Hi. I recently attended the Fish Fest at Chapmans in Hull and was talking to a member to Archie Braddock’s on the Quest stand.  He was telling me about his powder additives that are been reintroduced. Unfortunately at the time i was unable to make any purchases but will be doing so soon.

What I would like to know is which and how he used to make the paste with hemp in, he did tell me but there was a lot to take in that day that Ii forgot!  Also with the sweetcorn, which additive was used?

I remember him saying he prepares and freezes etc but I am very intersested in trying the 3 formulas he had made on display (sweetcorn with additive, meat coated in additive and the paste with hemp).

Once Ii know i will then be heading of to Chapmans to purchase the Quests ingredients you suggest. I have subscribed to your blog and look foward to endless help and info.

Thank you, DEAN

Hi Dean.  The three items you requested info on;

Sweetcorn with Mega Carp. I tipped a tin  of Jolly Green, juice and all, into a maggot box and stirred in two heaped teaspoonsful of Mega Carp.  Best done the night before.

Luncheon Meat with Xotic Spice. Chop up a 300grm tin and drop it into a small freezer bag. Sprinkle over the meat 2 heaped teaspoons of Xotic Spice, then shake the bag until all the meat is coated. Freeze until needed.

Hemp and Mega Spicy. Liquidise the hemp in a blender until it is a sticky grey slop. Stiffen it up with groundbait dosed with Mega Spicy at the higher winter level, instructions for same on the Mega Spicy carton.  I use it for groundbait end plugs in an open ended feeder, on its own in a cage feeder, or stiffened up further, as a method mix.

I hope this helps.

Archie.
