FAQs

Can I use this for species other than Roach?

While formulated specifically for Roach, the hemp-based attractants are highly effective for most silverfish species like Bream and Skimmers.

How much water should I start with?

Start with 1 pint per 900g bag, but adjust slightly based on the desired consistency for pole or feeder fishing.

Why is the groundbait black?

The black color helps the groundbait blend into the substrate of the lake or river, making it less visible to cautious fish.

Do I really need to let it rest for 30 minutes?

Yes, resting allows the ingredients to fully hydrate, which prevents the groundbait from being overly dry or difficult to mold.

Is this groundbait suitable for winter fishing?

Absolutely; the subtle attractants and dark color make it an excellent choice for colder, clearer water conditions.

Troubleshooting

Groundbait is too sticky after mixing.

Add a small amount of dry groundbait mix to the bowl and re-riddle to break up the excess moisture.

Mix is breaking down too quickly in the water.

Increase the compression when filling your feeder or pole cup, and reduce the total water added to the mix.

Fish are present but not feeding on the bait.

Ensure the groundbait is properly riddled to avoid large, unappealing clumps, and consider adding live bait like casters or squatts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-attraction hemp and coriander profile
  • Tailorable texture for different seasons
  • Discreet black color for wary fish
  • Professional-grade blend used by experts

Cons

  • Requires 30 minutes of resting time for optimal mix
  • Specific to silverfish, may not be ideal for carp-dominated waters
  • Requires manual riddling to ensure consistent particle distribution

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the groundbait, empty the 900g bag into a mixing bowl. Add approximately 1 pint of water, mixing thoroughly to ensure even hydration. It is crucial to let the mix rest for at least 30 minutes; this allows the hemp particles to absorb the water properly. After resting, run the groundbait through a riddle to achieve a uniform, clump-free consistency. Store the dry product in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the natural ingredients. Once mixed, use within the same fishing session for maximum freshness.
