they have some in also.

Hey, I noticed you had Butyric Acid listed in the ingredients, but I didn't see where you used it in the video. What step of the process do you include the Butyric Acid?
Hi Justin, well spotted! Add at the same time as you do normal flavours. Always good to mess with levels of flavour also as some use much higher levels than I do in the video. N-butyric however be careful with as it's very strong and is best used to round off flavours really.
Awesome thanks! About how much time passed between when you put the bag in the water until you had the bigger cloud, I could see the video lapsed some
It was a matter of seconds from memory Justin. Funny enough the reason behind a jump if I recall was my son came into the shot and said something I couldn't include 🤣. Like any PVA though water temp etc plays a part in dissolve time but either way it should be dissolved within seconds really.
Hi buddy if I had red colouring then added the fluorescein will it still go green?
Hi mate. Yes it will still glow green due to the Fluorescein being present in the liquid. The dye is purely the colour of it when liquid goes onto your bag etc, in the end it will present as green goo in the water so as a personal opinion colour isnt all that important. I use yellow or red traditionally.
Cheers for your help buddy tight lines stay safe
Anytime at all, best of luck when back on the bank!
Hello, do i need yellow food color if i put flourescent to get green flouro color,
Hi Daniel, to be honest you don't strictly even need colouring as the Green Fluro affect is simply caused but he fluorescein alone.

Thank you Gaz, if i recall i got mine from toolstation but i think it can be found in a number of places now, even Amazon do it i think. Have aplay with amounts as its quite powerful stuff so dont need too much and the same with the flavourings, depending on their concentration different amounts will be needed. I have since removed flour from mine, i quite like the consistancy as it is. Good luck for the rest this coming campaign!

Deffanatly want to try this out.i trust korda knows their stuff.we can't get much of their stuff here in the states unless we order online,but what little I know of em they spend alot of time in the feild testing their products and put science behind it.so this is worth looking into.the florocene stuff I'll have to order,but I either have or can have everything else.and I need all the edge I can get.there is a very spooky carp I'm after lol.had him once when I didn't know carp where there,snapped my 8 pound line.need to get him again,make sure that hook is removed.do you have any way of like recording fish response to this side by side regular boilies?I understand this needs an underwater camera,so no worries if not.but I think there is a ton to be learned with an eye under the water.im trying to get a set up myself.
Thanks for your comment again Richard. The only way to know if these liquids work is to test them on individual waters, different flavours, different amounts of flavours etc. That goes for homemade versions as well as the Kiana goos because any liquid from any company will work better than others. The list of variables are huge in fishing as I'm sure you know. All I know is that I've personally used the ones I've made, I caught on them as soon as yesterday (see this weekends vlog). Would also point out that I still use Kiana/Korda goo as well as a Nash version for the simple reasons mentioned around different lakes reacting differently.
Sir i did this to you I liked it very much Inshallah will try this in Pakistan I watch your very video I will be thankful to your channel too Start over your channel
Thank you very much for watching, it's much appreciated. Look forward to bringing you some new content soon!!
Ok thanks
I keep seeing is this safe for fish? In short yes it is safe BUT in huge huge quantities it is not, Korda went into this with a good explanation and I can't remember fully what they said but it was something along the lines of it would take 100,000 bottles all poured into a lake at once to have any bad effect on fish ( just some info you might find interesting) 🙃
Thank you very much for sharing Bankside, yes agreed and I think no matter how much promotion they do not sure any lake will be getting that much 😁.
Great video! Subscribed!
Thank you very much CTR, I will be sure to check out your channel also!
@@Mike33 No problem, don't really post a lot of videos but check out my blog :) Love little DIY projects like your video!
If you are near a farm shop Glycerine can be bought in 5L containers.
Thank you very much Dermot, buying in bulk is great! I ordered some fresh a few days ago, saves a lot of money in the long run!
Very nice tips
Thank you very much Bilal.
Cheers pal
Will it ever go mouldy
Never had one go off yet!
couple of favours id love to try and combine but can only seem to get them in syrups... would this still work? with the same recipe? great video BTW made me wanna try it now haha
Thank you very much for watching Tom, glad you enjoyed it! In answer to your question i'm not too sure if the Syrup would work the same or not. Most syrups on the market use high fructose syrup. Secondly, syrups are heavy, so when you purchase them, you are paying for some water weight. I recently discovered called 'Special Ingredients', the choice was extensive and i can already imagine some combos I can create! Its worth checking them out as it seems they are highly concentrated vs shop brought so means it will likely go further (i am yet to use them though), failing that Ebay and Amazon hav a wide choice!
@@Mike33 Thanks for the response mate il have at look at them and have a go cheers mate 🎣🎣🎣
What was the point of the yellow food colouring if the final mix is always green, & iv not seen cornflour like that before?? Not criticising just curious 👍
Thanks for the question Lee. The final mix should generally be the colour of the colouring that has been put in (if a good concentrated amount of the colouring has been used) BUT it can at times be dulled or changed when mixed with the Fluro because the stain of the Fluroescein is quite strong. In truth you can probably get away without colour if you wanted, and if so then I expect it will just be a dark red type colour from the stain of the fluorescein.
Hi Mike.
What i would like to ask is, once you have made some, how long does it last? do you have to keep it in the fridge?
Hi Ray, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just noticed..). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally.
Cornflour not being in will make it slightly runnier but by no means will impede the flavour and of course the green glow, both of which are most important for me!
Fantastic mate. If it helps (and I'm not sure if done already) but make in the 100ml or 200ml batch size. The method and amount will suit perfectly. Please feel free to reach out if you have any issues at all, I'm more than happy to help. I made one that I plan on glugging my baits in when we next get back out.
Hi Gazza,Just to make you aware, having checked one or two batches it seems the cornflour may be settling at the bottom after a few days (previously disguised by different bottles i had used so only just noticed..). I would be looking to make a batch the night before a session and giving a good shake the next day OR most likely leaving the flour out entirely which is what I plan to do personally.

@@Mike33 cheers bud do u reckon using maize flour instead it's pretty much the same tho ain't it. 😷 tgc. Gaz
Im thinking it may have the same affect. Mainly because the density issue with the flour vs the liquid. I would say make without as it wont change anything flavour or glow wise just a slightly difference consistency which really makes no difference to the use.
Try with powder milk instead of cornflour
interesting!! certainly worth a shout if anyone plans using a powder to thicken up!
@@Mike33 i use powder Milk în my groundbait mix sometimes. IT has cloud efect, good if you Target Bighead carp or silver carp.
We're do u buy the fluorescein plz
You can purchase from numerous places however Ebay is the cheapest. This was where I brought from last. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163870792169
Thanks mate I got the stuff and made them salted caramel looks good tested it
Oh nice, best of luck and hopefully we can get back on the bank soon so you can put it to the test!! 🎣🎣
Hi what it the n buyric acid used for
Hi Luke, N-butyric acid is a totally natural organic acid. It is normally found in rancid butter, parmesan cheese and get this...vomit, and is completely water soluble which makes it a great additive to use during the cold water temperatures. It can be mixed with other flavours and If you decide to buy then dont leave it in the house, it is by far the worst smell I've ever come across!
@@Mike33 ok thank you so you don't have to put it in as I didn't see it in the video
Absolutely, not needed at all just another flavour combo. It was originally in the edit I did but I was trying to keep it as close to supermarket products as I could. Thank you very much for watching and your comment!
@MikesCarpingAdventures can you just use n buytric acid instead of fluorescein and still give the goo a green glow. Also, great vid.
Thank you very much Lewis, the green aspect is a result of the fluorescein so if you remove this it will be just a liquid to pump into bags/sticks/cover baits etc. This isn't a bad thing at all and I actually have another video on the channel which you will be interested in on how to super boost your boilies in a different way which i think is a great edge, but if you do need that green aspect then that fluorescein would be needed.
@@Mike33 do you mind if I do a video on my channel. Lewis Fishing
of course not mate no problems, maybe you can make it even better than I did because if I could go back and change things a little I think I would 🤣. I would advise to maybe come at it from a different angle or something fresh if you do one though so that it's not exactly the same, put your spin on it!
Ye I will thanks
liquid glucose is better than the glycerin in my experience
Thanks mate, always good to hear what works for others!
Two day before go fish put the boilies inside the gloo,
Yes, gotta love infusing baits. I actually made some boilies from scratch mixing in some of the flavours and other ingredients where relevant and the boilies ooze the flavour and green glow. Always good to be different!
That's what it is! in summer this Looks like a toxic slick when seen from high up after someone's session, you see it mid water drifting 50+ meters away or so. How about no color! maybe worth a try.
Yes it's used quite a bit (the homemade version and other official brands). If they don't want the green glow then absolutely it is easy enough, just use flavours and all good. 👌
@@Mike33 just the minimum
I am literally interested in making this any new advice going forward
Hi Kayleigh, the only changes I have made is removing the flour as i quite prefer the runnier constancy of the mix. Experiment with flavour amounts and types as highly concentrated flavour will naturally need far less than others (the bottles of flavours will typically give a guide). Hope this helps and good luck!
Anyone know if drain dye would work?
Hi Joe, the Fluorescein mentioned is used for various things like drains, eyes etc so should be fine but there are some comments with suggestions on where to find it alongside Amazon.
Have you caught fish on it?
Hi Ben. Yes I have caught on this just before the lockdown kicked in. Had one rod on Liquid and another not on any at all (same boilie and rig). Pleased to say that the one with liquid was the winner on that occasion. I would always advise to test out your own goo like this over a period of time to see if it makes much difference on the water you are fishing. As always different lakes will react differently to flavours. Good luck!
Thanks mate looks interesting must say , did you get all ingredients from super markets
@@bennicholson191 very welcome Ben. All from the supermarket except for the bits highlighted part way in (Fluoroescein) which gives the green glow effect. Some decide not to have the green glow and just go for the PVA flavour burst to put in the bags etc. The fluoroescein is only worth having if you want that green affect.
THANKS!
Thank you for watching!
British Aqua Feeds 18quid for 5ltrs of vegetable glycerin save a fortune.
Good call Paul. BAF great source for various baits.
@@Mike33 I buy a lot from them I make the baits to sell .The quality is top notch.
Absolutely, can't say I've heard anything negative.
thanks Paul
Hy from where can i buy the empty goo bottles?
Hi Zoltan, I got mine from Amazon but the prices seemed to fluctuate a bit so do a search on there and then compare on your normal places like Ebay & Google. Hope this helps 😁. A link to mine - amzn.to/35dHfAg
🔥
Thank you for your comment guys!
What could you use for a fishy attractor
Hi Mark. My personal flavour faves are Krill, Squid and probably Octopus. Sometimes I would use all 3 and other times just the one but it's good to play around and see what works on different lakes.
Is that shop bought flavours.
Sadly you won't find krill etc in the shops (maybe tackle shops) but ones like these are worth a look - amzn.to/3jA37g4
Alternatively just look for highly concentrated flavours from bait companies, a number around luckily.
If you want shop bought then definitely make your way to the baking isle and you will have a number of options that used alone or in combination with something else, would go down nicely.
If you want something "off the shelf" go to a chinese store and find some belachan/fermented shrimp paste. You can also find msg in the same store wich is another great addition.
5ltrs of glycerol or glycerine 18quid British aqua feeds
👏 thanks for sharing!
Regarding Fluorescein, Ophthalmologists use it to stain human eyes. As others have pointed out, it's also safe in water course tracing.
Absolutely Dermot, it would probably take an insane amount to ever have any negative affects at all i expect.
Good video and subscribed!
A better alternative would be to use corn syrup as it's a natural preservative and use thurmatine B as a flavouring.
If you have time check out my channel. Stay safe buddy.
Fantastic thank you Darren, i will certainly look into the options you mentioned, always willing to learn on better ways of doing things! Will check out the channel for sure!
Tight Lines!!
I have purchased the likes of n-butyric (dreadfully smelly) and some other extras i use personally. Kept the flavours quite basic here so people have something to be getting on with. I started out this way and build up my supply of flavours :)
Not great on environment ,save em and re use them
Once you have used the bottles then absolutely re-use where you can. They last for quite some time I have found so it's rare one will be empty for some time 😁
just get on with it.
Appreciate the comment Jason but I would rather make it a longer video and include all the info needed than cut a load of bits out just to save time.
MikesCarpingAdventures I just wanted to see the end result so bad. It sure did look good though.
Thanks for your comments Jason. Everyone watches videos for different reasons and likes different things so thank you for your input. I really hope you give it a go and hopefully it will work for you. All the best!
