Hi all,
I was just wondering if it was ok to use fish(y) flavours when using John Baker's Supermilk base-mix, such as Alar Salar or shellfish essence etc Not sure wether these flavours would combine ok with the base-mix? Cheers, Jez. |

I suspect it would be OK. Personnally would go for a 'confectionary' type flavour, but did read of an interesting combination of fish flavours with a milk type mix in a chapter by Dave Green in JB's book.

I've heard that Nutrabaits Cheese Elite is good - makes a change from fishy - that's if you don't want to go creamy, fruity or confectionery.

Jez just wondering what made you choose supermilk as your base mix? I've been considering using it myself

I had read some good stuff about it, all about the high protein content etc and thought i'd give it a try really....
What flavours are you thinking of using with it if you don't mind me asking? Jez. |

Flavour not really and issue but whichever one you choose I would stick to a non oil based flavour if your intention is to fish this winter with it. Alar-salar is oil based btw.
As with all milk pros, there is not a lot of inherent smell to the basemix itself. Any flavour therefore will carry quite well in these mixes, so go steady on the levels, and don't boil the ass out of any boilies you plan on making. 30 seconds will do it. SM |

well i was going to use what Dave Green uses in the john baker book which is 20ml salmon oil, 2ml ala-salar and 2ml meatball in a six egg mix but I was going to reduce the amounts by half because I want the flavour to be very subtle. I'm hoping to use this as a long term bait, although I've just bought some waka's on advice from big john but I have no idea how effective they will be long term. I should imagine that because they are ready made and as such there is little you can do to them, there long term use will be limited. There are also 4 recipies in the JB book 2 for short term 2 for long term he uses ala salar, search 4, grilled bacon, anchovy extract etc. So i don't think it really matters a great deal just as long as you don't go mad with any of them. Cheese sounds like a good bet though.

Got to admit that i became interested in milk protein based bait after reading what Tony Miles has to say about them in elite barbel it's really worth a read if you haven't already with some sound advice on application

BFW shop is the best place mate, believe me it's the fastest service around. I have to say it's one of the best reads I ever had, I read it from cover to cover in about 8 hours, I just couldn't put it down. I can honestly say I've never read a book cover to cover in one sitting before and I've just started reading it again. Tony Miles if your watching you did a fantastic job

Jezz, they don't leak out of the bait as well in low temps. They still work fine but when it gets cold you need all the attraction your bait can muster.
Cheers SM |
