            sensas do one in a bottle called liquidmix – pretty good value compared to some other flavours on the market – about 3 quid a bottle – I use the brasem one for my g.bait and pellets for skimmers

                Powdered betaine added sparingly to groundbait.
                A couple of drops of scopex to a pint of maggots.
                Pol vitamo on worms.

                      Whats the saying ?? additives and other gimmicks catch more anglers than they do fish ??

                        I don’t see any harm in at least,trying some of the many and now vast flavourings,that are out there.If you feel that some additive is assisting,and you can moniter your results,then go ahead.There does seem to be enougth evidence to back up most claims,after all,most of your groundbaits contain alot of additives,and we all have our favorites !!..if people wish to continue to bury their heads in the sand with regards to these products then, so be it,let an individual’s results speak for themselves,Most match men are increasingly,looking at what the carp men use,and adopting their proven baits and various rigs,so give it a go…you’ll never know intil you try !!

                            curry powder works on maggots in winter, tried it the other year. My mate fished next to me and I had curry powder on my maggots and bagged up, he struggled!
                            Only 1 teaspoon for each pint and clean them off before you do it.

                              I am not a huge believer, although saying that, they can give you a psychological advantage over your opponents.
