Mixes for method feeder fishing

Holds during the cast.Opens on the bottom.

How a method feeder mix should work: even dampening, binding in the feeder, breakdown on the bottom and adjustment for depth and casting distance.

NUTRIBAITS method feeder mixes and carp bait

NUTRIBAITS / METHOD FEEDER

Binding and breakdown must remain in balance.

A method feeder mix needs to mould cleanly, withstand handling and casting, then release around the hookbait after reaching the bottom. If it is too dry, it falls away too early. If it is overwetted, it remains compact for too long. Both the recipe and bankside preparation affect the result.

What makes a functional mix

Every fraction has a different job. Fine particles create cloud and binding, while coarser particles add structure and food value. Heat-treated cereals, oilseeds, meals and aromatic ingredients must be balanced for the intended use and preparation method.

02

Add water gradually

Add water in several stages and mix thoroughly each time. Allow the mix to absorb moisture before making the final adjustment. Pouring all the water in at once creates lumps and uneven binding. The exact amount also changes with raw-material moisture and weather.

  • a smaller first addition of water
  • thorough mixing
  • resting time for moisture to settle
  • a final correction and optional riddling
03

Test at a realistic depth

Compress the filled feeder and immerse it in a container or shallow water. Check whether the mix survives handling and when it begins to open. Deeper water and a longer drop may require more cohesion than a shallow swim.

The NUTRIBAITS range in development

Our method feeder mixes will form a clear part of each flavour range, making them easy to combine with boilies, hookbaits and liquid attractors. The recipe, pack weight, preparation guide and breakdown time will be published with the finished product.
