The Bombay way<\/h2>\n Mark’s Bombay mix is made up of several different items, to make up a carpet feed of small particles.<\/p>\n
The first part of the mix is the barbel anglers’ best friend, hemp.<\/p>\n
You can use standard hemp, but Mark prefers to use Dynamite Hemp and Snails. To prepare this, he riddles off the hemp, before transferring the snails to a bait tub to use as an alternative hook bait during the session.<\/p>\n
A little hemp juice is poured over them to stop them drying out.<\/p>\n
The second part of the mix is another barbel favorite…pellets.<\/p>\n
„To mix things up, I use three pints of moistened 2mm Dynamite Meaty Marine pellets and two-pints of moistened 3mm Swim Stim Amino Original,” Mark explained.<\/p>\n
„To moisten them, I add a little Meaty Marine Liquid Attractant to some lake water and then just to say cover the pellets with the flavoured solution, allowing all the water to soak in.<\/p>\n
„I want them to be soft and sticky on the outside but still hard on the inside. So you can easily squeeze them into a ball, but under light pressure they breakdown, but don’t turn to mush.”<\/p>\n
This is the base of the mix, but when he cups it in, he will also add a few grains of sweetcorn, regulating the amount as the session continues.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
