There are a number of bird food baits base mixes on the market today but most of the best are those that contain other ingredients such as fishmeal, milk protein and egg products. That said you would be surprised at how easy it is to put together simple, yet highly digestible and nutritious bait using bird food alone. For instance, by adding 10% Robin Red® to 90% fine-ground Red Factor™ or Nectarblend™; or by mixing 25% Prosecto Insectivorous™, 25% PTX™ and 50% Red Factor™. Both these combinations will give you perfectly presentable bird food bait that has considerable advantages over other types of boilie recipes, not least in terms of cost. Bird foods can also be regarded as prime aids to the well being of the carp as they are classed as high fat, high-energy ingredients that aid digestion and boost growth.
