Groundbait mix

[TF_steve1]

Any suggestions on a mix for fishing the big waggler at 50m for skimmers in about 4ft.it obviously needs to stay together in the catapult but break up quite quickly

Not a specific mix I have tried, but I do like a lake and leam combi for skimmers. To keep it together, it would need to be stickier. You could try adding grey leam to help it bind, should still break up quickly. You could also mix it with one of the sensas aromix liquids, this will make it stickier and therefore hold together better. Given the depth of water you don’t want it too heavy, or too too sticky as you’ll want it to break up quickly.

A sticky mix I use on rivers is secret, brown crumb and superoach, if it’s good enough for Scotthorne.

Green swimstim, skimmers love it, stays together, and breaks down, perfect!

50m is a long chuck ie 60 plus turns on most Daiwa reels. If your including chopped worms etc have a look at Sensas Juane Tracante as a base. May be worth including some sort of fishmeal as well or magic.

a fish meal based ground bait and sensas magic witha little pv1 to bind…the key to this is to choose a soft mesh ground bait catty.

Try sensas matchblend, canal extra and epiciene. sticky mix holds particles well breaks down slow.

feed at start and add no more for a couple of hours.
