Cheers Rich

Ive been told that cow feed smells similar to nutrtabaits trigga boilies because it has similar things in it like yeast powders and liver powders ive been trying to get hold of some but no luck yet.

Now flaked beet ( speedie beet ) , added to hemp , looks good. Hatter

I tried to soak some because the sugar beet nuts were bigger than catfish pellets. they went crazy in the bucket and started fermenting and producing heat as the absorbed the water. I wouldn't use them again. I'm hoping to get some cow cake again for the summer, a mate has cows and they pay £70 per tonne for the cake, so it's cheap for a few kgs.

Maybe correct but dont you think pellets soak up lots of water and take even longer to break down.

If you want a particle type mix then you cannot go wrong with pidgeon feed, it contains pulses and seeds such as maples,corn,maize etc. I used to soak over night in a cool box, one of the big plastic ones, just cover the particles with boiling water and leave overnite and they will be ready for use. You will have to top up the water level as the particle soaks up the water............... you can add flavours at this stage as well. With regard to a groundbait type feed then have a look at the dog food Vitalin. It comes in 15kg bags and costs about a tenner. This stuff is magic, binds well and you can make your balls of feed as hard as you like. it contains mainly flaked maize and bonemeal and does have its own unique smell. Best way to prepare it is to mix wet particle in with it and leave overnight... its then damp enough to ball up. Obviously you will need to experiment to get the mix as you want it. You can add pellet to the mix before anything wet goes in. Hope this helps.

I've got a couple of goats which relish the Argo goat feed I feed them on but it is very 'heavy' and sweet and I'm not sure how good it would be for the water throwing large amounts in. In any event I tried it in moderation for the normally obliging carp on the canal that runs by my house and it was OK but nothing special. To be honest the commercial carp style particle feeds are such good value in larger quantities that I'm not certain its worth experimenting anyway. Kev

Horse food mollasis is really good at getting fish into your swim, if they like sweet food. I really dont think that these baits are that good for barbel/chub though, they are much more a bream/tench/carp bait
