        Hi all, two things….
        I bought some Marukyu EFG medium granule groundbait on Friday to use this Saturday just gone and I though I would mix it up the night before the match.

        Low and behold on the day of the match I tried to squeeze the groundbait around my method feeder and it fell to pieces!

        I tried adding more water but no joy, I think the granules in the groundbait soaked in the water too much as I put in the right amount of water.

        I regularly mix Sonubaits groundbait the night before with no problems so it may have been me not mixing it right but if a word of warning try not to mix the night before!!

        Now my question is…. Is there anything I can add to the Marukyu to help bind it together as I’m reluctant to throw it away?

        Thanks
        Jon

                get some proper stuff, if you have stuff that won’t bind very good use soya flower with it

                  Go back to your old method mix and add 1/3 Marukyu. Alternatively you could add sugar or horlics but it could ruin the mix if you get it wrong

                        i’m sure marukyu haven’t developed these G/BS,pellets and paste for us to start adding things to it ~sick ~sick ~sick how many millions of pounds were spent researching the product this is why you will get negative responses to the bait

                          Its expensive enough without adding ingredients to it,question you should ask is is it worth buying over your old groundbait that did mould together…

                            if it doesnt bind or perform as its supposed contact the supplier and find out if you have got the wrong g/bait for the job if its the right one then you may get some freebies

                              That one thing I have found with it, it does dry out very quickly.
                              Best to mix small amounts as you need it, only takes a few minutes, if you do need to keep some, it keeps better in a plastic bag with the air squeezed out of it before sealing.

                                They work well with other additives, their range also includes powdered and liquid additives to add to their G/B, pastes and pellets.

                                  I have had no problems at all with Marukyu products. The stuff is fool proof!!!! Mix it as specified on the packet 5 minutes before you need it and it`s spot on. Surely if you are paying for a G/B with so many active ingredients in you wouldn`t want it inert????

                                  Just my opinion
