dean,

 

Some years ago (1970's) I was in the same boat with flavorings (I refuse to waste perfectly good "u's" on words such as flavourings since I'm across the pond). Finally I found a "list" would suffice. My list is now 67,943 (it includes commercial bait products) and growing. Maybe you should just start a list?

What are you doing with all those boilies?

 

I use 2 or 3 flavours and onw of them Richworth Esterberry I have been using for years. I like to stick to a few baits I have confidence in.

Be careful Dave, you'll be onto the Mung beans before you know it, and there's no way back after that. :crazy:

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

I have been catching on Nash formula one for a few years and have quite a few in the feezer + a few kilos of shelf life formula 1 + dunbells in the cupboard. I did buy a kilo of The source this year and have half a bag left. I also carry tubs of dunbell tutti frutti, cell, kg1 and trigger, I also have a few of each in various glugs.

Pop up wise the Formula one have a small bag in each pack, I have source in three sizes which were given to me by a mate and carry a tub of solar Jacko specials (bright orange dunbells).

I generaly fish a bottom bait or snowman style bait over a pva bag of mixed size and type pellet with a few crushed boilies or a stick mix as on the waters I fish I have found this works better than putting in loads of freebies.

I start with a different bait on each rig and will chop and change until I get a run, then I will use the same type on both rods.

From my match fishing I have learnt that fish want different baits on different days or even at different times of the day - its just a case of finding out what.

I have had a good few fish on a single Jacko special cast to crashing fish or fished in a few shallow far bank margin patrol route spots in the middle of the day.

 

PS: I think you are nuts :P Have you tried nuts or particles yet,? Plenty to choose from out there. :rolleyes:
