Has anyone used this with tench or bream in mind?

I think it's just a dye and nothing more. I've used some on occasions mixed in my crumb when tench fishing and some friends have used it bream fishing in Ireland. It's nowt special.

Yes, I used it as a base with hemp and sweetcorn and a little tiger nut juice looking for tench... and got 3 small tench but the got hammered by lots of little carp.

Probably the most successful bait additive ever. I have caught loads and loads of tench when using it as an additive to method mixes,and in boilies, over a period of maybe 30 years. I would hazard a guess that at least 50% of bait manufacturers add some to their mix/baits.

 

And of course a few million bream

As far as I was aware it's mainly just a red dye with a bit of peppery spice.

 

Just rememberd my friend miroku used it in his ground bait mix at wingham last year......eels seemed to like it

As Den says, its been around since the early 70’s, probably first used by Rod Hutchinson, main supplier was “Haiths”. Again as Den said, great additive not only for Carp but most other species, which was a nuisance in the days when I was a Carper.

Pretty certain it was first used on the Dartford lakes...way back almost at the start of "specials"....before boilies even. I will ask my mate Ted tomorow..."he was there" :)
