Pro Tips for Maximum Attraction
-
The “Consultant’s” Mix: Many top anglers now use a drill and whisk to prepare this groundbait. This method aerates the mix, creating a fluffy, consistent texture that breaks down faster in the water, releasing its scent cloud immediately upon landing.
-
Sifting for Success: Regardless of how you mix it, always pass your final groundbait through a riddle. This ensures a consistent particle size, which is critical for an even breakdown and prevents the “lumps” that can lead to overfeeding.
-
Strategic Layering: When using a Method Feeder, layer the Krill & Squid groundbait with your hookbait. The potent aroma will draw fish to the feeder from a distance, while the high protein content encourages them to compete for the bait, leading to more confident bites.
-
Range Synergy: For the best results, use this in conjunction with other items in the Krill & Squid range, such as liquid additives or pellets, to create a consistent scent trail that fish find impossible to ignore.
Where to Use
-
Big-Fish Targets: Specifically designed for carp, bream, and large F1s that are actively seeking high-protein food sources.
-
Commercial Fisheries: Excellent for method feeder work or potting in tight to the margins when targeting large carp in the summer months.
-
Natural Venues: Its potent, natural scent profile makes it highly effective for bream and tench on larger lakes and rivers where you need to draw fish from a distance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is this mix suitable for all species?
A: Yes. While it is widely considered a “big fish” mix due to its high protein and strong attraction, it is incredibly effective for all species, including skimmers, roach, and hybrids that are attracted to the savory, fishmeal-based profile.
Q: How much water should I use for a 2kg bag?
A: A good starting point is using a 2-pint bait tub full of water for the full 2kg bag. Add the water gradually, mixing thoroughly, and then allow the groundbait to rest. This resting period is crucial to allow the fishmeal and pellets to fully hydrate. You can then “fine-tune” the dampness with a final small sprinkle of water if needed.
Q: Can I use this for float fishing?
A: Absolutely. While it is perfect for feeders and cupping, you can easily ball it in by hand for float fishing. Its binding properties allow you to create firm balls that will reach the bottom intact before breaking down into a highly active cloud.
