Sugar-Packed Summer Mix
Bait prepped. Tick. Rig tied. Tick. Now here’s the mix you want to fish along side the two…
Millimetre for millimetre, there are not many other drinks which compete with Cream Soda when it comes to sugar! “It’s why I love it,” grins Adam Penning as we quiz him on this rather unique liquid addition to his spod mix. Adam’s summer mix continues to get all the sweeter with a good helping of Sticky’s Cloudy Manilla, crumbed Manilla Active, a big handful of those sugar-saturated tigers he’s just explained how to create and some peanuts. On paper, it doesn’t get any better!
What is the ratio of tigers, peanuts and Manilla?
“It’s a split of 50% Manilla Active and 25% for each of the nuts.”
Do you chop up the tigers and peanuts?
“Yes, those are both chopped/blended, whilst the Manilla Active boilies are run through a food processor and broken down into a fine crumb.”
What ratios do you use of the Cream Soda to Cloudy Manilla?
“I mix the Cloudy Manilla and Cream Soda 50/50 and then add it to the nuts and crumb.”
What’s the consistency of the final mix?
“A wet groundbait mix. I add enough of the liquid to keep it all wet and then include some 2.3mm Bloodworm Pellets shortly before using the mix. Don’t add them too far in advance of introducing the mix, otherwise they’ll go all soft and gooey.”
1. Start by blitzing some Manilla Active.
2. Next add some crushed tigers to the mix, and follow this with chopped peanuts.
3. The King ingredient of the mix: Cream Soda!
4. And this stuff: Cloudy Manilla Liquid.
5. Mix the two & pour over the crumbed mix.
6. You need a wet groundbait mix consistency.
