Okay so this is my second favourite method mix and is a bit stiffer than my other mix taking around 10 minutes to break down into a nice pile of feed. So what do you need to make this mix?
6oz Bait-Tech Sweet Coconut Method Mix
3oz Crushed Hemp Seed
3oz Bait-Tech 2mm Special ‘G’ Feed Pellets
3oz Milk Powder
1 x tin Anchovy’s in Olive Oil (Liquidized)
Bait-Tech Omega 3 Fish Oil
Now the first thing to do is to put all of your dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and give them a good mix around to ensure they are all mixed up together nicely. You should get something resembling this photo.
The next thing to do is add the anchovy and give another mix around, now slowly add the fish oil mixing all the time until you have a mix that will clump together when squashed in your hands but that will also crumble easily when you rub it between your hands.
Once you have this you need to pick a good PVA mesh, now my favourite has to be the Carp Craze 15mm Stick Mesh. It has been given 1st place awards by several angling publications but more importantly I love the way it performs, it melts quickly, leaves no residue even in really cold water but is still a good strong mesh.
As you can see you can make any size stick you want depending on how hungry the fish are in your swim. The following photos were taken over a 10 minute period just to show the breakdown of both the pva and the stick mix.
