Carp Fishing Bait Ingredients And Secrets Of Robin Red Paste And Boilies!
Robin Red is probably the best known successful carp attractor throughout the world and to many anglers, what it is and how it works is a mystery because its full recipe is top secret. But you can get very useful clues on what it is, how it works and how to use it here; so read on now for more information that will boost your big carp catches!
Robin Red is part of the range of bird foods from a company called Haiths of Cleethorpes England. Some of their top ten selling products include the following: Robin Red, Red Factor, Nectarblend, Red Band, Prosecto Insectivorus, Soft Bill, Multi Mix, and Carpticle Mix, Super Red and hempseed. This company has many decades of experience formulating specialised foods for birds for all stages of development and for enhancing plumage, growth, health and so on and these products ideally fit the bill as it were for carp!
Anyone in the bait business will be familiar with Robin Red as has a track record that stands out a mile but of course the other products mentioned are in many ways superb in their own right and all have taken their place in the hall of carp fame today. There are other bird food products that this company and other companies sell which are also very well proven and Hinders is another company to investigate products from.
A number of carp bait companies have refined and adapted and even blended formulations and recipes of extremely successful and new bird food products with huge success. By success I mean unique products proven by customer catches, for example previous Rainbow Lake and Gigantica Lake records, as well as famous fish such as Heather the leather.
CC Moore is a shining example of this and with 12 generations of animal feed and nutrition experience behind them and an original spitfire engine to run part of their milling and race horse feed formulation expertise they have quite a pedigree compared to so many new companies! My totally independent role in creating new innovations, inspiring creative uses of products within truly cutting edge homemade bait paradigms and alternative new readymade bait applications and more, has certainly taught me an incredible depth of knowledge and insights and caught me loads of big fish.
Robin Red has been used by most commercial bait companies at some time or another and is so prevalent that in some cases it might be your unique homemade bait perhaps is the only boilie bait that does not contain it on your water! Beware that any successful ingredient, additive or flavour etc, when over-used, can conversely act as a marker for danger and it might be a bonus to use very little of it in your bait sometimes. You might choose to use a component of it instead, perhaps just the red chilli peppers part instead, or add these to boost a proportion of Robin Red perhaps for a winter and spring bait.
Ways to incorporate Robin Red and apply it in homemade baits, spod, method, particles, pellets and boilies mixes are legion. Just dampen your boilies using a mixture of liquid foods and Robin Red. Or try pre-soaking your pellets in any liquids you like and add Robin Red to produce super ground baits, method mixes or spod mixes for example for both winter and summer use.
So exactly what is Robin Red; after all it certainly colours up the water attractively and even stains your hands a distinctive red! The recipe of Robin Red is shrouded in mystery, controversy and endless speculation, and perhaps all you can say for certain, is that is does not contain Carophyll Red, (but this does not exclude it containing cantaxanthin perhaps.) Robin Red certainly does contain many bioactive components and substances, including antioxidant pigments (plumage colour enhancing agents highly stimulatory to carp!)
In making homemade boilies using 2 or 3 ounces of Robin Red per pound, or 100 or 200 grams per kilogram of dry mix will certainly boost the effectiveness of very many base mixes. For beginners in carp bait making one example is to part formulate a bait using economical crushed Red Band bird food (famous for its aniseed label.)
One applied bird food combination from Haiths that is particularly good and a much more recent idea than Robin Red, is their Super Red mix. This is a mix of the following ingredients:
Robin Red, crushed tiger nuts, crushed Carpticle, peanut granules, crushed hemp seed, Red Factor, teasel seed, and aniseed oil.
You could use this mix as part of your boilie recipes, but think further! This combination may be applied used dry in PVA bags or part of stick mixes for example. You might apply this combination as a paste bait, or in method mixes or ground baits.
Many bait companies have their own unique versions of nutritionally rich bird food mixes. I really love CC Moore Meggablend Red for example. As a consultant and having tested and reviewed countless products for Ian Moore in recent years, two bird food related products I recommend are their Milk and nut mix and their Meggablend Red.
My aim is to empower you and help you defeat any top readymade bait by making super potent homemade baits, and this takes an extraordinary amount of deep study and bait testing as with contents of this sample article.
