I strongly recommend using particles during the Winter I find it a good method for lengthy sessions. During the winter months I tend to use a metho
d that is made up using partiblend and powdered banana milkshake. I have recently tried using a mix with garlic but didn’t get the results I had hoped for.
I soak 1kg of partiblend in water for 24 hours before cooking and then add 500g of powdered banana milkshake, to the water, bringing it to the boil and then simmering for 40 mins until the water turns a thick yellow colour. I find putting this mixture straight into a bait bucket with a lid on increases the flavour intensity.
When setting up your rig using this mixture thread a selection of particles onto the hair. Then take a handful of particles and mix with any kind of base mix, I prefer to use pineapple crush boiles that have been reduced to powder. This can then be placed in a PVA bag ready for you to cast out.
Good luck with this method
