About Liquids & Additives

Flavours cover sweet mixes, fishmeal feeds and winter fishing.

Liquids soak into groundbait, pellets and hookbaits and carry the smell further through the swim.

Powders are added to dry groundbait before wetting, while dips and sprays are used on the hookbait just before casting.

Using Bait Liquids and Additives

Liquid attractors are most useful when fish rely on smell, such as in cold or coloured water. In clear, warm water a lighter touch usually works better than heavy flavouring.

The flavour should suit the base of your feed. Sweet liquids go with sweet groundbaits and corn, while fishy and savoury liquids pair with fishmeal pellets and method mixes.

Liquids are added to the water used to mix groundbait or poured over pellets to soak in. Dips and sprays coat a single hookbait, so it gives off more scent than the feed around it.

Powders such as sweeteners and feed stimulants are stirred into dry groundbait. Add them before the water, so they spread evenly through the mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much liquid should I add to groundbait?

A capful or two in the mixing water is enough for most 1kg bags. Too much can put fish off, especially in clear water.

Do bait dips work in winter?

Dips are most useful in cold water, when fish are less active and rely more on smell. A short soak before casting is usually enough.

Can I use carp liquids for coarse fishing?

Many carp liquids also attract bream, tench and barbel. Use less than you would for carp, as smaller fish can be put off by very strong flavours.

Should I add liquid to pellets?

Coating pellets with a little liquid helps them stand out from the feed already in the swim. Let them soak in for a few minutes before use.
