Acid!

N-Butyric to be precise, anyone tried it for Barbel?

Was always a favourite of mine (and the fish's) in my Carp baits when I made my own base-mixes, but was thinking of giving it a go in a Barbel bait for next season. Would imagine that it would compliment a meaty/cheesy/garlic base perfectly, although the Wife may not agree

Hi Oxo
Just been looking it up on the Net and reading a few Articles.


NUTRABAITS N-BUTYRIC ACID


Arguably the most anti-social smell of the lot, and undoubtedly one of the most effective. If it hasn’t been fished-out on a water it will catch – but will the trouble and strife let you use it? Probably not, and with just cause; it’s revolting!

We really would prefer it if you didn’t buy this product, just to save our long-suffering lads the aggravation of bottling more of it!

If you insist on using it, we suggest either using it on its own at the recommended level, as shown on the bottle, or at a couple of drops with the flavour of your choice.

Just wondered does it Smell that Bad.

Smells bad alright - bit like intense cheese and/or vomit.
Be careful - very very persistent and anti social smell.
But seems like an effective ingredient/additive for barbel.

Cheers guys,

Cheesy vomit - good description! That or a pair of old sweaty trainers that the cat's used as a litter tray....

I've got a bottle in the fishing shed so I'm going to give it bash in my Barbel mix I recon. Thinking of a base mix with Blue Cheese Powder, Garlic Powder, Meat Meal and Belachan (Chinese Fermented Shrimp paste) with a spot of N-Butryric for good measure.

Not sure how effective it will be, but you'll have no problem identifying me on the banks next season
