Groats

We add groats to Carpticle and Euro Mix as without them the overall mix would be completely lacking in a vital ingredient.

Bait making tip:

Try adding 50% of Trout pellets, to 50% drained soaked Groats. Wait for the pellets to break down and then mould the mixture into groundbait-sized balls ready to fire out into your swim. It's one of the best tricks in the book! Groats mixed with SuperRed, Trout Pellets and a few Make Your Own Boilies. The ultimate groundbait!

Simply soak them for 24-48hrs in water which has been added one large tin of evaporated milk and 50mls Multimino-PPC for every 2kg of dry groats. This turns the grains a lovely pinky colour and imparts the most tremendous savoury/sweet smell. You can also add a glycerol-based flavour to add still further to the attraction.

First blend together the flavour, the evaporated milk and the Multimino-PPC then add the liquid solution to the dry groats and mix them together well in a large bucket. Allow to stand overnight to give the groats a chance to absorb some of the neat attraction before finally adding water so that the groats are covered to a depth of two or three inches. Now let the groats soak in the sealed bucket for a further 24 hours and they are ready for use. There is no need to boil them in this instance as the soaking process will allow the groats to absorb water fully.
