Posts: 699 (09/09/01 12:12) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	hi all after blanking yet again on my own flavoured meat bait and shop brought boilies - i've been thinking about trying out paste as everyone seems to be raving about it but the thing is i don't know where to start and am on a tight budget and dont fancy spending out ( or getting mum to spend out! ) on buckets of base mixes and bottles of special flavours that cost an arm and a leg etc, so i was wondering if you guys can help me please? or is there any other baits that i can try eg pellets etc?? cheers Daniel

I have caught from the area we fish on it. There are going to be a million recipes but here is mine. 6oz Mature Cheddar 6oz Danish Blue pack of frozen short crust pastry ideally 5ml of cheese flavour, I have some you can have. Grate the lot into a bowl, defrost the pastry first !, add the flavour. Then get your hands smelly by mixing it all up into a smooth paste. Cheers Andy

Get a bowl, put your all the pastry mix in with around half the Cheese Sauce Granules. Grate the cheese and mix in. Add water to get the consistency you want. Result - a lot of smelly cheese paste. You can always use Danish Blue or any mixture of cheeses for the cheesy bit. Try mixing small amounts first to see how it turns out. A cheaper option would be to use just white flour instead of shortcrust pastry. Shortcrust pastry mix is very good for making up pastes but so is white flour. As shortcrust pastry mix is just flour, fat/oil, raising agent (bicarb) and a bit of salt I tend to use white flour if the stuff I'm mixing has a fatty content. For example, you can make a good sausage paste from sausage meat and white flour. Get some sausage meat and add flour until you get a nice paste - if you want to make it smellier add some flavour - but keep the dosage lowish. Better to add some more later rather than try taking some out! Hope this helps - baits are a very big subject. Cheers Bob

If you buy base mixes from a tackle shop they will be expensive as will buying the separate ingredients, there are cheap alternatives such as trout pellet paste or something base on semolina, you could also try dog or cat food just mix it with a binder no flavoring required the choice is really endless. I have experimented with pastes for over 25 years because I get a lot of satisfaction when I catch on my own concoctions it really is a joy. I have several pastes in the freezer and I will be on the Ouse this week so if you like I will bring some with me and you could collect it I will e-mail you to let you know what day and where. tight lines Ray

You are a credit to barbel fishers. Knowledge, as I have always maintained, is the greatest gift from one angler to another especially when it is given free of charge. Ray, I have noticed that twice recently you have offered help to others and even given the location where you can be found fishing in order to help in person. I am certain that I speak for others here and say that we are all impressed how you are prepared to do such a thing. Much respect to you Ray and the other guys. Dany, Take advantage of Ray Woods offer because he and his mates are some of the best barbel fishers that there are. Email me your home address Dany and I will send you a couple of kilo's of my Cheese paste mix together with enough cheese flavour (extremely whiffy) to make it up ready for use together with full instructions for its use absolutely free of charge. Oh bugger it. I'll send you some Liver mix and Liver flavour to keep it company as well if you like OK. Ray, Be aware that some Trent barbel now have your name on them. Hopefully big ones. As soon as the mighty river gets into its Autumn condition and the barbel feed hard, I will email you for a trip up if you fancy it. See what youve started Andy Francis? Good aint it. Regards, Lee.
