FAQs
How much water should I add when mixing?
Start with a small amount of water and gradually add more, mixing thoroughly until you achieve your desired consistency. The amount of water will vary depending on the fishing method and the conditions.
Can I use this groundbait in a PVA bag?
Yes, but be cautious. It's best mixed slightly drier for PVA bag use to prevent the bag from dissolving too quickly. Always test a small bag first.
What kind of fish does this attract?
Primarily designed for skimmers, bream, and other silverfish. It can also attract other species, depending on the venue and available food sources.
Can I add live bait to this groundbait?
Yes, adding live bait like maggots or casters can enhance the groundbait's attraction. Introduce the bait into the mix just before you start fishing.
How long does the scent last?
The sweet caramel scent is designed to be long-lasting in the water. However, its effectiveness may decrease over time, especially in strong currents. Refresh your feeding with regular casting or cupping in.
Can I freeze this groundbait?
While it can be frozen, it's best used fresh for the best results. Freezing may alter the texture slightly, but it will still be usable.
Is this groundbait suitable for all types of venues?
This groundbait performs well in many venues, but its effectiveness can vary. The dark color is particularly suited for clear venues.
Troubleshooting
Groundbait isn't forming a good ball.
Add water gradually and let it sit for a few minutes to allow it to absorb the water properly. If the mix becomes too wet, add a small amount of dry groundbait to correct it.
Not attracting fish.
Adjust the amount of groundbait used or try different presentation methods. Change your approach by trying different hookbaits or adjusting the feeding frequency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Mixing: Start by adding water gradually to the groundbait. Allow the mix to settle for a few minutes before final adjustment. The desired consistency will depend on the fishing method; for feeder fishing, a firmer mix is usually preferred.
