Dog biscuits

[Andrew]

Has anyone ever ground them up to use as groundbaits ??

 

I have some and was wondering.

 

Also would they be made into paste when ground up ? if so any recipes would be gratefuly accepted.

I bet they'd work fine, similar to pellets i'd imagine.

 

You could try making a paste with an egg and some water.

 

To be honest though I wouldn't of thought it would work much better than normal groundbait or crushed pellets, but if you've got some spare it's worth a try.

Dog biscuits are a great additive to bulk out groundbaits and mixes. Smashing them up in a blender and then adding them to the groundbait/mix is a good method.

 

You can also try this method; boil the kettle, put the dog biscuits in a tub with a sealed lid, add boiled water into the tub so it reaches about half the biscuit height. Put the lid on and soak for about 2 hours, you may need to add a little more hot water but what you should end up with is a soft paste type mix, which can be used as paste, or stuck onto a method feeder, added to your groundbait/mixes, or just thrown in loose.

Quick and simple.

Thanks mate,

I'd use good quality biscuits too! A better consistency in your mix from my experience

ive found crushed dog biscuits need a little more time and water when preparing it for use as groundbait than some other groundbaits. add some water and about half an hour later i had to add more water.

 

but its definitely a good cheap alternative at about £2 for 2.5kg and caught me plenty of roach over the warmer months

Dog biscuits make handy snacks too when you've been out all night and eaten everything else.

That also pi**es the dog off as well.
